FAQS

  • Yes, but dogs must stay on a leash or in a crate at all times for their safety. Owners are responsible for all cleanup and any damages, and must properly dispose of all pet waste.

  • Yes, but WiFi can be spotty. We encourage everyone—especially our younger campers—to unplug and connect with God’s creation instead of screens.

  • Fire bans in Colorado can change daily. We'll check conditions while at camp and follow all local regulations to keep everyone safe.

  • No, we offer activities as a way to worship together outside of our normal routine. Our desire is that you have the opportunity to do things that draw you closer to God and to your church family.

  • Please plan on pitching in for camp clean-up on Sunday morning. Many hands make light work!

  • We appreciate any donations to help cover the cost of hosting this event. Give using this link or at any regular church service in the offering box (please mark your donation as “campout”).
