If an individual camper does not pass the health screening prior to camp because of a positive COVID-19 test or exposure, then all monies for that camper will be refunded to the church.

Bible, shorts and t-shirts, shoes (campers must wear closed-toe shoes at recreation), toiletries and linens (where needed), favorite pillow, money for snacks and items in the store and other optional items such as a camera.

We also will require each camper to bring a face covering (we recommend enough for each day of camp), and highly recommend bringing hand sanitizer to carry around for personal use.

Alcohol, tobacco, illegal drugs, fireworks, any kind of weapon, radios, portable CD players, MP3 players, iPods, water guns, water balloons, tablets, and skateboards (this includes “Wheelies”).

This depends on the location your group will be attending. The majority of locations are 2–4 bedroom dorm rooms with shared bathrooms or bath on the hall. Be sure to check out your group’s location page for more specific information!

3-Day and 5-Day Camp is open to campers who are 2nd grade through those who have completed 6th grade. Many folks have asked for this, so we’ve placed this decision in the hands of the church group leader and the parents about whether to include 2nd graders in your CentriKid group.

CentriKid Day Camp can serve kids from the 1st grade through the 6th grade – and its hosted at YOUR facility. Please contact centrikiddaycamp@gmail.com for more information.

We will do our best to work with our staff and facility staff to make the necessary accommodations for kids with special needs. Call the CentriKid Office toll free at 1-877-CAMP123 or e-mail your question to centrikid@lifeway.com.

There is no May 1st cancellation deadline as in prior years. Final balances are due 14 days prior to camp. See our full financial policies on our website.

We are planning to run camps this summer, but safety is our priority. If we cancel the event, we will offer refunds. Please refer to our financial policies for further clarity.

If a camper requires medical attention while at camp, the camper is responsible for the cost. If the camper does not have insurance the sponsoring church will be the financially responsible party.

At Hang Time, we want you to hang out with your kids, and we want to hang out with your kids, too! There are always games and various other Hang Time options planned, so there is never a dull moment! Most locations have a rec center and/or snack bar so be sure to bring some extra cash for snacks. Of course, the Camp Store is open and there are staff all over campus to hang out and get to know your kids.

This depends on the location your group will be attending. The majority of locations are 2–4 bedroom dorm rooms with shared bathrooms or bath on the hall. Be sure to check out your group’s location page for more specific information!
