Our Campus Campout…
Is an evening of fun and fellowship. It’s a chance to unplug and unwind together.
The event begins on Friday evening at 7pm with tent set-up, games, bonfires, and fun. We usually continue the evening with an outdoor movie and some snacks. We’ll have a brief bedtime devotion and then retire to our tents.
In the morning, we’ll have some sort of breakfast, AND COFFEE, and head home around 9am. There will be a small per-student fee to cover the cost of snacks, etc.

FAQ
How much does it cost?
If your family will be there for breakfast, the cost is $10 per child.
If your family is only attending the evening portion of the event, the cost is $5 per child.
What do I need to bring?
Bring a tent, sleeping bags, pajamas, a toothbrush, and toothpaste.
What is my responsibility as a parent?
Your primary job is paying attention to your kids. This isn’t a babysitting event; its a fellowship event. The faculty and staff have roles and responsibilities, and are not expected to be managing student behavior.
You also share a tent with your kids. Some kids will ask to share tents with each other. That could happen at a different tent event, but not this one.
Can I help out with anything?
Yes! We need parents to help the event run smoothly. You could monitor a fire pit, help prepare s’mores packets, distribute s’mores materials, run a game, help with movie snacks, or help with breakfast setup/takedown.
