FAQs

What does my child need to bring with them to camp?

Themselves and an open attitude! We also ask that campers dress in comfortable clothing and closed toed shoes that can get wet and dirty. If specific medical devices, medications, or sunscreens should accompany your child, we ask the parents or guardians to check those items in at the start of camp or at each morning drop-off.

What is my child not allowed to bring to camp?

We do not allow any type of personal electronics at camp. If your child brings an item in this category and it is lost, stolen, or damaged, we are not responsible for the incident. We ask that the campers leave all non-essential items at home, this includes but is not limited to: electronics, toys, accessories, and equipment. Never allow your campers to bring money.

May my child attend all dates offered?

Yes! If your child qualifies for our Seeds of Hope programs, we encourage kids to join us for all weeks offered if the camp location is accessible to you. Be sure to check out our other program and events offered throughout the year.

Does Seeds of Hope offer transportation assistance?

Not generally, but if you have a difficult circumstance and require assistance, please contact us by email or our contact form to discuss your scenario.

What about meals and snacks during camp?

Breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack (as well as plenty of water, milk and juice options) are provided to all campers and staff each day of summer camp. If your child has allergies or food restrictions, please indicate that in the camper application and they will receive an alternative option.

What will my child do while at camp?

Your child will participate in a variety of activities that keep them active, allow them to be creative, provide learning opportunities, encourage bonding and relationship development, while providing opportunities to praise God throughout the day. See the sample schedule above.

What is considered at-risk?

According to the United States Census bureau, children have been defined as "at-risk" by meeting a variety of circumstances. These are circumstances are: the absence of either or both parents from the household the child resides in; at least one foreign-born parent of recent immigration; low family income; the absence of any employed parent or guardian in the household; the child having at least one disability; being retained in grade at least once; or speaks English less than “very well.” Measures of community risk might include rates of poverty, crime, unemployment, or teen parenthood in the community.
