Yes, camp is still happening!! Indiana’s Back on Track plan allows overnight camps to resume in stage 4.5. Check out our health and safety policies and procedures, and stay tuned–we’ll be posting some helpful videos over the next 2 days!
Looking for information on how Camp Challenge plans to address COVID-19 concerns? Check out our parent info sheet and operational plan. Don’t forget, all campers must submit an additional COVID-19 liability release this year…you can access it in your camp account or download a copy here!
Covid-19 has turned our lives upside down for the last couple of months and the uncertainty surrounding how we will live our everyday lives continues. In the latest update from our governor we were given information on how restrictions will be lifted in stages over the next few months. The restrictions in place through July 3 do not allow us to host camps in a way that could safely offer a positive camper experience.
Therefore, we have made the difficult decision to change our camp schedule for the summer. Camp Challenge will not be holding any camps in June and we will change our July camp structure. Please see the camp schedule below.
July 5th-10th: Elementary (3rd – 6th grades)
July 12th-17th: Jr High (6th – 8th grades)
July 19th-24th: Sr High (8th – 12th grades)
July 26th-28th: Young Explorers (1st – 3rd grades)
If you have already signed up for a June session we will move those registrations to the corresponding July session. There are four options for your registration:
You can choose to keep the spot that we have reserved for your camper at a July session
You can choose to roll your registration over to our 2021 camp season
You can choose to cancel your registration and donate any payment made to Camp Challenge
You can choose to cancel your registration and request that we refund any payment already made
If you have already registered a camper please take the time to fill out THIS SURVEY. It will let us know your preference on how to handle your registration.
Camper safety is never 100% guaranteed, risk of injury or sickness is a part of living life in any setting. Covid-19 is a risk that can be mitigated in some ways and we will do everything we can to follow CDC and health department guidelines.
We NEED volunteers for our July camps. Please come and be a part of what we do at Camp Challenge. You can sign up on our website to serve at camp. Gocampchallenge.com
Finally, thank you so much for your continued prayers for Camp Challenge. We hope and pray that God will move in a powerful way this summer. We pray that Camp Challenge will work in the lives of many this summer who need a space removed from what has become the norm over the past few months. Also, thank you to the individuals and churches that contribute financially to the camp. This experience has stretched many individuals and churches financially. We are no exception, we will be stretched financially. Your donations mean so much to us during this time.
There are still many unknowns, we hope and pray this is the last modification we have to make. We are still watching for CDC guidelines specific to overnight camps. We will certainly keep you posted if anything changes with our new summer schedule.
