Elevation camp strives for a positive atmosphere where children can learn more about God, experience His great love for us, and have fun. Children are not perfect and we are here to help guide children to behave in acceptable ways. In summary, we provide General Redirects and we implement a Counting Technique where campers are given two opportunities to make better choices before earning a Break from activities.
However, if a child is repeatedly interfering with the enjoyment and/or safety of others and is not responding to redirections, conversations, breaks, or other such consequences the director will reserve the right to suspend or dismiss a child from Elevation Camp. Dismissal from camp is only for the current season and the child’s attendance for future seasons may be revisited. The Hands Off Policy indicates that we do not tolerate inappropriate or unsafe physical contact. For a full description of our discipline policy, please refer to the Camp Handbook.

If your child has been on medication and/or NO LONGER exhibits any of the symptoms listed for at least 24 hours, they are welcome to attend camp.
If a child becomes sick while in our care, we will contact the parents/family to pick up the child immediately.

For minor changes in weather (hotter days, light rain), camp activities and schedule will be adjusted accordingly. Extra shade, extra shelter, and/or increase water consumption will be made available
In the event of extreme weather (storms or heat), the camp will notify via email if camp will be closed. In the event of extreme weather causing the need for early dismissal, the camp will notify via email and calls.
-
We practice and promote modesty for all campers and counselors. All campers and counselors should feel comfortable and appropriate. No one should worry about what they or others are wearing.
We teach that God created us, each special and unique. We must honor our bodies and learn that beauty comes from within, not our outward appearance.
“Your beauty should not come from outward adornment… Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.” 1 Peter 3:3-4
Regular: Sneakers, t-shirts, and shorts are best for the daily activities at camp. Shorts for all must reach at least halfway down the thigh. Clothing with explicit images and language, inappropriate references, and content contrary to what is taught in the Bible will not be allowed to be worn.
Swimming: Non-white t-shirts, swim shirts, & rash guards are acceptable, as long as the midriff (stomach) is covered. For some smaller girls, shorts may also be needed.
If a camper is not wearing appropriate attire for the day or for swimming, they will be given a loaned shirt if available the first time. If a camper continues to come without the proper attire, parents will be called to bring appropriate clothes/swim clothes. Otherwise the camper may not be able to participate in certain activities or a purchase of a t-shirt will be needed.
-
To make camp safe, fun, and comfortable for all, we:

Keep safe hands and feet always
Ask permission to leave the area or go to the bathroom
Go to the counselor or director if something is wrong
Someone is hurt

Something happens that doesn’t seem right
Always assume the best in everyone
Have a positive attitude

Summer 2025 we reduced the price from $175 to $170 for Elevation Camp to absorb partial cost of the Active registration fees for the families to help ease the increase in total payment ($180 per week for families). However, with the increase in minimum wage in CT, our weekly prices have also increased. Our weekly price of $185 strives to be competitive and affordable while still maintaining a great team of counselors and supervising staff. Thank you for understanding and choosing Elevation Camp!

Registration closes the Monday before each session week begins. However, if you want to register your child after that, you may inquire and with the approval of the director, there will also be a late fee of $15 added to the week’s price.
-
“Active” is the registration website we use to take registrations and process payments. Active itself has a processing fee that adds a small percentage of your registration to your total. The best way to pay is through the Active website directly.

A partial Week offers families who have varying schedules. While there is no exchanging one day for another per policy, we hope this will help families with Christ-centered childcare at an affordable rate.

The 2-Day Partial Week is Tuesdays & Thursdays ONLY from 9am-3pm including lunch, snack, and all the regular camp day activities.
Some activities will vary depending on which partial week option you should choose. Extended Care may be added as per usual.
