We give preference to families who have been here before, but we have new people every year. Tips for getting reservations: consider the very early or late parts of the season, be flexible about your cottage preferences and which week(s) you can come.

Accommodations at RDC are allocated according to seniority. In order to take advantage of any seniority you may have, be sure to send in your reservation request before MARCH 1st.

You can fill out the Reservation Request Form by clicking on the link below.

In order to receive early consideration for an accommodation, we must receive a written request prior to March 1st. Requests received after March 1st will be honored but only after filling all those received before the deadline. Typically, availability becomes quite limited as the summer approaches. We ask that all guests use the Reservation Request Form. When reservation bookings begin on March 1st, the order in which reservations are placed is as follows:

Priority: Guests who have reserved the same accommodation during the same time period for three consecutive years earn a priority. A guest having priority on a particular accommodation will be given the first option to reserve that accommodation for the appropriate time period.

Seniority credit: One year of seniority is credited to the person or married couple for whom a reservation is made. Guests receive one seniority credit for each year in which they were guests in camp for a stay of five consecutive nights or longer after the age of 25. This credit applies whether or not the individual has paid an RDC bill. An additional credit is granted to guests who stayed at RDC prior to age 25, and a further credit is granted to those guests who served as an employee for at least one full season. A maximum of one seniority credit per season is allowed for any individual.

If the accommodation requested is available, an offer letter will be sent to you with a request for a 20% deposit. If we receive your deposit within 30 days from the date of the offer letter your reservation is confirmed.

If the accommodation requested is not available, a staff member will attempt to contact you to discuss other alternatives. Please make sure you give us current work and home phone numbers!

If the accommodation requested is not available, and no alternatives exist, you will be notified and, if you wish, put on a waiting list.
