Cost: We know that different churches have different budgets and how those are then used during the year, and that might impact how your ministry leaders navigate added costs like transportation or leader costs. Therefore, to reduce confusion, we leave it to the leaders to know the camp cost, and then determine how to budget the expense of the weekend.
Registration: Often church ministries will utilize a church vehicle for transportation for their group to camp for a retreat. Running registration through the church ministry leaders ensures they know who is coming, how many seats/vehicles they will need, and know how many students they will be supervising for the weekend.
Staffing/facilitating: While a few of our summer staff friends do come back to assist (always a highlight for summer campers and staff alike to see familiar faces), we do not have the full staff capabilities to facilitate camp without partnership from local church leaders to help walk your students through the weekend.
If you’re a ministry leader with more questions or haven’t received a link to our documents with more information and registration assistance, please call the camp office or email eric@portagelake.org
