What is the phone policy?
We want students to be fully present, build meaningful friendships, and experience everything God has for them without the distractions of their phones. We encourage students to leave their phones at home and enjoy camp distraction-free.
If you bring your phone, it will be collected by our leadership team upon arrival and securely stored for the duration of camp. Phones will be returned to students on the way home. Students will not have access to their phones during camp. If a student or parent needs to communicate during camp, they can contact the designated camp leadership team.
Can adults help serve?
Yes! Our production team needs help loading in and setting up on night one, and running production on Friday and Saturday. Reach out to Daniel Winningham to get involved.
Still have a question?
