Q: How can I contact my child while at camp?

During the summer of 2008 we are also launching Parent Point which gives parents a peak at what's going on at camp. One feature is an option to e-mail a camper. Visit Parent Point for more information.

Q: Can I get a refund if my child or if someone from my group drops?
A: The deposit of $75.00 is non-refundable. The final balance is due two weeks prior to the arrival date of a student/group. Once that two week period passes, the money is non-refundable. If the amount is paid before the deadline and the child drops before the two week deadline, we will refund the amount paid after the deposit to church, not individuals. The church may then give the refund to the correct individual at their discretion.

Q: What should I expect during the registration process?
A: We want our registration process to be fun and exciting for your group and quick and easy for our group leaders. When you arrive on campus, you will be guided through the property to a specific point to unload the students and adults for a group picture. From there, the group leader (we ask that you only send one person) will be taken to the registration area. There will be signs to follow as we tie up any loose ends. At the end of the registration line, the group leader will receive t-shirts, TAWGS, armbands, and a couple other things needed for the week. From there, the group leader will join his group, be taken to their housing, and have plenty of time to unload all belongings before dinner begins.
