• Careful with Precious Items: We encourage families not to send them to camp with something so valuable. If you'd be heartbroken if it came home damaged or didn't come home at all, keep it at home.
• DON'T OVERPACK- They're gone for 2 days, they shouldn't have more stuff than they can carry.
• Put your name on all your belongings. (sharpie marker on the tag)
• Note on Cell Phones: Students can bring their phones with them to call home on the way to camp and on the way home. The camp has a no phone policy so if the phone is a distraction in camp, it will be confiscated.

The church owns Buses and we have a driver with special training and state license that drives the bus.

How are cabin assignments made?
If a student is new, and knows one or two people, we are always sure that they are in a cabin with the person they came with. It is impossible to be sure that everyone is in their perfect cabin, but we do our best. Simply put the name on the Camper Registration form.
