Jr. High Summer Camp

Our part:

We give you a discounted rate for each camper. Plus, each camper and counselor will receive a free camp T-shirt, a free camp photo, and free access to recreation activities. We provide you with access to Hartland’s online registration system. This easy-to-use system streamlines registering campers, collecting medical forms, sending confirmation notices, and creating rosters (paper forms are also available). We also provide you with a free promotional video, posters, bulletin inserts, and flyers to get the word out to your students and parents.

Your Part:
1. You decide how many camper spots you want to reserve and submit your request below.
2. You secure the spots by signing the contract(s) and making a non-refundable deposit of $35 per camper.
3. You send registration, medical forms, etc., to each camper through Hartland’s online registration system.
4. You provide campers with a packing list, dress code, and other pre-camp information (supplied by Hartland).
5. You supply one counselor for every seven campers. There is no charge for the counselors to attend camp.
6. 2 weeks before camp, you give Hartland one check for the balance of the camp fees due, cabin assignment sheets, completed medical forms, and volunteer counselor applications.

What to Bring

Clothing: Hartland Christian Camp is about 4500 feet, with temperatures varying greatly. Summer afternoons are generally warm (low 70s to mid-90s), and nights are cool to cold, with temperatures from the 60s down to the 40s.

• Warm clothing for evenings
• Cooler clothing for daytime
• Good walking/hiking shoes
• “Grubbies” (clothes that can get dirty, muddy, etc.)
• Jacket, sweatshirt, etc.
• Towel
• Sleeping bag
• Pillow
• Soap, shampoo, toothbrush, etc
• Insect repellent
• Water bottle
• Bible
• Pen or pencil
• Camera
• Flashlight
• Spending money for the café, gift shop, crafts, and paintball

Each day there is a cabin cleanup theme. Monday is anything about the camp theme, Tuesday is manly men and girly girls, Wednesday is counselor appreciation day, and Thursday is traps and tricks. Many campers and counselors like to bring decorating supplies for this purpose. It’s a fun way to build cabin unity and earn points for your team. Please do not use duct tape on walls or bunks, lipstick on mirrors, or anything else that leaves a mess.

Please put the camper’s name on everything! Call the Camp Office at (559) 337-2349 if your child has lost something. Items are only held for two (2) weeks after camp.

What Not to Bring

• Electronic devices of any kind
• Alcohol
• Tobacco
• Vape pipes
• Drugs (unless prescribed by a doctor)
• Firearms
• Fireworks

DRESS CODE

We have the unique opportunity to create a setting that fosters spiritual, relational, and personal growth. Your dress can help or hinder that goal, so please be modest. While this list does not include every imaginable article of clothing or fashion trend, here are some guidelines to help you keep everyone’s best interests in mind.

• Tops end where bottoms begin. Your midriff belongs behind one or the other.
• We’re all about unity when it comes to swimwear. Please wear modest one-piece bathing suits only (or a colored T-shirt over).
• Underwear belongs UNDER your other clothes. Don’t go showing it off.
• Sleepwear is for sleeping in. Please don’t wear your jammies around camp.
• Yoga pants are for doing yoga in. Save the tight-fitting pants/shorts for the gym back home, or cover them with a long shirt.
• And as ironic as it may sound, the longer the shorts, the better. At least fingertip length, please.

…that about “covers” it – please do likewise (pun intended).

Counselors

• Bring a fan and an extension cord for your cabin. It can be hot here, and a fan helps you and your campers sleep comfortably.
• Bring a large illuminated clock so you can keep your campers on schedule.

Parents

Hartland is very isolated, and there are no gasoline stations nearby. Make sure you fill up before you come up the mountain. Please take a moment to read our note to parents or find directions to Hartland for more details.

Medical

We desire to provide a fun yet safe environment for each camper. To accomplish this, a Registered Nurse is on-site and available 24 hours a day to assist with medical emergencies, first-aid, and administration of medications. Please ensure that the medical release form is filled out completely. All campers’ medications must be in their original containers, labeled with name and clear instructions. Multiple medications should then be placed in a clearly labeled zip-lock bag for each individual and turned in to the nurse upon check-in. Learn more about our policies and procedures regarding special dietary needs.

Camper Mail

To ensure that mail reaches campers, please mail letters or packages 4-5 days before the desired delivery date. You may also drop packages off at the office on arrival day.
