What do I do when I arrive at the campsite?
1)VERY IMPORTANT: YOU MUST REMAIN IN YOUR CAR AND STAY ON THE GRAVEL ROAD AT ALL TIMES. Camp Blue Ridge is a non-driving campus, but they are allowing us to drive up to the cabins to drop off luggage for convenience. Please be respectful of this request.
You will enter the Camp Blue Ridge Campground and be greeted by our FC Camp Friends who will give you your cabin assignments and luggage tags.
2)You will then proceed to Jason and Jennifer to turn in phones. Please make sure that they are powered down and ready to be turned in.
3)The next stop will be with Nurse Leanna where you will turn in medications for the week. Medications and directions should be in a baggie with the camper’s name on it. All Over-the-Counter medications are provided by Camp and will not need to be included unless they are specific.
4)Finally you will drive right up to the cabins and drop off luggage and your camper(s). You may get out here to help unload luggage but please be quick, in order to help us keep the line moving.
5) If you would like to get your camper settled in, need to visit the restrooms, or would like to stop by the pouch, you will need to exit the campground, park in one of the parking areas, and walk back up to the cabins. THERE WILL NOT BE ANY AREAS TO PARK INSIDE THE CAMPGROUND.
7) Games with our Camp Friends will begin at 4 pm in the Gym.
What time do I pick up my camper?
Check-out time is Saturday at 10:00 am
What is the dress code?
Campers are to only wear modest clothing. Shorts to the knees and t-shirts with sleeves are recommended for each camper’s daily attire. No one is allowed to wear muscle shirts, thin-shouldered tank tops, spaghetti straps, midriff shirts, or tight clothing. Dark shorts and t-shirts are to be worn over bathing suits at all times during water activities. We do not regard our dress code as the absolute in right or wrong, but as a balanced approach in harmonizing many diverse opinions and one that reflects being a “vessel of God”. Please accept that when you register, you are agreeing to these rules for the week of camp.
Should I label my personal items?
Yes, it is recommended. Sometimes items get misplaced so please clearly label your personal items to help them find their way back home.
Can I bring food to camp?
Yes…however, all proceeds from the pouch go toward FC Scholarships. The procedure as determined by Camp Blue Ridge regarding food is as follows: NO food is to be brought into the cabins. We will honor this request by having each cabin counselor retrieve food items brought to camp and store them in the Pouch during our camp session. Please write your name on any food items brought to camp and secure in a large zip- lock bag. We thank you for your support!
How are cabin assignments determined?
By Age/Grade levels. Experience has taught us that grouping similar maturity levels together helps campers enjoy a less stressful and more positive camping experience. Sharing an environment with peers and a counselor who can relate to a single specific age group eliminates confusion and complements the camping week.
Is there a refund policy?
If a cancellation occurs after March 31st, a $50 fee will be retained. Please understand that if a cancellation occurs after final payments have been made, we will be unable to issue a refund.
If I have a question that has not been answered, whom should I contact?
