Don’t leave home without the following:

• Your Bible (obvI)
• Notebook (the sermons are going to be noteworthy)
• Pen (as the saying goes, “The pen is mightier than the sword”)
• Sunscreen, workout clothes, tennis shoes, swimsuit.
• Refillable Water Bottle.
• Toothbrush and other toiletries (please and thank you)
• Phone charger (duh)

Things to leave at home: weapons, bad attitudes, drugs, alcohol, lighters, and anything you wouldn’t want your grandmother to see.

Unfortunately, we are unable to offer refunds.

If your teenager can no longer attend Summer Camp, you can send someone in their place by connecting with the YTH Director at your campus.

• Every adult serving in our YTH Ministry is required to have a background check.

• Thirteen students and two leaders in each cabin
• Each cabin will be separated by gender, grade, and team
• Guy cabins will be on the opposite side of the campgrounds of our Girls cabins
• Room checks will occur every night by Security Staff and Camp Leaders.

No, this is an all-inclusive camp. But there will be a gift shop open during free time hours where students can purchase snacks/ snow cones, and lake yale merchandise should you/they be interested. YTH will be responsible for carrying their own money.

Lake Yale’s head chef will be present to accommodate any dietary restrictions. This will need to be included in your registration to ensure your YTH is covered in our dietary requests.

• YTH who take medication must bring only what is needed for the duration of the event in a clear bag. 
• We will collect and document all medication during check-in at Radiant Heights, and our Camp Nurse Team and your YTH’s Team Leader will be notified.
• Camp Nurse Team will be available throughout Camp, with an assigned time for YTH taking medication.
• At registration you can elect which over the counter medications can be provided to your student if needed.

• Yes, your child can bring their own snacks. (Especially ones their cabin leaders would like 😉 ).
• There will be sensory options available throughout camp for any YTH who need a quiet and calm place to recoup. 
• We can accommodate team and room preferences the best we can, but we strongly believe your YTH will make new friends and have a great time!
