While they are at camp...

What if My Kids Have Problems? - The safety and well being of our campers is our highest priority. In the event of situations necessitating your awareness, parents will be contacted. Please rest assured that your child is in safe hands and we will contact you should there be any problems.

What if They get Homesick? - Homesickness can occur at camp, even among experienced campers. At Impact 2818 camps, we encourage homesick campers to stay to the end of the event to allow them to truly experience camp. Our staff and volunteers are trained to help children through homesickness so that they have a great and positive camp experience. In the event that a camper becomes severely homesick, parents will be called by either the Spiritual Director or the Camp Manager so that the best decision can be made regarding their child.

Is there any way to stay in Touch? Photos and video will taken of your camper while at camp and may be used for publicity purposes by Impact 2818 Outdoor Ministries. Additionally, many of those photos and video will be uploaded to our facebook fansites. Directors and staff at each event will be posting updates throughout the day along with some photography and comments to help you know what is going on. You do not need to be a facebook user to access these sites. Your campers will not be able to see or respond to anything on these sites either.

Additionally, you can send your children mail and email. Information will be included in your information packet as well as from the home page of beacamper.com as camp begins..

Can My Camper have Visitors? - To protect your children and to minimize homesickness, we have a very tight policy on visitors. Impact 2818 Outdoor Ministries does not offer parent visitation days. Parents or guardians are discouraged from visiting and phoning a camper during their week of camp. Personal contacts from parents can have negative effects regarding homesickness and community building times. Remember, if there is a problem with your child, we will contact you. Pastors and youth/children workers are encouraged to visit campers during their week of camp. It is required that all visitors remain unobtrusive to the program and respect the active leadership in progress. All other visitors are not allowed at camp for any reason.

Should I be worried about Severe Weather? - Weather is monitored 24 hours a day. Camp Staff will alert leaders of possible severe weather approaching. All camp leaders are trained on where to take campers in the event of severe storms.
