Camper Information

Important Details

CHECK IN (ARRIVING): Campers will check in on July 13 and 20, from 2:00–4:00 pm. Campers may not check in before this time. 

CHECK OUT (DEPARTING): Camper checkout will be on July 20 and 27 from 10:00–11:30 am.

CLASSES: Class registration is expected to open about a month prior to camp. Those who registered for camp first will have the option to choose classes first (i.e. receive class registration codes and will be able to complete online class registration).

FOOD: Tasty, nondairy vegetarian meals will be provided. If you need gluten-free meals, please mark that on your application.

FINANCIAL: The camp fee of $450 covers meals, lodging, airport pickup/dropoff, camp activities, and most class options. An application deposit of $50 is due at the time of application, and is deducted from the balance due. The application deposit is non-refundable. A $25 discount per camper per week is applied if a parent/guardian will be serving as a staff volunteer. Limited needs-based financial aid may be available. Please contact the camp office for more information. 

FLIGHT INFORMATION: Begin looking for discount airfares starting in the late winter or early spring. Check sites such as kayak.com and southwest.com for sales. Please be sure your application has been accepted prior to finalizing travel plans.

LODGING: Enjoy a real camping experience! Lodging will be in cabin tents or simple wood cabins.

PHONES/ELECTRONICS: We believe that camp should be a place to make friends, enjoy nature, and learn about God. To best achieve these goals, camp policy requires that cell phones, games, computers, ipods, tablets, smart watches, headphones, media players, etc., be left at home or checked into camp customs for safekeeping. Campers needing to place approved calls (i.e. family emergency), may do so in the camp office under the guidance of their counselor. Parents are encouraged to send messages to their children via mail or email.

TRANSPORTATION: Bus service from/to Spokane International Airport is available for campers arriving by 2:30 pm on Sunday, July 13 or 20, and flying out after 1:00 pm on Sunday, July 20 or 27. The camp cannot provide pickup/drop-off service outside of these times without prior authorization.

STAFF: Staff are carefully selected based on their commitment to the Lord, high Christian standards, abilities, and love for young people. A high staff-to-camper ratio is maintained.

VOLUNTEERS/PARENTS: Staff volunteers are vital to the camp program! Service positions are available in a number of areas, and especially for food preparation. If you know of someone that may be able to serve, please contact the YD office or have them complete a staff volunteer application. Unfortunately we are unable to offer meals and lodging for non-staff parents or family members.

WELLNESS: Medical staff will be stationed on campus and EMT's and a medical clinic are just a few minutes away in Inchelium.
