Snack cards are available for purchase in $5 increments. These may be pre-purchased when you fill out your registration forms, or at Registration on the day of camp. We also sell limited edition shirts and hats. Aside from this, from time to time, we may have guests that sell t-shirts or souvenirs that campers sometimes will want to bring a little extra money for. If you wish to send money with them, please remember that they will be responsible for keeping up with their own money. We are also able to accept debit/credit cards safely and securely.

No. All Campers and Junior Staff are asked to turn in their phones/tablets/computers, etc… at Registration. These items are kept in a secure location and are given back on the last day of camp. Multiple electronics lead to distraction throughout the week, and we want to encourage our campers to make personal connections with their peers. In addition, there are risks involved with electronics including water damage, loss or the potential of theft. If your camper needs to reach out, they can come to our Camp Leadership team to call you.

No. We are unable to accommodate your pet at camp. Please make arrangements for your critters while you are at Camp.

During separated swim time, girls are allowed to wear appropriate one-piece bathing suits; while guys are allowed to wear appropriate swim trunks. Both guys and girls need to be fully dressed [shorts & t-shirt] while going to/from the pool. During the Mikveh and after during the pool party, both guys and girls must be properly covered up with a dark t-shirt and shorts.

Safety is our #1 priority. Beginning in 2024, all guests [campers or staff] ages 18+ must complete a background check.

All Camp volunteers/staff are carefully selected through an application process. A Pastoral Reference is required as part of the application process, as well as a complete background check. Many of our volunteers/staff have served at the Camp for many years, and the majority are Youth Pastors/Leaders at their churches.

Junior Staff & Adult Staff registration starts at 12:00 noon. Camper Registration starts at 3pm. Upon your arrival, you will be met at the gate by one of our Security Team members, who will direct you to the cafeteria. Please do not arrive extra early. Cabins are already pre-assigned.

Yourself. All medications must also be turned into the nurse. You can also bring money to purchase limited edition gear, hats, and snack cards at Registration.

Upon arriving at Camp, you will be instructed to a "Zone" where you will drop off your child's luggage. From there, you may park and proceed to the Cafeteria to register. Your luggage will be delivered directly to your cabin. You are welcome to carry any items directly to the cabin yourself. However, no vehicles are allowed in the cabin areas. Take this time to enjoy the casual walk to the cabin.

Due to the limited space and narrow roads leading into the cabin areas, vehicles can become quickly backed up and trapped leading to congestion and delays. If you are staying at camp for the week, once your bags are unloaded, you must park your vehicle for the week at the tabernacle as instructed by our Security Team. You are not allowed to move your vehicle until camp ends. NO EXCEPTIONS.

Please notify our Camp Administrator when you check in on the day of camp if your child/student will need to leave during the week. At the time they are leaving, they must let their Tribe Leader know and must be signed out with the Camp Administrator in the Cafeteria. This is required each time they leave AND return to Camp. DO NOT leave with a child/camper without notifying their Tribe Leader & The Camp Administrator; NO EXCEPTIONS.

We have a registered nurse on staff at the Camp 24 hours a day. If a child/student is sick or significantly injured, you will be notified immediately. Any injuries will be assessed by the nurse and additional medical care will be given if necessary. In addition, we will do our very best to comfort any camper who is showing signs of being homesick. In most cases, getting the child involved with other campers and activities allows them to start enjoying their time at the Camp. If, however, they are not consolable, we will notify the parent/guardian about the best course of action.

Camp ends at 12:00pm on Friday afternoon. Campers can be picked up at the cafeteria.

As you register them, just be sure to indicate that they are attending with your fellowship.

For those churches who will be making payments on behalf of one of multiple students, they may do so by contacting our Camp Administrator at registration@campmashiach.com.
