MMXXV

Parent Pack

Dear Parents,

We are so excited for camp this July! As a team, we are preparing and praying, and know it is going to be a life-changing week for your student.

We have put together some information for you and your student in preparation for camp. We have included everything from packing lists to campground details. If you have any questions at all, you are welcome to reach out.

We are excited for all God has in store for our time together!

Sincerely,
Josh and Kayla Henry
Youth Pastors

General Camp Ground Information

Where

Camp will take place at Carolina Point in Brevard, NC. The campground is 5 hours away with a 1 hour time change. It is a beautiful Youth Life campground tucked into the mountains and surrounded by beautiful nature. Here is a link to the campground website.

Cabins

Students will be placed in cabins with their grade level leaders and other students of the same gender close to their age. If your student is new, we are creating intentional time for them to meet their cabin mates and get to know leaders. They are going to love it!

Leaders

Students will always be accompanied by leaders when moving around the campground, and we have flashlights and golf carts on hand if needed.

Safety

For any water related activities, there are lifeguards on duty and life jackets provided. We will also have a camp nurse who will be with us all week. If there are any injuries, we have every student’s emergency contact information and parents will be contacted so that a plan will be put into place (go to hospital, receive medication etc). We do everything possible to create a safe and enjoyable camp experience. The expectation is that nobody would get hurt, but we always want to have a plan just in case.

Money

Carolina Point has a snack bar, coffee bar and store on site that will be open throughout the week. They take card and cash. If you would like your student to have access to either of these amenities, please send them with additional money for purchases. This is beyond all camp meals, which are included in registration.

Drop-off & Pick-up instructions

Nashville Location // The Belonging Co Parking Lot
Franklin Location // AMC Cool Springs Parking Lot

We will be taking buses to and from camp! During registration, students were asked to select a drop off and pick up location. Please do not switch locations without communicating to us. It is important that we send the right amount of buses to each location. More details on drop off protocol will be sent via email.

Medication

If your student is bringing medication to camp, our camp nurse will connect with you before we leave on the 27th. You can expect a phone call from her. If you have any questions or would like Bonnie to hold onto your student’s medication throughout camp, please communicate that to her in advance. Bonnie will connect with cabin leaders to ensure adults are aware of any medication needs throughout the week.

Cell Phone Policy

Our goal at camp is that every student is able to disconnect from daily life and be fully present for what God is doing in our midst. With that, we have a firm cell phone policy for the few days we are away. Please read carefully.

We highly encourage you to not send your students with a phone. If students do bring a phone, we will be keeping them in a secure lockbox in every grade level cabin that leaders have access to.

Phones will be allowed during afternoon free time each day only and accessible by asking a leader to retrieve the phone. We understand that taking pictures and capturing memories is important, and we want to create space for that to happen. Phones must be turned back in before dinner. There will be absolutely no phones during cabin time or sessions and if students are caught with phones outside of the allotted window, we will respectfully take them away for the remainder of camp.

Parents will have access to our youth pastor’s phone numbers, as well as all of the contact information for the camp, in case of emergency. We highly encourage parents to talk to their students about these restrictions before coming to camp, so that it can be a great experience for everyone.

Contact Info

Your student will/can have their phones during allocated hours (mentioned above). If you need to urgently get a hold of someone at camp, leaders will have their phones at all times and will be available all week. Below are our youth team’s phone numbers that you can store.

Ana Broadhead: 615-426-8740
Lexi Sweeney: 563-449-6377
Josh Henry: 281-782-8332
Kayla Henry: 281-772-3179

If you have any medical related questions throughout the week, you are welcome to reach out to our camp nurse, Bonnie Hamrick. Her number is: 615-681-6117
