City Students Summer Camp

What is Summer Camp?

Summer Camp is a high energy, non-stop experience. Camp is the best of what we do on a typical Wednesday (games, worship, teaching, small group discussion) happening all day, along with special camp experiences.

Why does your son / daughter need to come?

We feel it is vital for your son / daughter to leave the comforts of home and participate in an experience that is out of their normal routine and environment. This change from a normal rhythm can create space for God to speak and students to hear in ways that may not be achievable elsewhere. It is also a great time for small group leaders and other students to grow deeper in their relationships with each other. These types of bonds and relationships created at summer camp have the potential to fuel our small groups during the normal school year.

Why is summer camp being held at Camp Eagle Sky?

We are so excited to be heading to Camp Eagle Sky of the Ozarks, located at: 1 Eagle Sky Drive Piedmont, MO 63957 (www.eaglesky.com). Camp Eagle Sky has incredible facilities, beautiful lodging, and awesome activities to choose from. More info on their website.

Middle School - Rising 6th graders through rising 8th graders

High school - Rising 9th graders through graduated seniors

‍

What does the cost of registration cover?

We realize the cost of camp is significant, but we work hard to make it as affordable as possible. Despite our best efforts, some expenses are unavoidable and that is what determines the prices we charge. Costs to put on camp include (but aren’t limited to): charter buses to/from location, food, lodging, activities at the camp, covering the costs of our volunteers, large group game supplies, A/V equipment, marketing/promotion, rental vehicles to transport supplies, programming supplies, t-shirts, etc.

‍

We are using a registration platform called Active Networks that makes the registration process extremely seamless. However, with each registration there is a $5.95 fee that will be charged to utilize this platform. Some exciting features this platform includes are:

• Registering multiple students at a time from one link.
• Selecting a payment plan based on your family’s financial needs.
• Automatic withdrawals of payments.
• The ability to log in and see your balance.

Do I have to pay in full or can I make payments towards the registration cost?

You can actually do either! When registering your student, a $50 deposit is needed to hold your student’s spot. From there, you can choose to make the full payment or select a payment plan.

‍

What forms need to be turned in?

For our summer camp, there are 3 forms that are required to attend: the City Students General Release form, the Camp Eagle Sky Waiver, and the Camp Eagle Sky Medical Release Form. These forms are a part of our online registration process. When you register your student online you will be prompted to include your name for these waivers.

‍

Can my student bring their cell phone to summer camp?

We ask that students leave their phone/technology at home. Our hope is that summer camp is a place where your student can unplug from their normal routine and create a special space for God to show up. The opportunity to silence all the noise creates a chance for meaningful connection to happen with other students, leaders and staff. Our policy is that if we see a student on their phone we reserve the right to take their phone for the remainder of camp.

‍

How do I contact my student at camp if there is an emergency?

Due to very limited cell service, you can call the camp phone at 573.287.3288 and someone from our City Students Staff Team will be notified immediately. Utilizing the City Students Google Voice phone 573.287.3288 or emails below are also a great option. We will be checking our phone/emails frequently.

citystudents@churchofthecity.com for our Franklin Team
citystudentssh@churchofthecity.com for our Spring Hill Team

‍

What time is departure & arrival?

We will have exact times posted and sent in our email communication as we get closer to camp. But our departure is generally around 9am CST on the first day of each camp, and arrival is around 5pm CST on the last day of each camp.

‍

What if I need to cancel?

We totally understand that things come up and last minute changes happen. If you need to cancel your registration, you can do so through Active and we can provide a refund minus the $50 deposit.
