ANSWER |
| Can
my friend attend without being a church member? |
Any
teenager or child may attend Grand Mesa Camp. However, signing up
for the right age group is important. The camp Dean plans activities and
discussions age appropriate and having campers in the correct age group
helps maintain this standard. |
| Where
do we stay? |
Cabins
hold 8 campers and two adults. The cabins have bunk beds, a mirror and
dressing table. The Bathrooms (separate buildings) have toilets
and showers and are located among the cabins. |
| What
do I wear? |
Camp
sits on top of a 10,000 foot mountain; afternoon temperature may reach
80’ but evenings will be cool. Rain and mosquitoes also determine what
you wear. We recommend layers, long sleeve shirts, and long pants, two
pairs of sturdy shoes for hiking rough terrain, jacket sweatsCapri’s’
and long shorts are acceptable. Wear sunscreen. Dress appropriately for
outdoor activities in a Christian setting. |
| Do
you accommodate special diets? |
The
cooks prepare meals for 100-150 campers and staff. We recommend
that you bring extra food is you have difficult allergies; call the camp
cook early to discuss your needs. |
| Can
I bring my mountain bike? |
A
bike helmet is essential for riding. Usually mountain biking is
limited to afternoon free time. |
| Why
can’t I bring my MP3 player or IPod? |
The
camping experience centers on positive friendships and spiritual growth.
Enjoying the sounds of nature is part of the mountain top experience and
some of the music on you PDF may not be appropriate. |
| Am
I safe from bears? |
A
couple of bears have traveled into the camp area. We encourage
campers to not keep food in the cabin. Be alert when walking quietly.
Bears are not aggressive and do not attack unless provoked or
threatened. Being Bear-Wise means staying out of the pathway of the bear
and slowly moving away from the bear. If a bear is seen several times,
the Forest Service traps and re-locates the bear. |
| I’m
not super religious; will I fit into the group? |
At
High School camp we work to include everyone and as long as they know
that this is a Christian camp and respect that then everyone can fit in.
Our hope is that all will develop a personal relationship with Christ,
but for some this is a first step toward that, others it will be an on
going journey.
Camps
focus on developing positive relationships between you and Christ and
developing Christian habits and friendship. You decide. |
| What
activities are available? |
Hiking,
fishing, boating, and mountain biking are just a few of the activities
available. Baron Lake is a chilly 50’ thus we don’t swim. |
| What
are the rules? |
Respect
yourself, others and things. Also the cabin restrictions you from
entering a cabin that you are not staying in and guys and gals cabins
are off limit to the opposite sex. |
| Any
other questions? |
