Registration FAQ's
When is the deadline for registering?
We operate on a rolling acceptance for camper registration. Returning campers from the previous summer will have their spot held for them until September 15th, after which new campers can fill open spots. Although most terms will fill up during the winter, wait lists are formed in order to fill open spots created from cancellations.
Should I still register my child if the term I want is on a wait list?
Yes, we usually dig deep into the wait list before the summer arrives, therefore it is a good idea to apply for the term you want regardless of availability. In addition we encourage you to apply for another term and if a spot opens up in your first choice term, you may transfer your enrollment (see question above).
Can my child be registered for a term that is full (our first choice), but also be registered for another term with the hope that they will get into their first choice?
Yes, it is common practice to register for more than one term as long as a preference order is clear. Registering your child for a term with a wait list AND registering them for another term, gives you the security that your child WILL be able to attend camp, but also leaves open the chance that they will get into the term you most desire. Enrollments can be transferred if a spot opens in your first choice (wait listed) term.
If my child is on a wait list can I get my deposit back if they do not ‘get in’ to camp?
Yes, if your child never gets accepted into a term, then your entire deposit is refundable. If you have chosen to pay by credit card, it will be refunded back to your card.
If I have to cancel my registration do I get the deposit or tuition payment back?
Reimbursements ARE available for cancellations, however, the reimbursement amounts are based on WHEN the cancellation was made. After your camper is accepted into a term, $10 is not refundable. After January 1st, $50 is not refundable. After March 1st, full deposit is not refundable. Full tuition is not refundable within three weeks prior to your term. Full refunds are available from the wait list at any time.
What is the cost for sending my child to camp?
2025 Tuition for the Summer One term is $650 by check and $675 if paid by credit card. A two week term tuition is $950 by check and $975 by credit card.
Why is there a difference in tuition if paying by credit card vs. cash?
As a non-profit organization, we have chosen to give a cash discount to those who pay with cash (check). We do all we can to keep your tuition costs as low as possible.
What is the difference between Lake Gloria and the Que?
Our camps at Lake Gloria and the Que are about 96% percent the same. Both camps have great facilities, wonderful people, and use the same strategies (competitive athletics, challenging activities, wilderness trips, community living, Bible study, and purposeful programming) to engage campers.
There are, however, slight differences in the facilities, activities, and program at each camp. Most hour-long activities are identical at each camp, but Lake Gloria offers waterskiing while the Que offers sailing. Another minor difference involves the daily “optional” period where campers select what they would like to do. At the Que, during “optional”, campers choose a sports-specific clinic called a “major” (e.g. basketball, soccer, boating, dance) to participate in during half of those optional periods.
In the grand scheme of things, these differences are minor. We aim to give your camper a tremendous experience wherever they end up!
Can I request cabin mates for my child?
Yes, you may request that your child be in a cabin with friends as long as they are similar in age (within 1 year). Please understand that we cannot honor all requests but we do our best to accommodate as many requests as we can. You can write up to two cabin requests anywhere on the application or in the Cabinmate Request field.
How does the Romans and Galatians team placement work?
Returning campers will remain on the team they were on in years prior. Immediate family will always be on the same team (does not include cousins). New campers with no family history will be placed on a team in such a way to make competitive divisions equal (10 Romans and 10 Galatians). Team requests are very difficult to accommodate due to the return rate of campers. Once a child is placed on a team they are on that team for life.
