Registration & Accommodation – Ontario Winter Bible School

2023 School Information

Registration for the 2023 school will remain open until mid-December. School fees are discounted for those who register prior to Sunday, November 12, 2023.

The school will begin on Saturday, December 23rd with registration and check-in at 4:00 pm and dinner at 5:30 pm followed by an introductory class. The school will conclude with lunch after the last classes on Friday, December 29th.

Important – new for 2023: after reviewing with the hotel, and in light of positive feedback on meal arrangements in 2022, it has been decided to discontinue the hotel’s catering for 2023. Meal arrangements will be similar to the Manitoulin Bible camps for lunch and dinner (self-catering). Breakfast will continue to be provided by the hotel with booked rooms.

Registration will be prioritized on a first come basis, with priority to full time students. Part time visitors are welcome space permitting. We will stop accepting new registrations as of December 17th.

Please ensure that you, and your family if applicable, are familiar with the Guidelines for the school prior to arrival.

Note: the School Fee must be received before your registration will be confirmed (the fee is discounted only if registered by Nov. 12th). See below for a full explanation of costs (accommodation and School Fee).

2023 Bible School and Conference Costs

Reservation of hotel rooms should be done through the school to receive the preferred hotel rate, to ensure proper coordination, and to support inclusion of meeting rooms and other facilities provided to the Bible school by the hotel.

Contact us regarding additional occupancy options. Room types are subject to availability. Larger families that cannot be accommodated in one room will receive a 50% discount on the second room (immediate family only). If your family could be accommodated in one room, but still prefer a second room, this is still available at normal rates.

Part time visitors/attendees are welcome, however, pre-registration is requested to facilitate planning.

Day visitors are asked to pay a prorated School Fee to contribute to the running of the Bible School. Fees are payable by cash or cheque to the Registrar upon arrival. See Part Time Attendance Rates sheet above for more information.
