FAQs

What grade should I say I am in when I register?

IMC determines grade levels based on the grade you JUST COMPLETED.  That way you can come one last time right after you graduate from High School.

Do I need to have a passport?

Passports are not required to get in and out of the International Peace Garden, but are the recommended form of identification.  If you do not already have a passport, you will need a birth certificate (everyone in the vehicle) and photo ID (if you are 16 or older) to return to your country of origin upon leaving IMC and the Peace Garden.  Each passenger in every vehicle are expected to present these documents.

This special exemption applies only to the Dunseith and Boissevain ports of entry.

Passports will be required for US citizens to travel to Canada and for Canadians to enter the US.

Please check for the latest information at www.internationalmusiccamp.com or call the winter office (701-838-8472). It’s very important to be prepared, regardless of what you need in order to pass through Customs.  If you do need to apply for a new passport or passport card, please allow plenty of time!

Notice to Canadian Families from Canada Border Services Agency

I forgot to mail in my camper’s health form. Will they still be able to attend camp?

Health forms are due two weeks before the student’s stay at camp and every camper needs to have one on file while at camp. However, if you forgot to send one in or you have misplaced your health form, you can download one here and email it to info@internationalmusiccamp.com or fax it to 701-263-4212 (beginning June 1).

Can I bring my own padlock?

No. We have locks for rent at $5 each. $3 will be returned to the student when both lock and key are turned back into the office.

How much money should my child bring?

On average students bring between $25 to $50 USD for spending money.  The Allegro Shop and Concession Stand are open during Registration on Sunday if you want to check it out before deciding how much to leave with your child.

The Concession Stand is open during recreation and free time. Student may purchase soft drinks, snacks, stationary, postcards, stamps, pencils, etc.  Popcorn is for sale during movie night for $0.50 for a bag.

Can I room with my friend?

You certainly can. Just indicate who you would like to room with on your registration form under roommate preference. Dorm assignments are made the day your registration is received and roommate preference reservations will be held for 2 weeks only. At that time, another roommate will be housed at random.
