Summer Camp Parent Portal

Hello! I’m excited for another great summer at CRC! A lot of planning takes place to make this summer a memorable experience for you and your child.

My counseling staff at CRC is aware of the responsibility we have caring for your child for a week. Collectively, it is a responsibility we gladly and joyfully accept. It’s my goal as Camp Director that every child who attends our summer programs feel cared for, listened to, and know they are loved by Jesus and the CRC team. Just as important, I also desire that every parent feels confident that CRC is a safe place for their child.

Before the summer programs start, all camp counselors come to CRC for a week of training. The goal of the week is to have a unified staff that will walk in obedience to Jesus throughout the summer and the rest of their lives. During the week, we take time to go over safety procedures, participate in team building activities, and have daily Bible Studies as we prepare our hearts for a summer of ministry. Throughout the week, everyone feels the excitement build as we prepare to welcome campers to our grounds!

Take confidence that CRC does everything possible to have a safe, yet fun week of camp! We look forward to spending a week of camp with your child so that they may experience, hear, and feel the peace and hope of Jesus. Please do not hesitate to contact me at the camp. As a parent myself, I fully understand that having your questions answered can help you enjoy your child’s week of camp a whole lot more. I will do my best to answer any questions, comments, or concerns you may have leading into the summer.
