Camp FAQs

Find answers to your questions about cancellations, "cabin buddies" and other topics related to Calvary's week at Camp Wapo.

 

Q. How do I register my child for camp?

A. Registration entails submitting some forms and applicable fees, along with a copy of your insurance card. Deposit it all in the youth drop box located near the reception desk.

Q. If my child has to cancel, can I get a refund or transfer his/her deposit?

A. The deposit is non-refundable, non-transferable. Wapo has this policy to help cover administrative costs.

Q. What if my child has food allergies?

A. Make sure that all allergies (including food allergies) are listed on your child's health form. We will contact Wapo to inform them of the allergy prior to our arrival. They try to accommodate all campers with allergies.

Q. Do you have a place to go in bad weather while at camp?

A. Yes, Wapo has designated safe areas for campers and counselors in case of severe weather.

Q. When is my final payment due?

A. Your final payment is due July 1. A late fee of $25 may be assessed if the final payment is not made by this date to cover administrative costs.

Q. Will my child be in a cabin with their friend?

A. Yes, each camper is allowed to request ONE cabin buddy. Each camper will be assigned to a cabin with their cabin buddy and our church group.

Q. Can we change the cabin buddy listed?

A. We can only make changes to cabin buddies if the buddy listed does not register for camp. We will not be able to make changes due to friendship issues/conflicts (these conflicts usually resolve at camp). 

Q. Can non-Calvary members register for Calvary Week?

A. Yes, we have several campers who are friends of Calvary kids attend with us. We encourage kids to bring their friends!

Q. Is there transportation?

A. Yes, Calvary offers bus transportation for a fee. It is available for campers going to Wapo Mainsite for the week (not Seeds), Ox Lake Village, and Luther Dell. Registration forms will be mailed out to registered campers in May or the form may be downloaded.

Q.  If campers don't take the bus what time should they check-in at camp?

A.  Check-in at camp (Wapo, Ox Lake) is between 3:00-5:00 p.m. on Sunday if you are driving your camper.

Q.  What time does the closing program take place on the last day of camp?

A.   The closing program on Friday will begin at 12:00 p.m. (noon) at Ox Lake & JOC and 1:00 p.m. at Wapo.  Parents are welcome to attend the closing program if you are driving your camper home.

Q.  Can we carpool with other families to camp?

A.  That is encouraged, but Calvary staff will not arrange carpools for you.  Please note that if you are transporting a child other than your own home from camp, Calvary will need a note from their parent or guardian to release them into your custody.

Q. Who do I contact if I have a question that isn't listed?

A. Please contact Lisa Buck by e-mail or at 763.231.2992.
