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 May 2nd.  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?

Rides may be available through First Covenant Church.  Word on this option will be announced in May.

 

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. ($2+) 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?
