Frequently Asked Questions

 

WHAT ABOUT CAMP SCHOLARSHIPS?  

A $100.00 Camp Scholarship is available to any student registering through 1st Covenant Church who needs help paying for camp.  This includes all friends invited by 1st Covenant campers.  If you find yourself in a financial bind beyond the $100 need, please write a note on your Camp Scholarship Request Form as more funds may be available.  The deadline to request scholarships is April 6th.  After that date, scholarships will only be available if there is remaining money in the Camp Scholarship Fund (no guarantees). No scholarships are available for Pathfinder Camp

 

WHO DO I PAY? 

All money is paid to 1st Covenant Church.  Your money will be collected and sent on to camp in one check to ease camp's bookkeeping.  This payment system was new in 2006.

 

HOW DO I GET MY STUDENT TO AND FROM CAMP?

Camp transportation sign-ups begin in June.   Van safety regulations state that only 9-10 students may ride in a 15 passenger van so we need plenty of drivers.  Rides are $30 round trip per camper.  Pay for the ride the day you leave for camp.  A church representative will be available in the parking lot for you to pay.  Rides leave the church parking lot at 2:15 to arrive at camp by 4:15 (Registration begins at 4:00. Lines are long, so we arrive 15 minutes late) on Sundays of camp.  Be 15 minutes early (2:00) to load the vans.  Vans return to church around 3:30 on the end day of camp (Wed. for Trailblazers, Friday for other camps)   If you live closer to Elkhorn, stops can be arranged for pick up and drop off at the Elkhorn Burger King for your convenience.

 

CAN I WRITE TO MY CAMPER?

You may write your camper while they are at camp.  The address is Covenant Cedars Bible Camp, Box 68, Hordville, NE  68846.  You may want to send letters off before your camper is gone as the mail is quite slow (3 days).

 

HOW MUCH MONEY DO I SEND WITH MY CAMPER?

There is a store with clothing and smallish items.  There is a canteen that is open a couple times a day to sell snacks. Crafts are available during activity time they are sold at reasonable rates. ($1+) There is an offering at the end of camp.  Campers come with a wide range of amounts.  They will turn in their money to camp.  A money ticket will be issued to each camper’s counselor.

WHAT ARE THE CABIN ARRANGEMENTS?

Cabin groups are formed based on who you write as a cabin mate for your camper.  Groups of 10-12 campers are with a Christian teen or adult counselor.  There are girls cabins and boys cabins and the campers sleep on bunk beds using bedding they have brought along.
