FAQS


  • How is faith a part of the Camp?

    Children and families of all faith backgrounds are welcome at Camp Columbia! Children will hear stories from the Bible, be invited to pray before meals, and learn Scripture each week. Our faith informs all our decisions and is most prominently displayed in the way we treat others.


  • What should my child bring to Camp?

    A water bottle and closed-toed shoes! Campers are also welcome to bring a backpack or bag to keep their personal belongings. Families will be notified by the Camp Columbia Director Team if campers need to bring additional items to Camp for field trips or other activities.

  • What should my child NOT bring to camp?

    Please leave electronics, cameras, expensive items, and trading cards (including Pokemon cards) at home. If any of these items are brought to Camp, they will be held onto by the Director Team until the camper’s parents arrive to pick them up that day. Campers ARE allowed to bring personal items from home like books, crafting supplies, and small toys to use during certain times of the day. Camp Columbia is not responsible for lost, broken, or stolen items.

  • What meals and snacks are provided at camp?

    Camp Columbia provides two snacks and a lunch every day. You can find the menu for the month on the parent resource page. It is also sent out each week in the Camp Columbia parent newsletter and can be found on our site. Families are more than welcome to send their own food with their child due to allergy, dietary restriction, or preference. Please keep in mind that we are a nut-free facility, so please do not send nuts of any kind with your child to Camp.
