When does camp begin and end?
All week-long camps begin on Sunday with check-in from 4-5 pm and end with a closing worship service on Friday at 11 am. Mini Camp begins on Wednesday with check-in from 4-5 pm and ends on Friday at 5 pm. Families are welcome for the closing worship service and picnic to follow.

What is Mini Camp?
Laurelville Mini Camp is specifically designed for children ages 6-8. These first-time campers are given a three-day, two-night taste of what a week-long camp experience is like. A camper’s first time at an overnight camp is a big deal, so we work hard to make sure both campers and parents feel comfortable.

Registration opens at the beginning of the year. A $50 deposit is required with your registration to hold your spot. Full payment is requested before arrival. Cancellations up to two weeks of the start of camp will receive a full refund minus a $50 cancellation fee. Cancellations after that two-week mark will be non-refundable. If you pay with a credit card, processing fees will apply. There are no additional fees if you pay with cash, check, or debit card.

Are scholarships available?
