Camp is right around the corner, July 29th - August 2nd, at Cornerstone Conference Center. If your child is six years of age or older, make plans now for him/her to attend. Children younger than six years of age MUST be accompanied by an adult/parent/guardian at all times. In this packet, you will be asked to designate who may pick up your child. Campers may be dropped off from 1:00-2:00pm on July 29th at the camp. On the last day of camp, August 2nd, all campers will be checked out through their Counselor at 10:00 a.m. This procedure helps us to ensure that all children are released to the correct persons. We are also asking campers to leave all games, toys, and audio/visual devices at home (iPads, iPods, cell phones, etc.). There are two reasons for this; first, we do not want any valued possessions lost at camp, and second, we do not want our campers distracted from the purpose of camp. Absolutely NO CELL PHONES will be allowed for campers/youth. All campers’ personal belongings will be inspected at check-in. Anything deemed unnecessary will be withheld and returned to them at the end of the week. Pranks of any kind of prohibited. Failure to follow the no prank guidelines may result in dismissal from camp. The price of camp ($150.00) is non-refundable. Cornerstone Conference Center, where camp will take place, is set in a natural environment. If your child is allergic to the sun or is severely allergic to dust or grass, he/she may not be able to fully participate in camp activities. You may want to consult your child’s physician for advice. Also, any child who is taking medications must be able to self-administer their medications. If unable to do so, there should be a responsible adult to accompany the child, and the adult must have written permission to assist that child. (Written note should be placed with the child’s folder upon arrival at camp.) As you pack for camp, remember that while the days are rather warm, the evenings tend to be cool. We would recommend packing a sweatshirt or warm pajamas. We also have a dress code that all campers must abide by. Women/girls/teens are to wear shirts and skirts/dresses below the knee and MUST be modest in nature (i.e. length and size), at all times while outside their cabin/dormitory. No sleeveless dresses/shirts or tank tops. Men/boys/teens MUST wear pants and a shirt at all times while outside their cabin/dormitory. No clothing with obscene gestures or slogans will be allowed. Campers will be allowed to wear knee-length shorts/swim trunks while participating in the lake activities. We are anticipating a great year! Feel free to call the church office if you have any questions about the camp.
