Cell phones and electronic devices are not permitted at camp. We strive to create an atmosphere that will allow students to focus on God's Word and make great friends. By removing these devices, students better engage with teaching and with one another. In case of emergency, parents/guardians will be able to reach the Camp Office to communicate with the student.

No, food, snacks, and candy from home is not allowed. This is for the safety of the other campers. If there are any dietary restrictions, please note them on the camper application and we will communicate with you concerning this.

Homesickness is a common occurrence at overnight camps. Ironically the younger students often do better than the older. The best cure for homesickness is to be active and make friends. Throughout the day our staff work hard to build relationships with the campers to help combat the homesick feeling, but sometimes homesickness can't be overcome. The camper can always call one of their contacts on their application, and if needed, can be picked up.

We do not allow visitors or have visitation hours due to the safety of the rest of the camp, staff, and campers. This also helps with children not missing home. 

Absolutely! We’re out at camp all the time and we’re happy to set up a time to give you and your family a tour. Just contact Tim or Vivian (via the form below) and we’ll set up a time to bring your potential camper(s) and let them check all there is awaiting them this summer.
