Registration will be in the large white barn type building this year, we have greeters to help guide you to where to go and haul luggage.
Typically registration can last 20-30 minutes depending on if you prepaid, have medications and where your cabin is located. We have people with golf carts available for people needing assistance getting around, just ask at registration.

You can mail letters to 1026 Camp Jim Rd SW Pillager, MN 56473. Attn: child’s name.
We discourage calls as it may cause home sickness, but you are welcome to contact the office 218-829-6767 and we will connect you with your child.

Yes, Just talk to the registration staff and they can provide you with the form you need so that your child can be picked up and dropped off at prearranged times.
How do I pick up my child at the end of camp?
All youth camps end at 2:30 with a special awards or program. This will be located in a designated area marked when you arrive. The program lasts 30 minutes. For all younger campers you need to check them out with their counselor or designated person.

Policies and what not to bring
- All campers must attend all required activities like meal time and chapels.
- Deposits are refundable till 14 days prior to start of camp. With the exception of medical emergencies.
- Cell phones are not allowed at camp. If one is found it will be turned into the office for safe keeping and returned at end of camp week. It is our desire that campers are able to “unplug” during the week allowing them to fully experience camp and all it has to offer. Not having cell phones removes distractions, increases safety and prevents inappropriate pictures from being posted. If your camper needs to call home they can ask their counselor and arrangements can be made.
