Frequently Asked Questions

::  How are Cabin Assignments made?

For the best camping experience, campers will be assigned to their cabin based on their selection of camp, and appropriate grade completed as of summer 2012. Campers may request one cabin mate within one grade of the camper.

::  When does the week begin and end?

Registration for all campers is held in the Dining Hall from 3:00-4:00 pm on the first day. Early registration will not be permitted, as our staff will be busy preparing for an energized week of camp – We will begin promptly at 3:00pm.

To close most weeks parents are invited to join us for a concluding worship service that will begin at 6:30 p.m. on Friday in celebration of our week at camp. During Special Needs, Genesis, Little Ones and Loved Ones and Last Blast Camp, however, we will close with a picnic and worship service which parents are invited to join us for at 5:30pm on the last day of the session.

::  Can you accommodate special dietary needs?

Yes. Every week we have campers who are vegetarian, lactose intolerant, and have other dietary restrictions. Our menu provides plenty of choices at each meal. Please contact our Food Service Director to discuss your camper’s dietary restrictions.
