Who comes to camp?
Campers must be 18 or older before camp begins and must be able to take care of basic personal hygiene, like going to the restroom, showering, and dressing. All campers must be approved by Rev. Jamie Brame, Church Relations Director (after June 1, also by Tessa Everton, Summer Camp Director). Special needs are to be discussed with the Directors before the camper arrives at camp. Because the camp is not run by professional caregivers, it is important that we follow these guidelines when accepting campers.

Safety
Safety is an issue for all Christmount camps, but most especially when special needs are involved. Campers are supervised 24 hours a day with no more than a 3 campers to 1 camp staff ratio (with this camp, it is usually more like a 2 – 1 ratio, but never more than 3 – 1, and only then with very high-functioning campers).

Medicine
Medicine is received from the campers at registration when arriving at camp. Medicine is locked up and only two staff will have access to the meds. Records will be kept for you if required. We prefer that all medicine be brought to camp in a large plastic baggie with the camper’s name on the bag. We will provide a baggie if one is not available. Meds are distributed at breakfast, lunch, supper, and bedtime, as well as other times that are required. Applications, like eye drops or special ointments, are also applied during these times.

Activities
Singing, dancing, movies, swimming, short hikes, devotional times, worship, bonfires, crafts, games, softball, volleyball, puzzles, talent show, and other activities.
