Open House – June 15, 2024 from 4:00pm-7:00pm

Come tour the campgrounds, meet the staff, hear about the programs your child will experience.  Children are welcome to join in the fun.  Our bounce house will be blown up and your child will be able to see a cabin like the one they’ll sleep in.  We have found Open House to turn hesitant campers into “I can’t wait to go to camp” kids!  Refreshments will be served.  RSVP HERE!

Whether this is your child’s first visit to camp or they have been here many times, any trip away from home has the potential to produce anxiety in any child. Here are a few suggestions from Christian Camping International that may help get your child ready for camp:

• Talk about the activities they will be doing: swimming, hiking, arts & crafts, boating, ropes course, and sleeping out. Let them know adults are watching over them.
• Send stamped and addressed postcards with your child so he or she can write home.
• Send a letter. Everyone likes to get mail! Keep the contents positive. Be sure to send mail early or the letter will arrive after the child has returned home.
• Sidestep the separation. Focus on the stories your child can tell you after camp. Please do not suggest to your child that he or she can call home if they get homesick. Telephones are not available for the campers, encourage your child to talk to a staff member if they feel homesick. If we are unable to work things out, we will call you. Usually the child is over any homesickness after the first day.
• Celebrate the homecoming. Plan a special dinner for the evening your child returns and make a welcome home sign!

We do not recommend that you plan a visit while your child is attending camp. This is likely to spark homesickness.[clear][/span4] [span4][highlight]Medical Examination[/highlight]A medical form is included in the application package. A licensed physician MUST complete the exam within 12 months prior to camp. A parent or guardian must complete the health history within 90 days prior to camp.

[clear][/span4] [span4][highlight]Emergency Contacts[/highlight] Please be sure that the names and phone numbers for your emergency contacts are correct and in operation. In the event that we cannot reach you, this information becomes extremely important. If you will be out of town during your child’s camp stay, please provide the camp with a phone number where you can be reached.
