Helpful Information

General Information

    • A non-refundable deposit must accompany each application.
    • No meals are able to be provided beyond those covered during the regular camp session.
    • We do not encourage visits by parents during camp sessions as some children, perhaps not your own, may become homesick.
    • Campers are not to bring the following to camp: Books & magazines, water guns, knives, playing cards, electronics, cigarettes or e-cigarettes.
    • Christian standards of conduct are expected at all times. All clothing (including swimsuits) must provide appropriate coverage and must not have inappropriate images or slogans.
    • All overnight campers will be inspected for head lice before being assigned a cabin. Any camper found to have nits or live head lice will need to be treated to be able to stay, and treatment is available (for purchase) on site during registration. If a camper is unable to stay at camp because of a situation like this, a full refund (including deposit) will be issued.
    • The Program Manager reserves the right to send a camper home at any point in a camp session if they are not complying with the rules of the camp.

Sponsorship

No child is denied a camping experience at Galilee Bible Camp due to lack of funds. Where a need exists, financial assistance is available through our Camper Sponsorship Program for any child who would like to attend one of the children’s camps. If you require assistance, please contact the camp office. Each request will be considered on an individual basis.
