Ages
All children,
ages 10 to 18, or those having completed the 4th grade, are invited
to apply. Some underage campers may be accepted if the camp is
not filled by July 1st. The campsite will accommodate 200 campers.
Applications will be accepted on a first-come basis.
Location
The beautiful
Camp Pottawatomie Hills is located approximately 5 miles north
of Elkhorn, Wisconsin, near the junction of U.S. Highway 12 and
Wisconsin Highway 20. Click here

Check-In & Check-Out
Check-in will
be from 2-4 p.m. on Sunday, July 20th. Check-out will begin after
clean-up is completed (typically by 10:00 a.m.) on Saturday,
July 26th. Parents, PLEASE be on time to pick up your campers.
Cost
The cost will
be $160 for one, $260 for two, or $360 for three or more campers
from the same household. These amounts include a $25 per person
registration fee. All fees must be paid by July 1, 2008 to avoid
a $10 per camper late fee. No reservation is considered secure
until the entire camp fee is paid in full. One T-Shirt per Camper
is included in the Camp Fee. Campers are expected to take part
in the cleanup of the campgrounds on Saturday. Those departing
before the check-out time must pay a $7 clean-up fee.
NEW! Canteen Deposit
One of the complaints
we have had in past years is the length of time spent in line
during registration. One reason for this is the time needed to
properly record Canteen money. To help alleviate this problem
you may now send the funds you want deposited into the Canteen
account for your child along with the application. Please note
on the application the amount you want deposited into each child's
Canteen account.
Purpose
It is the purpose
of the summer camp to provide a clean, wholesome environment
for all campers. All the activities are designed to maintain
a spiritual atmosphere according to the principles found in the
Bible. Each camper is expected to follow the rules of the camp
and obey the instructions of the staff.
Teaching Program
Each day will
begin with a devotional. There will be daily Bible lectures,
classes and singing. This year's study will deal with gaining
strength through adversity, using class material written by Al
Diestelkamp.
Daily Activities
A full program
of activities is being planned including: Bible lectures and
classes; daily devotions; crafts; games and athletic events;
free time; good meals; and more fun!
Worship Plans
Even though daily
Bible study is conducted at camp, we believe Christians should
make every reasonable effort to assemble with the saints on a
regular basis, even when on vacation. In accordance with this,
all campers will be transported by bus on Sunday and Wednesday
evenings to the services of an established congregation. Please
bring appropriate clothing.
Dress, Grooming &
Conduct
In order to maintain
an atmosphere consistent with our purpose, a strict dress, grooming
and conduct code is enforced for all campers and staff. Upon
acceptance of your application a detailed explanation of the
rules will be mailed to your family. If you feel you cannot abide
by the rules of the camp, your fees will be refunded if you cancel
by July 1, 2008. Parents of campers who will not comply with
the rules will be required to come get their children upon request
of the Camp Director.
Visitor Policy
Visitors will
be permitted on the campsite beginning at 6:00 p.m. on Friday,
July 25th. At that time, visitors should come to the dining hall
for the Camper Talent Show. Visitors who are not members of the
Booster Club will be asked to donate ($3 per person or $5 per
family) as the price of admission to the Talent Show. No meals
will be served. However, visitors who would like to bring their
own meal and picnic in the parking area in front of the lodge
may arrive at 5:00 p.m. Access to the campsite will be limited
to the area in front of the lodge (parking lot area) until 6:00
p.m.
No visitor under age 18
is allowed unless accompanied by a parent, guardian or authorized
adult who assumes responsibility. Visitors will be expected to
adhere to the camp dress and conduct code.
Overnight Guests
Some space may
be available for overnight accommodation for the cost of $7 per
person (includes Saturday breakfast). However, such space is
expected to be very limited and cannot be guaranteed.
Staff
The entire staff
is comprised of Christians who work on a completely voluntary
basis.
