Missed Camp Days, Leaving Early, Arriving Late
We know that campers sometimes have other obligations during camp hours. As much as possible, devote your child's schedule to camp as they'll receive the greatest benefit by attending all day everyday.
If it is necessary for your child to miss a day of camp, arrive late, or leave early, text the number above (833-241-4107) at least
24 hours in advance.
Provide in your text the name of your child, grade just completed, and what day/time your child will be absent.
Cell Phone Policy
Cell phones may be carried by campers in their backpacks. Camp staff and volunteers will encourage campers to keep their phones in their backpacks throughout the day. Phones are to be used only for emergency situations.
Behavioral Expectations
This is a faith-based day camp, and we expect our campers to treat one another with the understanding that all people are made in the image of God. We expect campers to treat each other responsibly and respectfully. Disrespectful behavior, swearing, and any attempt of violent behavior will not be tolerated.
Health Concerns
If your child(ren) has any health concerns such as allergies, water concerns, sun exposure restrictions, etc. please don't hesitate to let us know! We are here to make sure your kids have a great time and learn about Jesus.
