Yes, we will have trained medical professionals present throughout the event.

We wish to respect and partner with you as parents, ensuring that your student has an excellent camp experience. There are however a few things that will cause your student to be removed from camp: We will not tolerate fighting. We will not allow drugs, alcohol, or any form of tobacco. If problems arise we will ask you to come pick up your child.

Make sure you fill out the Time Away Form

While we want to leave the communication line open, we ask that both students and parents respect the “retreat” environment. Part of the experience for students is to get away from their normal schedule and spend a weekend interacting with other students and connecting with God. 

We offer the following phone numbers as an emergency contact: 

Kirk Palmer (InsideOut Director) - (417) 658-5811

Trevour Wiltshire (Transit Director) – (404) 786-6067

Yes! Every year, we rely on generosity to send more students to camp, you can give towards that fund here.
