"What are the sleeping arrangements?"
Students will be assigned to male only and female only RVR cabins (mostly bunkbed style). 2-4 adult leaders (male leaders in the boys cabin and female leaders in the girls cabin) are placed in each of the cabins to host our students, lead devotionals/discussions, and direct the students throughout our retreat.
"How many adults will attend?"
We will have a ratio of 1 adult leader to every 10 students. We value discipleship at Grace Covenant Church, so our adult leaders not only chaperone, but also build relationships with the students, minister to them, pray with them, love them the way Christ would, and help them have fun at camp.
"With campgrounds being so big, I'm worried my student will end up walking around by themselves, I don't want them to get lost." Neither do we. One of our 'Camp Rules' is that no student is allowed to walk around by themselves. We go over this rule, and a few others, in detail during our opening night.
"Food arrangements?" Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner is provided for our students as a part of the Registration Fee for Camp Collide. If your student has severe food allergies, please indicate them in the registration form.
"How can I reach my child during the weekend?" Your student will be allowed to have their cell phones at all times during camp, however they may not be used during service times. We encourage students to fully engage in sessions, and camp activities throughout the retreat.
