Once an acceptable form of Identification has been presented, the person will sign for the camper and (s)he will then receive a pass which allows him/her to leave Calvin Crest Conferences with the camper.

In the event of a cancellation, a $95 Non-Refundable deposit, ($50 Non-Refundable deposit for Day Camps) which is included in the camp fee, will be retained. Refunds are not guaranteed for any cancellation of camp made within the two weeks prior to your camper’s scheduled week. Please call the camp registrar at (559) 683-4450 ext 205 if you need to cancel or if you have any questions or concerns regarding this matter.

Balance Due

Your Camper’s Balance must be PAID IN FULL TWO WEEKS PRIOR to your scheduled camp week. If you are not able to meet this requirement for any reason please contact the camp registrar.

Payment Plans

We understand that due to the economy and other circumstances, coming to camp can cause a financial strain on many families. We can set-up an incremental payment plan so that payments are made in smaller amounts as opposed to one large sum. Please contact us at (559) 683-4450 for more information or to set up a payment plan.

 

Campers with Special Needs

Calvin Crest does, with certain stipulations, accept youth with physical, mental or emotional challenges into its programs. With concern for the individual in the context of Calvin Crest's terrain, altitude, and program involvement, advance notice must be given. Our goal is that everyone would be safe while at camp and all decisions will be made with that in mind. The Director of Calvin Crest Ministries makes final participation approval. Examples of special needs are: chronic/severe asthma, bleeding/clotting disorders, cardiac problems, diabetes, emotional disorders, epilepsy, nervous disorders, physical disability, seizure disorder, or anything requiring injections.

Medication

  • Only medication properly prescribed for the camper will be administered.
  • No prescribed medications will be given to the camper unless it is sent in the original prescription bottle or package and clearly labeled with the camper's name and dosage by the pharmacy.
  • Non-prescription medications and vitamins, in their original packaging, must be labeled with the camper's name.
  • If necessary one inhaler for asthmatic campers may be kept with the camper. Please label inhalers with camper's first and last name.
  • Any controlled substances, such as ADD medication, will be counted by the nurse at registration.
  • Please only bring the needed amounts of medication for the duration of camp.
