The following are some of the most common questions we receive when parents send their son or daughter to camp. Please feel free to contact the registrar if you have any additional questions not addressed here.
-
We always have professional medical personnel on site. Each week we have a licensed RN or doctor on site serving your camper 24 hours a day. If anything serious were to happen to your child, we would immediately contact you. Also, all junior counselors are lifeguards certified in CPR and first aid.
-
You can reach your child by calling the camp director directly. If you have a need to reach the camp director while your child is with us, you may call the number listed on your registration paper. We do not allow campers to have cell phones due to the distraction—we want to give our campers the best opportunity to develop a relationship with the staff, each other, and God.
-
You can pick up or drop off your camper as needed. We realize there are occasions when your camper might need to arrive later than check-in hours or be picked up before the week is over. We would rather have your camper for a partial week than not at all. Please contact the registrar to make arrangements. Note: We do not give partial discounts for such situations.
-
Yes, all staff and volunteers have been background checked. In addition to ongoing background checks, staff and volunteers must have solid recommendations from their church leadership.
-
Our cooks are able to prepare gluten-free menu items for your child. These special menu items will be similar to the items the rest of the campers are eating throughout the week. With this option available, we ask that you please refrain from sending your child to camp with their own food. Be sure to choose this dietary need option when registering. (additional fee applies).
-
Yes, we limit all candy store purchases. Campers may visit the candy store one to two times each day. Younger campers are limited to two sugary items (drinks, candy bars, etc.) per visit. Older boys are allowed three. Contact the registrar if your camper requires further restrictions.
-
We do not allow campers to have phones, tablets, video games, or any electronic device at camp due to the distraction. There are so many unique and exciting activities at camp that the fun of electronic devices pales in comparison. And our primary goal is that our campers develop a relationship with staff, each other, and God.
-
A packing list for camp can be found in the Camper Information sheets page, and one will also be emailed to you upon registration.
-
Full-week campers arrive on Sunday from 1:00–3:00 p.m. Check out is on Saturday at 10:00 a.m. from the camper’s cabin. For half-week camps, please check the Camper Information sheets page, as those times differ.
-
Yes, you can. Mail call is always a fun time of day. You can let your camper know you are thinking of them by sending mail to the camp address (5300 W. Loveland Rd. Madison, OH 44057) with Attn: "Camper Name".
