We strive to maintain a safe, supportive, and Christ-centered camping environment. In order to ensure this environment, campers who are registered for four or more weeks will be evaluated after their second week of camp with the intention of ensuring that both the camp and camper’s needs are being met. Parents, or guardians, will be informed of the child’s progress and whether or not further action may be required.

If a camper’s behavior cannot be accommodated at our camp, the parent’s will be notified of their dismissal and a refund will be issued for any unused weeks of camp.

Passports are required for all campers who are not US citizens. Upon arrival your camper should give these documents to the camp office for secure storage.

Should the need arise, a parent or guardian must be able to reach the camp property within 48 hours. If this is not possible a secondary contact is to be designated to do so.
