It’s the 21st century, how come there’s no online registration? There are numerous obstacles that we have not been able to overcome to offer online registration and none of these issues are tech-related.  Because students are placed in our care for 5 days, we are required to obtain signed registration forms for legal, liability and medical purposes (Alexandria clinics and hospitals require a signed copy of consent).  Even though online registration would be convenient, the well-being of students is well worth the time it takes to mail a registration form.

What are the ages for camps? Jr. Teen Camps = going into 7th – 9th grade, Sr. Teen Camps = going into 10th – 12th grade.

Do you have multiple-child discounts? No, not at this time. We suggest you look into the Lake Geneva Partial Camp Scholarship if you need financial help.

Are there any scholarships available? Lake Geneva Camp does offer a partial $50 scholarship for eligible campers. You can download an application form under the “forms” tab. Applications must be submitted by May 29, 2010 and will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis. You may also want to check with your local church or county office to see if they have any scholarship programs as well.

When will registration forms be available? Registration forms are now available to print online under the “forms” tab. If you’ve attended a camp within the last four years, you will automatically be mailed a form.

What should a camper bring to camp? Sleeping bag and/or sheets & pillow, jacket, extra shoes, towels, soap, shampoo, toothpaste/brush, spending money, notebook, Bible, flashlight, and other personal care items.

How much spending money should a camper bring? There isn’t a round figure to recommend, but we can tell you what money might be used for at camp. T-shirts and Camp DVDs are sold in the camp office. The Oasis snack shop will be open with snacks, burgers, ice cream, pizza, etc. and Geneva Java will be open selling coffee. There will also be a missions offering during Thursday chapel. It is strongly recommended that campers store their money in the camp office bank for safekeeping. They can withdraw money from the bank anytime the camp office is open.

What should a camper NOT bring to camp? iPod, mp3 or CD player, CDs/DVDs, TV, tobacco, shaving cream (gel only), video games, firearms/fireworks, radio, expensive jewelry, illegal drugs, knives/weapons, water guns/balloons, video cameras, cell phones.

A camper has a sporting event or game during camp, can they leave and return? Yes. Please provide a parent-signed note with the camper’s registration form with the details of the departure. The camper will need to check out and back in with the camp office, head counselors, or night watch staff. Parents should expect to present ID to staff as well.

What happens at camp? A typical day at camp begins with breakfast followed by morning rec time and then morning chapel and small groups. After lunch there is an organized team event followed by free time and dinner. After dinner comes the evening service followed by a brief period of free time and lights out.

What activities are available for campers? The camp has a beach, canoes, paddle boats, swim area, blob, trampoline, floating iceberg, ball field, skatepark, video games, basketball courts, frisbee golf, horseshoes, full gym with climbing wall and volleyball, and more!

When is arrival and departure time for camp? Registration begins on Monday at 10am. Dismissal is Friday at noon.

Is a camper allowed to drive to camp themselves? Yes. As long as the camper has permission from their parents. When they arrive at camp on Monday, they need to park in the designated parking area and turn their keys into the camp office for safekeeping.

I’m already 18, do my parents still need to sign the registration form? Yes. Chances are you’re still under your parent’s medical insurance and a signature is required in the event of a medical emergency.

I just graduated from High School in 2010, can I still go to camp? Yes! You can attend one last time.
