Snack Bar
All Junior campers turn in their snack bar money when they register prior to their arrival. Teens may keep their money with them. We suggest $3.00 to $4.00 a day for snacks and other items. We will also have available for purchase, t-shirts, caps, and other gift items.
Accommodations
Your child will be staying in a cabin with children their own age. Each cabin houses 11 children. There will be two cabin leaders in each cabin. There is a central bathhouse in the center of the campgrounds. Cabins are not air-conditioned. You may wish to send a clip on fan with your child and an extension cord. However, cabins are usually quite comfortable at night due to an exhaust fan in the ceiling.
Meals
Well-balanced meals are served in our air-conditioned dining hall. Horton Haven has a reputation for its excellent food. If your child has any food allergies that you noted on their health form, the kitchen will be notified and your child will be taken care of.
Rules of Conduct
General conduct should adhere to sound Christian moral principles. No profanity or vulgarity allowed. No cell phones, iPods, mp3 players, TV’s, hand held video games or skateboards. The use of tobacco, alcoholic beverages, intoxicants, or drugs of any kind is prohibited. No fireworks or firearms allowed. Directors may expel any camper for reasons of misconduct.
Clothing
All dress should be casual but modest. No short shorts, spaghetti strap tops, or tight fitting tops. Girls are to wear a modest one-piece swimsuit. Boys are to wear a shirt at all times, except when at the pool. No cut off shirts, or shirts with inappropriate words or designs. Shoes must be worn at all times. Horton Haven staff reserves the right to ask any camper to change their clothing if it is deemed inappropriate.
Lost and Found
Please make sure all your child’s clothing and personal items are marked. We end up with 2-4 large yard bags every week full of towels, clothes, shoes, Bibles, etc. Clothing and personal articles are the responsibility of the camper. No liability is assumed for items left on the premises. Items not claimed within two weeks of the end of your child’s camp session will be given to Goodwill. You must pick up any items that have been found for you. If you live more than one and half hours from camp, we will mail it to you. Thank you for your help in this matter.
Phone Use
Please do not call your child at camp or ask them to call home unless it is an emergency as this ties up the business line. We appreciate your cooperation in this matter.
