We are monitoring the current situation as it relates to Summer Camp and are continuing to assess information as it is made available. We are working closely with our Church leadership, the camp facility, government officials and CDC recommendations in our decision making process and will have decisions in regards to camp on or before May 15th.
While we are not expecting this to impact those dates and our ability to have Summer Camp, we are developing a contingency plan for the possibility of needing to cancel Camp if things do not change by the summer. We will post additional information as it becomes available here in the FAQs and through parent emails to those who have registered. For updates on how Seacoast is responding to COVID-19, please visit seacoast.org/health.

Yes! Students who are graduating high school in May will be able to attend Summer Camp. There is an option to register as a graduating senior.

Yes! Rising 6th graders are able to attend our Middle School Camp.

If your student has special needs and you are interested in sending them to Camp, please email us at summercamp@seacoast.org before registering your student. We would love to talk to you so we can see if we are able to accommodate your student. Where we work to make camp an environment that all students can experience and enjoy, Camp is not always able to accommodate students who need one-on-one assistance, have extreme dietary restrictions, and have certain disabilities.

Right here! As we get closer to Camp, we will post a parent video, information packet and departure information on our site. If you have any more questions, you can always email us at summercamp@seacoast.org and we will be in touch.

No cell phones, iPads, laptops, or digital devices are allowed at camp. We want Summer Camp to be a distraction-free week for students, and few things distract students as much as their phones. Over the years, we’ve found that taking students out of their regular routine opens them up to hear from Jesus in ways they haven’t before. Before we leave for camp, we will give you a contact number for emergencies only. All of our leaders will have cell phones so that will have access to a phone if they need to reach you.

If we have an issue with your student breaking the rules or any other behavioral issues, you will be contacted and will need to come pick up your student. This will be handled on a case-by-case basis depending on the rules that are broken.
– Respect the people, respect the place
– No romantic displays of affection
– Be on time for all services and activities

Yes. This year a deposit option of $200 is available through April 15. The remaining balance must be paid in full by June 1. If the balance is NOT paid in full, your students spot will no longer be held as of June 2. Please remember if using this option, Camp is non-refundable.

One reason we opened registration early was to make it easier for families to send their students to Summer Camp by spreading the cost over several months. If you know you won’t be able to afford Summer Camp, even with a payment plan, you may be eligible for financial assistance. Financial assistance is available on a first-come, first-serve basis. We never want cost to be the reason a student can’t attend Camp and we want to help.
NOTE: At this time, due to the number of students on the wait list for scholarship and the current coronavirus situation, we cannot accept any new scholarship applications. As we continue to monitor this situation and as donations to the scholarship fund resume, we will apply scholarship money to those on the wait list and will re-open the scholarship application link if we believe there will be additional funds for us to be able to award. Please check here in the future for updates.

No. After signing up for Summer Camp, your money is non-refundable. You may transfer your spot to someone else until June 15, 2020.
NOTE: We are continuing to monitor the coronavirus situation and will make a final decision on Summer Camp by May 15. We are developing a contingency plan for the possibility of needing to cancel Camp if things do not change by the summer and will have more information soon on what that means to current registrations. Thanks for your patience while we work hard to figure out the details.

We will have snacks and souvenirs available for purchase. While it is not necessary to send additional money, we recommend $50 for the week.

There will be an emergency phone line for you to call and get in contact with your student. If will be sent to you as part of the virtual parent meeting in June.

If you are leaving from the greater Charleston area, you will travel on Charter Buses. If you are traveling from outside the Charleston area, you will travel in vans.

The Georgia Baptist Conference Center features a full dining hall, which offers buffet-style meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The Conference Center also features the snack shop which will be open during free time and late at night for campers to purchase good and refreshments.

If your student has food allergies, please indicate this on the registration form. If your student has extreme food allergies, please email us at summercamp@seacoast.org so we can work with you directly and the Conference Center to make sure we can accommodate your student.

Yes. We will have a security team at Summer Camp to ensure your students’ safety. Additionally, for every eight students, there will be a volunteer room leader. This leader has been background checked and interviewed.

The lake will not be available for our use this summer due to a county decision to close and drain the lake for inspection and replacement of the dam. This means that we will not have access to the lake swimming areas and slide like we did last year; however, we have been working hard at preparing alternative plans. We’re looking forward to what this year’s Summer Camp will bring for students, including the addition of water wars to the rec field during House Wars and several options we are exploring to bring water activities, a covered basketball area, and additional indoor activities for those looking for that as well. We think all these options will enhance the experience for your student this summer.

As Summer Camp has grown, we feel it is important for our Houses to grow too so we keep the teams smaller; therefore, allowing students more opportunities to take part in the competitions and all that House Wars brings to the Camp experience. We will be introducing two new Houses this summer. As a result, there will be some changes made that may result in students being of a different House team. We will get House assignments, mascots, and colors out to each registered student in early July and in plenty of time for you to prepare for packing for Camp.
