You can use your Access to MacEwan Activities (AMA) fund (previously Access to Learning – A2L) toward MacEwan Sport and Wellness summer camps for your dependants! A dependant is a child of whom you are the legal guardian.

How to use AMA funding to register your dependant for camp:

  1. Choose a camp – visit the Sport and Wellness website to explore available summer camps, and note the:
    • Camp name
    • Course ID
  2. Submit your AMA application form at least two weeks before the camp start date.

A separate AMA application form is required for each camp and each child. Do not register for the camp online. You must include your child’s:

  • First name
  • Last name
  • Date of birth
  • Gender identity
  1. Once your AMA application is approved, you’ll receive an email from HR Learning & Development (PD) confirming the AMA funding approval. This is not a confirmation of camp registration.
  2. Sport and Wellness will then process your camp registration request and email you to confirm whether your child has been registered or waitlisted.
    • If your child is waitlisted and a spot becomes available, you will receive an automated email from Sport and Wellness, upon which time you will have two days to confirm if you want the spot. To secure it, forward the email to Cindy Boisvert (boisvertc25@macewan.ca), who will complete the registration. Please do not reply to the email or go to the Welcome Desk.

Important details:

  • You may apply for this funding on or after April 1.
  • Limited spots remain for upcoming summer camps.
  • Summer camps are considered a taxable benefit for the employee utilizing the funds.
  • Sport and Wellness cancellation policies apply to registrations using AMA-funded registrations. Cancellations after the seven-day withdrawal deadline are not eligible for AMA fund reimbursement and will still be a taxable benefit. Notify Cindy Boisvert (boisvertc25@macewan.ca) if you need to withdraw from a camp.
  • No employee discounts are available.
  • There is no GST charged on children’s camps.
  • We rely on everyone’s integrity to use this benefit appropriately.
  • AMA does not cover dependant or spouse/partner swimming lessons, courses, classes or other programs. For a full list of Sport and Wellness programs eligible for AMA funds, visit the Staff Programs page on the Sport and Wellness website.
  • Registrants will receive an email the Wednesday before camps begin with important information, including where to go, what to bring, and how to request to be grouped with friends for camp activities.

Already registered and paid? You can still use AMA funding!

  • Let us know in the “additional notes” on your AMA application form.
