“Wake up! Strengthen what remains”
We’re welcoming campers for the summer of 2025. This year’s theme is, “Wake up! Strengthen what remains” (Revelation 3:2). Join us this summer and learn more about God’s good plan for you.
Read on for more information about camps, packing, rules, and registration.
Why Should Your Kids Go To Camp?
We believe that there are moral and spiritual benefits when your child comes to CHC. In daily life, your child is constantly bombarded by influences that affect their decision-making process, and many of these influences are not good or safe for your child. At CHC, your child will be surrounded by strong and good influences such as godly and fun music, morally strong staff with integrity, and biblical teachings for today.
This simply means that in a culture that says there is no truth or real direction, and everybody is out for themselves, it is increasingly difficult for young people to know how to identify and resist the poor influences they receive. With God’s help and the things that they will learn at CHC, each child will have available the tools they will need to make better decisions… decisions that follow God’s design to give us a full life, not a life of regrets.
- No smoking.
- No one is allowed to ring the bell without permission, as this is our main means of communications in normal and emergency situations.
- Campers are to be within sight, sound, or knowledge or their counselor at all times.
- Once assigned to a cabin, the camper is not allowed in any other cabin.
- A general respect of camp property and other campers is expected.
- Do not bring cell phones or other electronics, such as iPods, games, etc.
- Rules of Christian conduct are to be practiced at all times (i.e. treat others as you want to be treated).
- Other week-specific rules will be reviewed upon arrival.
Please review these rules before arriving. Campers who cannot abide by camp rules will be sent home at their parents’ expense. No refund will be issued.
CHC is not responsible for lost or stolen items.
We discourage phone calls from parents. Due to our busy schedule, campers with calls miss out on important doings, and calls can induce homesickness in those who would otherwise be fine. Thanks.
At CHC we strive to provide a safe and fun environment.
Your privacy is very important to us.
CHC is committed to keep your family’s personal and health information safe and confidential. We review and revise policies and procedures to further protect the privacy of your information.
What type of information is collected?
To provide quality care at camp we collect both personal and health information such as campers’ date of birth, address, email address, and health conditions.
How is this information used?
The information that we collect from you is used:
- to care for the health of campers while they are at CHC
- to administer medicine as necessary
- to provide appropriate (and delicious!) food to campers
- to comply with legal requirements
Do we share your information with anyone?
CHC may need to share the information with healthcare providers in case care is required beyond the scope of camp equipment or staff.
What about photos and videos of campers?
We take lots of photos and videos at CHC. We often use our photos and videos in our newsletter and on our website. If you would prefer that your child not be featured in these or other CHC materials, just let us know. We will never use images of your child for anything other than CHC-related materials.
