Junior High Camp (7th and 8th Grades)
JUNIOR HIGH CAMP
JULY 14 – 19, 2024
Hello! Thanks for registering your student for Junior High Camp at Spring Valley Bible Camp. Your camp dates are July 14-19, 2024. Check-in for this camp will be on Sunday, July 14th between 3 and 5 p.m. Check-out for this camp will be on Friday, July 19 at 9 a.m. The cost for Junior High Camp is $300. You can pay via Venmo @SpringValley1953 or you can mail a check or cash to Spring Valley Bible Camp (2858 180th Street, Muscatine, IA 52761). If you would prefer to drop off payment, please make arrangements with us. Below is some helpful information about camp policies, what to bring, and what not to bring.
We will not be handing out any packages this year. This includes both hand-delivered and mailed packages. There are multiple reasons for this new policy, both to limit people coming and going at camp as well as to limit sharing of food in the cabins. The tradition of packages is one policy that we at Spring Valley have wanted to bring change to prior to COVID-19. Campers from out of town often feel left out of the packages and the pressure to mail packages has increased. The amount of junk food that is consumed in the cabins has also gotten out of hand as well as the spills and messes in the cabin and unwanted pests that can be introduced as well. If you would like to mail your camper letters, that is still definitely encouraged. If you would prefer to drop off letters at the time of your registration to be distributed throughout the week, that will also be welcomed. Any packages received during the week will be held and sent home with the camper at the close of camp.
