Camp FAQ

How are you going to ensure my child’s safety?
Safety is a top priority for us. All of our leaders at camp have completed an extensive background check and child safety training. Each student will be placed in a small group with other students of the same grade and gender, along with a leader who will stay with them throughout the entire retreat. We will also have a licensed nurse on-site to assist with any medical needs and manage all student medications.
How will my student get to camp?

Your student will travel by charter bus with their small group and leader, along with other students and leaders in the same grade. All buses are equipped with air conditioning and restrooms for a comfortable trip.

Where will my student sleep at camp?

Students will stay in dorms with others of the same grade and gender. Their small group leader will also be in the dorm with them to provide supervision. 

Who is my student meeting with in small groups?

Students will meet in small groups with others of the same grade and gender, led by a trusted adult leader who will stay with them throughout the retreat. 

What will my student learn at camp?

Each day of camp is designed to help students deepen their faith and grow in their relationship with Christ. Sessions will focus on the gospel, discipleship, the Holy Spirit, spiritual gifts, surrender, and living out faith with integrity. Teaching will be Biblically based and age-appropriate. Students will experience worship services each morning and evening along with small groups where they can process what they’re learning with trusted leaders.

What if my student has prescription medication?

We will have a nurse with us at camp who will keep your students’ medication and ensure they take it at the time listed in their registration. Please only bring what medication is needed during the duration of the camp. All medication must be turned in during check-in on the day of departure for camp. Upon registration, you can let us know any information about your student’s medication. 

What if my student has food allergies or dietary restrictions?  
We are happy to accommodate food allergies and dietary needs. Please include that information during registration so we can work with the camp kitchen to ensure safe meals for your student.
What should I do if I need to contact my student while they are at camp?

We want each student to have a distraction-free time, so they will not be allowed to bring their phones. If you need to contact your student when they do not have their phone, please contact their small group leader, or our team can be reached via text at (405) 444-8199.

 

Do you need a camp sponsorship?

At Faith Church, our heart is that finances wouldn’t be the reason your student doesn’t attend camp. You may apply for a scholarship here: https://faithchurchfamily.churchcenter.com/people/forms/1036029. All requests must be submitted before May 17th, 2026. Limited scholarships are available and are not guaranteed.

What if I need to pick up my student early or drop them off late?

If your student has a significant conflict (such as a medical procedure or a required tournament), you may indicate this during registration and provide the necessary details. In most cases, we are able to accommodate these situations with approval from our Next Gen Team.

What are tribes?

Students will select their tribe during registration. Spots are limited and filled on a first-come, first-served basis, and each tribe will be balanced by grade and gender. The four tribes are Red Firefighters, Orange Astronauts, Green Pirates, and Purple Cowboys. Tribes will compete in daily games and challenges to build teamwork and community. To show team spirit, please pack clothing and accessories in your student’s tribe color.
