Top 10 Things you need to Know about Camp:
- Campers are encouraged to attend as many age applicable weeks as they wish.
- The Cost for your week of camp includes the camp program, loding, 8x10 picture, & camp T-shirt. Extra money is needed to pay for canteen debit accounts (cash will not be accepted at canteen this year) during Sunday Registration and for daily missions offering.
- Early Bird Discounts: Mail your registration form and deposit postmarked to HMCA by May 20, 2008 and receive our early bird discounts! $20 for full weeks; $10 off half weeks and wilderness camps. Register for all 3 day camps and save $25, basically the 3rd one is FREE if you sign up for them all!
- Pre-register: Campers who register before their week of camp will be rewarded by being first in line on Sunday, will receive 1st choice of bunks, and be guaranteed the correct T-shirt size. Our max campers per week is 110, so register early!
- Sunday Registration runs from 3:00 - 5:00 p.m. Pre-registered campers will be registered first. Dorms will not open before 3:00 and you must register before our staff can allow you into the dorms.
- Walk-On's: Starting at 4:00 p.m. we will accept walk-on's as there is space available. We cannot guarantee or save bunks until our pre-registered campers are registered.
- Pickup times: for campers will be at 12:00 p.m. on Wed. for half weeks and 12:00 p.m. Friday for full weeks of camp.
- Mail: You may send mail to your camper, but please no phone calls or emails. Please send mail early in your child?s week to guarantee delivery before they leave.
- Visitor Policy: HMCA encourages visitors to be the exception rather than the rule during camp. They cause major distractions to campers and most times cause more harm than good. If you must visit, for the safety of all our campers, please follow the camp visitor policy and sign in at the office.
- Volunteers: If you would like to help during summer camp as a counselor, teacher, or kitchen volunteer, you MUST contact the camp before your week of camp to check on availability and need at least 4 weeks before their week of camp. All volunteers working with children will be required to allow a background check and fill out a volunteer application.
