CAMPERSHIPS
(financial aid for camp)
Because the
people of the Camp & Retreat Ministries are dedicated to providing
Christian hospitality and learning to all persons, we believe no
one should be turned away from camp due to financial need. The Camp
and Retreat Ministry's campership fund is available to families
facing financial stress.
For those seeking assistance, application should be made early,
as funds are limited. We appreciate those who make this fund possible
through their donations.
We also encourage campers or parents to contact a local United Methodist
or Episcopal church or other local organizations that may provide assistance
to help get children to camp.
Click
here to print the campership form. If you need financial assistance,
print it out, fill it out, and send it in with your registration
form.
Ask
for special rate plan consideration for your family if you face
special circumstances.
We certainly want you to come to camp!
If
you would like to make a donation to the Campership-Joy Fund which
makes it possible for the camping program to provide these camperships,
please click here or contact Susan in the Camping Office.

ROOMMATE
REQUESTS
A camper, if
he or she chooses, may make one roommate request on the registration
form. The request must be mutual, and only one roommate request
per camper will be recorded. We will honor roommate requests as
space and program requirements allow.

CAMPER
LETTERS
After the registration
form and deposit are received, each camper will be mailed a letter
confirming the registration, along with and account statement showing
the balance (if any) due.
A few weeks
before the start of the event, each camper will receive a packet
that includes:
- A letter
regarding your event with check-in information and a list of
what to bring.
- Health
form will be included in the packet sent to campers. (There
are separate forms for children/youth and adults. Either form
can be downloaded from the top of this page if you need additional
copies.) These forms need to be mailed to the camp at least
10 days before camp starts.
- For children's
camps, there will be an "About Me" sheet to be returned
to the camp with the health form. (Also available by downloading
at the top of this page.)
- A map
with directions to the camp and the camp policies.

CANCELLATION
POLICY
If we should
cancel your event, we will help you select another event. If another
selection will not work for you, you will receive a full refund.
Register early to help avoid cancellations due to low enrollments!
If you cancel
your registration to an event, you will receive your money back
less the amount of the deposit. Many of our events fill and have
waiting lists. The earlier you let us know about cancellations,
the more likely it is that another camper can fill the vacancy.

INSURANCE
Insurance coverage
for accidental injury or death and certain illnesses is provided
for each camper and is included in the camp fee. Parents are expected
to assume responsibility for all medical bills not covered by conference
United Methodist or the Episcopal Diocese of Oregon summer camp insurance. There is no deductible.
