What Parents Should Know Before Sending Their Child to Camp

Sending your child to camp can feel like a big step.

We understand — trust matters.

Here are a few things parents often want to know before sending their child to Clara Springs.

Safety comes first

We take safety seriously through:

  • Trained staff and counselors
  • Structured schedules and supervision
  • Clear check-in and check-out procedures
  • Age-appropriate programming

Spiritual growth is intentional

Camp isn’t random.

Every service, small group, and activity is designed to help students grow in their relationship with Christ in a supportive, Christ-centered environment.

First-time campers are welcome

Some campers need a gentle introduction to overnight camp — and that’s okay.

Programs like Pre-Camp are designed to help younger campers feel safe, confident, and excited about camp.

Communication is clear

Parents can expect:

  • Pre-camp emails
  • Packing lists
  • Arrival instructions
  • Clear contact options if questions come up

Camp is more than a getaway.

It’s an investment in your child’s spiritual foundation.
