DEAR PARENTS,
WE UNDERSTAND! It can be hard to send your kids to camp. Most of our year-round staff members are parents, so we completely understand that sending your child to camp is a huge decision and we take our responsibility very seriously.
We don’t want anything to distract from the opportunity your child has to learn about Jesus in a fun environment, so taking care of your child’s needs is the motivating factor behind everything that we do.

YOUTH CAMP FAQS
If you register online, you’ll receive a confirmation email with additional information attached. No need to wait for anything to come in the mail. If you register by mail, you can select to have your forms e-mailed or mailed to you. Please allow up to 4 weeks to receive your confirmation.
If you DO NOT receive a confirmation, please contact our Camp Registrar to confirm that we received your registration.
Your child can request up to two roommates. There is an area to request roommates on the registration form. We do our best to honor ALL roommate requests, but if more than 3 people all request to be together, they may be split up.
We can accommodate most allergies and dietary restrictions. We can prepare alternatives, but many parents choose to send alternatives that they know their child enjoys. If you would like to discuss your child's dietary needs, please email us.
If your child isn’t ready for an overnight camp, don’t worry! No matter which camp you choose, a camper can choose to go home each night and come back each morning. Parents will need to sign their child out each night at 9 PM and drop him or her off by 8:30 AM. Register your child, and then contact our office to let us know that he or she isn’t planning to stay the night. We do keep a bed for each registered camper for the afternoon quiet time, and in case he changes his mind about staying.
Deposits are non-refundable but are transferable to a new, non-registered camper providing a two-week cancellation notice is given. Day Camp fees can be transferred 100% to another Day Camp for the same camper, or 75% can be refunded if 48 hours notice is given.
