In order to protect the minors whom we serve, all Lone Prairie Camp staff (paid and volunteer) who are 16 or older need a current (within 3 years) Criminal Record Check (CRC) with Vulnerable Sector Search (VSS) on file with the camp office before their start date.* New staff will also need to provide government issued photo ID with date of birth to confirm their identity.
We can also accept a scanned CRC directly from one of the offices of our Shareholder Churches if the original is already on file in their office.
Please get this process started as soon as possible. MyBackCheck.com processes CRCs for adults within 1 business day, but other methods can take several months.
*** We need the original CRC within 60 days of issuance by police services. Please note that we must retain the original copy for our records. ***
- Minors ( Under 16)
- Minors (16 or 17)
- Adults (born after February 28th, 1986)
- Adults (born on February 28th, 1986 or earlier)
Minors (under 16)
Individuals under 16 years of age are encouraged to apply as helpers in our food services or facility management programs. However, individuals under 16 years of age will never be solely responsible for supervising younger children and do not count towards our supervision ratios. We thus do not require Criminal Record Checks for these individuals.
Please contact our office if you will still be under 16 at the end of your term on staff.
Minors (16 or 17)
Due to privacy laws, MyBackCheck.com can not process a Criminal Record Check with Vulnerable Sector Search on your behalf because you are a minor. Please request your CRC from your local police station either in person or using their online system (if available). We need confirmation that your Criminal Record Check is in process (eg. a receipt or note from the station) before we can finish processing your application.
Adults (born after February 28th, 1986)
You are able to request your Criminal Record Checks with Vulnerable Sector Search from your local police station (either in person or using their online system if available) or your CRC+LPI Check using the MyBackCheck.com system explained below.

If you are unsure, please feel free to contact our office.
Volunteers
Lone Prairie Camp is part of Volunteer Alberta’s VSPN program and therefore many of our volunteer positions are eligible for FREE Criminal Record Checks with Vulnerable Sector Searches. To make use of the VSPN program, please email our office so we can initiate a free CRC on your behalf or provide you with the VSPN information you will need to submit with your CRC application.
Please Note:
- Some volunteer positions (eg. CLT) do NOT qualify for the VSPN program
- Only Albertan stations that routinely charge a fee for volunteer CRCs are aware of the VSPN program
- Some police stations will ask to see your Application Confirmation email from LPC to confirm that you are volunteering.
- Most Edmonton Police Stations will not process Criminal Record Checks. To make use of the VSPN program, please contact our office so we can initiate a free CRC on your behalf or go to the Edmonton “Police Information Check Section (PICS)” with your confirmation email, VSPN position code and 2 pieces of government issued current ID. Location & hours of operation are listed on the PICS website.
