Welcome Parents

Account Payment
Q: When is payment due?
A: All accounts must be paid in full at least two weeks prior to arrival at camp. A late fee of $50 will be charged if account is not paid in full two weeks prior to arrival at camp.

Afternoon Activities
Q: Why does the registration process ask to pick 2 classes instead of 5?
A: The reason our afternoon activity selection has changed is to allow for a cabin group Bible study during one session during the afternoon. Cabins will be put on an alternating schedule to have first selection of afternoon activities. Each cabin does not have to stay together as a unit in the activities, each person in the cabin can select their preference of activities.

We hope that the kids that come to our camp will be able to experience more things/activities and be able to meet different friends in the sessions.

Arrival & Departure
Q: When should campers arrive?
A: Campers should arrive and check in at 3 PM on Sunday. Please have ALL FORMS COMPLETED before your arrival at camp. Please have them ready to hand to the registration staff.

Q: When should campers leave?
A: Campers are expected to leave by 9 AM on Sunday morning. Parents will receive a $20 refund of camper deposit fees if their child is picked up on time-by 9 AM Sunday morning. Parents arriving after 9 AM will not receive this refund.
