Registration Information
or click here to print and mail a registration form Please read Registration Form carefully and fill out all information as it applies. Register as early as possible. The earlier you register, the better your chance to be in your first-choice event. All camps process registrations on a first come/first served basis. Within two weeks of registering you will receive a confirmation. If you don’t, please contact the office. For financial help, talk to your pastor about aid from your local church. For further assistance, your pastor may request a campership form from the appropriate office. If your church is paying a portion of the camp fee, please enclose it with your registration. Camps are available to all regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age or handicap. However, some handicapped individuals may not be able to fully utilize, benefit from, or enjoy certain camp programs or facilities. We would like to partner with you to assure that your child’s, or your, week at camp is a positive experience. If your child has a special need that may affect his/her camp experience, please contact the appropriate office before registering. Camper fees cover lodging, meals, supplemental accident insurance, staff, program expenses, and in most cases T-shirt and camp photo. No personal property is insured. Please do not bring valuables to camp. Illness needing medical treatment will be the responsibility of your family. Cancellation and Fee Policy: A $75 non-refundable deposit will hold your place in camp, if you register before May 1. Remaining fees are due, in full by May 15. Campers whose balances are not paid in full by May 15 may be removed from the event. Registrations received after May 1 require full payment to be processed.Registrations are accepted until two weeks before the event starts, or the event is full, which ever comes first. If registering by fax or on-line you must pay in full with a credit card. Checks returned for non-sufficient funds will be assessed a $25 charge. Cancellations requested in writing 2 or more weeks before event begins will be refunded all camp fees, except the $75 deposit. No refunds are available for cancellations received two weeks or less before event begins; all payments and credits will be forfeited. Campers who are sent home because of their behavior receive no refund. Should the event be cancelled by Outdoor and Retreat Ministries, and you cannot reschedule, all camp fees will be refunded.
