Campers may only attend one week of summer camp. Our registrations and waiting lists have increased greatly over the last couple of years, and we desire that as many kids as possible get to experience a week of summer camp. You can put your child on multiple waiting lists to increase the chances of getting a spot, but campers will only be allowed to attend once.

We are saddling up for our western theme of His Way Ranch this year! Our desire is to point campers to Jesus as the only way of salvation and to God's Word as their standard for life. Our theme passage is Psalm 119:9-16. Campers who memorize this passage before the end of their week of camp will receive a special prize!

We have to manually apply these discounts to your child's account. This will be done after the lesson deadline of April 15. If you know your child has finished or will finish the lessons and you want to go ahead and pay in full, you have 2 options: 1--Choose the option to pay only the deposit during the initial registration process. (Our system only gives the option to pay the deposit or full amount at that time.) You can log back in later and it will allow you to pay any amount on the account. You can then pay the balance minus the $60 discount, and once the discount is applied it will zero out your child's account. 2--If you pay the full $300 during the initial registration process, we can either refund the $60 credit once it is applied, or we can apply it to your child's camp store spending money.

We know that homesickness is a real thing (and sometimes "camper"sickness is even more real for the parents!). Our counselors receive training on how to deal with camper homesickness. We will try to encourage your child and give reminders of all the fun things to look forward to during the week. We also try to find homesick campers a "buddy" to hang out with if needed. Sometimes if campers can make it over the first hump of homesickness, they find the rest of the week flies by. In case of extreme homesickness, we will contact parents to notify them of the situation and ask them to recommend a course of action.

The full price of camp is $300 per camper. This includes all activities, meals, and snack fee. We offer a $50 multi-child discount if you are sending 3 or more children from the same immediate family. The first two children will pay full price; 3rd child and up will receive the discount. We also offer a $60 Mailbox Club Discount for campers who have completed a course of Bible lessons through the mail with us during the school year. It is too late to begin lessons for this summer, but lessons will be mailed to all campers in the fall to begin for another year. If you are in need of other financial assistance, please contact the camp office for a Financial Aid Application.

If a camper cancels before May 1st, we will refund all money, including the deposit. For cancellations after May 1st, the $75 deposit is non-refundable. If it is necessary for your child to cancel, please let us know as soon as possible as we usually have long waiting lists.

No, we ask that campers not bring cell phones (or other electronic devices) to camp. We feel it is important to give them a week away from distractions to fully enjoy God's creation and all the excitement a week of camp can bring. If a camper is found with a cell phone or other electronic device, it will be confiscated and held in our camp office until checkout on Friday.

Yes! Campers are allowed to bring cameras (not cell phone cameras) and take pictures to remember all the fun!

We have a Snack Shop and Camp Store for campers. Campers' snack fees are included in the registration fee so they will not need additional money for snack shop. Campers will be allowed to visit the snack shop 2-3 times a day and choose 1 or 2 items each visit. Our Camp Store has a variety of water bottles, souvenirs, and T-shirts ($15-$30). You can add money to your child’s store account during online registration or log back in at a later date. An average amount for campers to have is $30-$40 but this is completely optional. Parents will also have the opportunity to visit our camp store during drop off and pick up times. If a camper does not spend all the money during the week, it will be refunded to them in cash on Friday. We also take up a missionary offering each week for a special project presented by our missionary speaker. Campers have the option to give towards this project each night during chapel if desired.

We know that the safety of their children is foremost in parents' minds when sending campers to overnight camp, therefore we take the selection of our summer staff very seriously. Each college staff member has completed an application, interview process, reference check, and background check prior to working here. Many of our college staff are ones who have come up through our programs as campers and volunteer high school staff. College staff complete training on recognizing and preventing child sexual abuse, receive basic first aid certification, and complete a week of on-site staff training. This week of staff training includes classes on: overall camp policies and procedures, how to lead devotions, dealing with homesickness, emergency camp procedures, safety training for all camp activities, camper discipline, and much more.

The health and safety of our campers and staff is one of our top concerns. We will have 2 dedicated first aid providers each week (usually RNs/LPNs). They will dispense regular camper medications during the week as well as provide basic first aid care when needed. Each camper is required to have a completed Medical Form during the registration process, and each camper will have a short health screening with one of our first aid providers during check. No medications (prescription or over-the-counter) may be kept in the cabins during the week (with the exception of epi-pens & rescue inhalers). Please see the Medications section on the Parent Information Sheet Food Allergies If your child has special dietary needs please contact our Food Service Director prior to arrival so that we can work out a plan for your child. The allergy section of the registration portal has a listing of common food allergies so please complete it. We regret that we do not have the resources to accommodate all individual needs and preferences. We may ask that you bring items to supplement. Any foods to be heated should be microwave ready. Please clearly label with your child’s name. We do not have facilities to cook extra items from scratch. They need to be ready to “heat and serve” from microwave or oven. More information will be emailed to you before your child’s camp week.

Each cabin houses 10-11 campers along with 2 staff members. You may request 1-2 roommates for your camper. We try to honor these requests whenever possible. Please note that large groups may have to be split into more than one cabin to best accommodate all campers.

If you have a need to check your camper out early, please communicate that ahead of time to the camp office. You can either fill out an Early Check Out form on Monday when you drop your child off or call the office during the week to let us know who is picking up your child. It helps us to know ahead of time so we can have your child prepared and for security purposes. You will need to show ID at the time of pick up. Sometimes parents want to pick up their child for appointments during the week and then bring the child back. We discourage this if possible because it disrupts the child's week as well as potentially disrupting other aspects of camp, but we know that sometimes it is unavoidable. If you are picking up your child and plan to bring him/her back to camp, you will need to follow the same procedure as other Early Check Outs -- fill out a form on Monday or call the camp office. Campers should not be picked up or dropped off before 7:00 AM or after 9:00 PM.

It is fine to have someone else bring your child to camp on Monday for drop off. Please be sure all information is completed properly online and all financial details are finalized. If your child has special medical information that may need to be communicated to the camp nurse, please send it in writing with your child or call the office to update your online medical form. During check in on Monday mornings, we will ask for the name of the person who will pick up your child on Friday. This can be the parents/guardians or anyone they designate. This person will have to show ID on Friday afternoon during pick up. If you need to change the pick up person during the week, you can call the camp office and update us.

Yes! Campers love getting mail during their time at camp! We strongly encourage parents to send mail BEFORE the Monday of your child's week to ensure that it gets here on time (our mail can be slow!). Campers can also receive packages if desired. How to address mail/packages: Camper Name Camp Victory 363 Victory Circle Samson, AL 36477

The Parent Information Sheet has a list of things to bring and what not to bring. Please also note our Dress Code when packing for your camper. Campers during our older weeks of camp (June 23-27 and June 30-July 4) should bring only shorts that are fingertip length or longer. Campers are not required to dress up for evening chapel services, but some choose to bring nicer outfits for that time.
