CHILDREN’S PROGRAMSChildren of any age are welcome to join you for Main Sessions. Childcare: Age-appropriate care is provided as an option for our youngest guests during Main Sessions (ages 0 through kindergarten) by our incredible staff. Times are published in the schedule above. Please make dropping off and picking up your children a priority when planning your schedule before and after sessions. Drop-off is up to 15 minutes prior to Main Sessions in the Game Room, upstairs from the Gym.

SUNDAY NIGHT LIVE: Main session on Sunday night will be held in the outdoor amphitheater (weather allowing). Sunday Night Live is a session that meshes more skits, popcorn, and some classic camp elements with the worship and speaker. Our theme this year is Olympian! We encourage your family to come prepared with Olympian costumes to wear throughout the weekend, and specifically to Sunday Night Live. We look forward to seeing what your family comes up with!

HELPFUL HINTS FOR FAMILIESWELCOME!Thank you for joining us for Family Camp Weekend! We truly hope that this weekend is fun and relaxing for the whole family. REGISTRATIONRegistration begins Friday at 4:00pm at the main entrance. You will be required to check in and get wristbands for all members of your group before going to your housing. For your safety and security: l All guests must wear a registration wristband throughout the weekend. If you lose or damage your wristband, please return to registration, or ask a host for assistance. l All guests must enter and exit through the main gate. All other gates will be locked.

FOLLOW THE CODE OF CONDUCT AND CAMPING RULES l Swimming is only allowed in our lakes and pools when a life guard is present. Please do not swim or boat in any of the lakes unless at an activity supervised by a SpringHill lifeguard. l Once you have moved in to your housing, please park your vehicle for the remainder of the weekend. Driving of vehicles, ATVs, UTVs, etc. is only permitted when you are using the vehicle to enter or exit the property. Park only in lots, not on the roads or in front of housing units.

STUDY THE MAPWith more than 900 acres of property, it’s a good idea to familiarize yourself and your family with the camp’s layout. You will also find camp maps, as well as directional signs to help you walk around camp and get where you’re going.

ASK LOTS OF QUESTIONSThat’s the best way to get started. Ask lots of questions, we will give you lots of answers. We want you to have a stress-free weekend where your only responsibility is to have a blast with your family. Let us know how we can help you!
