Questions
When is camp?
Summer Camp takes place over two sessions, each one week long. Session 1 of 2025 is from June 22-28, and Session 2 is from June 29-July 5. Winter Camp 2025 will be from February 14-17th.
How do I register my camper?
When registration opens for the next camping session, a link to register will be in a banner on our homepage.
What are the ages for summer and winter camp?
In the summer, campers can be from 9-17 years old. 17 year olds can apply to serve as Counselors-In-Training. 18 and older we invite to apply as a CIT, counselor, program staff member, or volunteer. Winter Camp is offered for campers aged 12-17.
Where is camp located?
Summer Camp is hosted at Asbury Hills Camp and Retreat Center in Cleveland, South Carolina. Winter Camp 2025 will be at Woodland Christian Camp, in Temple, Georgia.
What do my campers need to pack?
A packing list will be emailed to the address that you used to sign your campers up.
What is the check-in and check-out process?
This process updates slightly each year in order to make sure that we are at our most efficient. Typically campers drive to camp with their parents or carpool with another family; some churches with large numbers of campers send vans or buses. Some campers fly to and from camp, and they need to coordinate with our staff closely to ensure that we have chaperones available to take them to and from the airport. Typically check in and check out take place in the morning-early afternoon.
Are there scholarships available for campers in financial need?
Yes! The Order of St. Ignatius very generously offers scholarships to campers in financial need each year for summer camp. This year they are distributing up to $1,000 to each parish in the Antiochian Archdiocese to apply to the tuition of campers. If you attend a parish that belongs to the Antiochian Archdiocese, sk your parish priest to fill out this google form to secure the scholarships needed for your parish. The scholarship can be split between up to ten campers. Reminder that before the scholarships can be applied to your account, all missing paperwork and medical forms must be submitted.
​
If you and your camper attend a parish outside of the Antiochian Archdiocese, or if the St. Ignatius parish scholarship will not be sufficient for your financial needs, please contact us using our Contact page so we can work with you directly.

How much does camp cost?
Our Admin Committee sets our camp tuition each year based on the costs of renting campgrounds and our expenses, to account for inflation. Happily, we are able to keep tuition for Winter Camp 2025 at the same level as last year, and so it will be $230 (+ a $7 credit card fee) per camper.
My camper has an allergy, I need to upload the FARE allergy form for their registration.
