When and where is camp check-in? 

Check-in begins at 4 pm; however, due to the number of churches and campers, we will stagger check-in times, so be sure to check your email for more information. 

What is the sponsor/student ratio? 

We require a 10:1 ratio. If you bring 10 girls, you will need one female sponsor. If you bring 11 girls, you MUST bring two female sponsors. The same is required with the boy campers and male sponsors. 

Is the deposit deducted from the total amount due?

 Yes. After you send the $100 deposit it will be applied to your total amount due during camp check-in. You will need to bring a check with the remaining balance with you to camp. 

What if my child has special dietary needs? 

Download and complete the form located on the Camp Forms page, then it will need to be sent to Latham Springs at least 2 weeks before camp. Please reach out to your Church Representative for further assistance if needed. 

Will I be leading a bible study for my church group? 

Yes. You will receive a camp handbook with Bible Study lessons. Your church group will be assigned a designated sport for your group and will meet a the time listed in your camp schedule in your workbook and on the back of your camp name tag. Curriculum will be sent to you closer to the start of camp and detailed video walkthroughs of the curriculum will be placed on the Counselor page.

Yes. We recommend wearing clothes that you can get dirty during Rec Time. We also recommend that you bring more than one set of clothes per day. 

Do students need to bring money to camp? 

It is not required, but there will be several opportunities for students to purchase items if they would like. There will be a snack bar available in the afternoons and in the evening. Latham Springs also has a gift shop that will be open in the afternoons and usually right after dinner. Bazooka Ball is the only activity that is an extra charge. 

What activities are available at Latham Springs? 

Latham Springs has many activities available during the afternoon free time. The lake and pool are both available. We have several waterfront activities, including a 100' waterslide, giat trampoline, 17' inflatable climbing wall, as wall as paddle boats, paddleboards, kayaks, canoes, and a fishing shed where poles and bait are provided. Life jackets are required for all lake activities other than fishing.

What forms do I need to complete before camp? 

All forms that are needed before the start of camp can be found on the Camp Form page. 

Can students bring cell phones/electronics to camp? 

We do not recommend bringing any expensive personal items to camp. Reception on the campgrounds is very splotchy, and the signal is inconsistent. All sponsors will have cell phones in case of emergency. 

What do students need to bring to camp? 

Bible, toiletries, towels, bedding for a twin-size bunk bed, clothes (at least two sets of clothes per day), swimsuits, comfortable shoes, etc. You can find a full list here.

What is the dress code? 

Dress at camp should meet the highest Christian standards. Campers with clothing that is too revealing, with inappropriate messages, or draw unnecessary attention will be asked to change into appropriate clothing. Please adhere to the following examples: 

• Wearing cover-ups to and from the lake. (Boys & Girls)

• Restrict tank tops to 2 fingertip width minimum- no spaghetti strap garments. 

• Keep shorts at fingertip length. 

• Do not wear low-cut or revealing shirts, dresses, or tops. (Boys & Girls)

• Two-piece swimsuits should be covered with a dark Tshirt even in the water. 

• For personal safety, shoes should be worn outdoors at all times. 

Will there be photos available for parents to view throughout the week of camp? 

As mentioned previously, the signal on the campgrounds is terrible. Sponsors/Church representatives will try to send as many photos as possible.
