limited number of Stronghold

information. (Many churches
also provide their own

Mail,
Phone & Computers
Letters
from home make the transition
to camp life easier.
Send mail the day camp
begins to ensure timely
delivery to your camper.
Please limit e-mail
to one per day, per
camper, and do not send
attachments with e-mail
messages. Stronghold’s
email address is summercampinfo@strongholdcenter.org
(please include the
camper’s name
and camp in the subject).
Campers will not have
access to phones or
computers while at camp.
Bible
Study
Each
day we have Bible study
that is from a specially
written curriculum.
We also have morning
devotions and camper
led evening worship.
This year’s theme
is “On the Way.”
Biblical Characters
are constantly on a
journey of faith with
God. Campers will hear
about these stories
and be invited to take
their own journeys –
to camp, within the
camp community, and
back home. We keep in
mind that not all of
our campers are Presbyterian
and our curriculum reflects
this.
Payment
Policy
One
half of camp fee is
due at the time of registration
and the balance is due
2 weeks before your
camp begins. Please
make checks payable
to Stronghold. Registration
forms postmarked on
or before May
5th will receive
a $25 discount on fees
for most camps (with
the exception of Day
Camp, First Timers,
and Sr. High Ozark Multi-sport
Adventure). Please see
the schedule chart for
specific pricing.
Refunds
Refunds
of total paid, less
$25 processing fee,
will
be made only if cancellation
