Check-Out Procedures
Closing Program or Devotion & Check-Out Time - 4:00 pm
Campers will be packed and ready to check-out by 3:30pm. You may sign them out anytime after this. A closing program starts at 4pm on the last day of camp (normally Friday) for all of the camps except as noted below. If you need to pick your camper up early, simply call the office or let us know at registration.
Regular 3-8th Grade Full-Week Camps
You & your family are invited to a closing program on the last day of camp at 4:00 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 songs). 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.
Parent/Child Camp, High School Camp & Joyful Hearts
Although there is no closing program, there is usually a closing devotion followed by the opening of the Trading Post.
Going Back Home
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 & Joyful Hearts
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.
