Both Weeks:
Wednesday August 19 to Friday August 28.
Week One: Wednesday August 19 to Saturday August 22.

Thank you for your interest in attending Upward Bound 2026. We will be opening registration for this year’s conference soon. The application form below will open for submission for you at or after that date. 

We have considerable but finite space for the first part of the conference at GBCC, however we are more limited as to the number of people we can take on our canoe trip. If you are coming from out of country/province we will make every effort to ensure you have a spot on the trip or to let you know as soon as possible if it is full.

When allocating spots, we also consider whether or not someone is able to come to the entire conference. We try and make sure that there is room given to those who want to do come for the entire experience. 

If you are only able to come on the canoe trip, we will begin to fill and confirm any open spots beginning on July 1, 2026. Thanks again for your interest. We are looking forward to seeing you this summer.
