Why do we need signing permission for MK's who are minors (under 19)?

Some of the special activities we participate in during ReBoot require the signing of additional liability and safety forms while on site prior to participation. MK’s who are 19+ can sign on their own behalf. MK’s 18 or younger technically need the signature of a parent or guardian, however, if your parent/guardian have given us permission to do so we can sign on their behalf. To request specific information on what these activities might be please contact the Classic ReBoot Director.

How are the remaining funds raised?

The total cost of Classic ReBoot is $1,650/per MK. Contributions through sending mission organizations, sending churches and personal donors enable those who cannot pay more than $650 to attend.

Can I make a roommate request?

Roommates are assigned by the ReBoot Director and the staff. You have the joy of being with your friend during the day as well as building new friendships with your roommate.

If arriving from overseas, when should I arrive in Canada prior to ReBoot?

Arrive in Canada a minimum of 5-7 days prior to ReBoot, especially if coming from Asia, Africa or Europe. ReBoot’s very active schedule requires your full physical and mental energies. You won’t regret arriving well rested!

NOTE: It may be necessary to allow a 14 day quarantine under COVID19 guidelines if arriving outside of Canada or the province where ReBoot is being held.
