What are our options for paying for camp?

We don’t want finances to be a reason for any student to miss the experience of camp. A few things to know about paying for camp:

Registering your student for camp has no risk! If your plans change (you schedule a vacation, your situation changes, or something else unforeseeable) you can email Student Ministry Events for a refund. Refunds are available until July 9th.
When you check out, you’ll decide how much you’d like to pay at that time. You’ll then be able to make payments up until Camp. The earlier you register, the longer you’ll have to pay, which will make payments smaller.
If you think you’ll be unable to pay the full amount of your student’s Wildfire Middle School Camp ticket, we have scholarships available. You can apply for one here. Your campus’ Student Ministry Staff will receive your application and be in touch with you.
We encourage you to sign up as soon as possible! There’s no cost to sign up and if you sign up as early as January, you’ll get the early bird discount price of $395 and have 7 months to make payments (which would be $56.50 a month per registration!) If that’s too much for your family, you have the scholarship option to help supplement that payment.

What if I have more than one student attending a retreat this summer?

For families that have multiple students registering for camp, there’s a $100 discount available for the total cost of your registrations. Please email student ministry at after you register your student for more information.

What is the cancellation/refund policy this year?

Refunds are available until registration closes on July 9th. If the University needs to cancel camp, you will be notified and receive a full refund.
Regardless of notice given, if a student cannot attend camp in the event of illness, COVID-19 exposure, or a family emergency, we will provide a full refund. Please let us know as soon as possible if you need to request a refund. A refund will be issued only if requested. All student and leader refunds may be requested by emailing Student Ministry Events

How can you ensure my student’s safety?

We are bringing our own security and medical teams that will be present throughout the entire camp. We also have access to urgent care and hospitals within a short distance.
Please note that we cannot hold on to or dispense the prescriptions that your student brings. We ask that they keep the medication with them and take it as prescribed. Please prepare them ahead of time to take their own medications. A trained medical volunteer will be present at all times during Wildfire Middle School camp to assist with general medical needs and emergencies.

What are the sleeping arrangements like and who will oversee my student?

Your student will be assigned to a room either with or near leaders who are background checked and cleared to serve in LCBC Student Ministry.

What kind of activities will my student participate in?

Each day students will participate in group games competing in team color battles. A few weeks prior to camp, the parent or guardian who registers your student will receive an email with your student’s assigned color. During free time, students will have access to all of Millersville’s recreational activities, including a pool and a ropes course. We also provide board games, arts & crafts supplies and daily special activities, like bingo, during free time.

What if my student has special dietary restrictions?

On the registration form, you’ll be able to identify food allergies and other dietary needs. We do our best to accommodate all food needs, but students should be able to verbalize and confirm ingredients they are allergic to as they are many food options in the dining hall.

What does my student need to bring?

What to Bring

4 sets of clothes (include an outfit that can get messy/ruined!)
Modest Swimwear - we ask everyone to choose swimwear that is comfortable while maintaining modesty during active play. Many two-pieces suits meet the standards of modesty, but boys’ speedos and girls’ bikinis can miss the mark for the highly active nature of our events.
Sleeping bag and pillow
Toiletries (make sure to include sunscreen!)
Towel
Bible and pen
Spending money for the camp store & snack shop
Refillable Water Bottle!

Can my student bring their cell phone?

We discourage students from bringing their cell phones to Wildfire Middle School Camp as it is a great time to “unplug.” However, the final decision lies with the parent/guardian. If you believe that your student is capable of being responsible with their device, they may use it at appropriate times (for example: taking pictures, free time, Bible reading). We believe that it is important for students to learn how to appropriately engage with their devices, and our leaders aim to help guide our students to learn how to do so; however, if cell phones are used inappropriately, they may be confiscated. All confiscated devices will be returned at the end of camp.

How can I follow along throughout camp?
