Check-Out Procedures
Mini-Camps & Full-Week Camps (except High School Week)
You & your
family are invited to a closing program on the last day of camp at 2:30 pm.
The closing program will be held at the outdoor chapel (past the basketball
court towards the lake) where we will introduce the staff, have a closing
skit/devotion, and have the campers sing some of their favorite new songs).
Afterwards, parents will need to sign-out with their child's counselor. Be
sure to pick-up left-over Trading Post money, medicine, and a camp photo.
High School Camp, Parent/Child Camps, Family Camps, & Special Needs Camps
Although
there is no closing program, there is usually a closing devotion followed by the
opening of the Trading Post.
Going Back Home
Mini-Camps & Full-Week Camps
When camp
is over, kids are usually excited to see their parents although many don't want
their camp experience to end. Be prepared to listen to your child. He/She will
probably have lots to tell you. Coming for the closing program will give your
child a good opportunity to introduce you to his/her new camper & staff friends.
The ride home is usually a good time to visit unless they are so tired they fall
asleep! Keep the radio off & spend time updating each other on the time spent
apart. Help your child ease into the regular routine & do something special to
help them feel loved & let them know they were missed. Camp is a place for kids
to learn & grow in their faith. Encourage them in any positive changes they may
want to make in their lives. You may want to have them write a "thank you" note
to their counselor.
Parent/Child Camps, Family Camps, & Special Needs Camps
Make sure
to spend time with any family members who may not have been together during this
camp session. Spend time getting caught up with each other and make sure
to listen as well as sharing your own adventures. Ease into the regular
routines and be sure to remember the things you learned at camp and how your
faith may have been strengthened.
