How much does camp cost?
Camp registration is $50 per camper for one week-long session. This cost includes a light breakfast, lunch, and snack each day, water bottle, t-shirt, and camper gift.
What will my camper be doing each day?
Throughout the day, campers participate in a wide range of activities including: adventure ropes course, zipline, basketball, archery, fishing, canoeing, mountain biking, sports, gardening and so much more! Each camper will also participate in one art class each morning. Classes vary from year to year but have included: drama, art, painting, spoken word, ukulele, rhythm, dance, and choir.
Campers are separated into family groups for the week. Each family group is gender-specific and will consist of other campers around the same age. A counselor and counselor-in-training will lead each family group. Family groups compete for points each day by memorizing Bible verses, creating group cheers, and learning the camp rap. Family groups also discuss how to grow closer to God.
The entire camp comes together each morning and afternoon. Campers are able to enjoy skits, hear from Christian speakers, learn from the Word of God, and get hyped up for Jesus.
What is the camp drop-off and pick-up schedule?
Camp is Monday-Friday from 9:00 am to 5:30 pm. The front gate will open promptly at 9:00 am for drop-off and will open promptly at 5:30 pm for pick-up. Shiloh Camp does not offer before or aftercare or transportation to and from camp.
Campers MUST attend camp on Monday or they will forfeit their camp reservation, unless you have pre-approval from a Shiloh staff member. To request pre-approval, please email info@shilohcamp.org.
What if my camper needs to be dropped-off late or picked-up early?
Any late drop-off or early pick-up times MUST be pre-approved by the Shiloh staff team. Please email info@shilohcamp.org with your specific situation.
Late Drop-Off
If your camper is late to camp, bring them to the Shiloh office to sign-in. Office staff will direct the camper to their family group based on the schedule.
Early Pick-Up
In order to accommodate the camp schedule, Shiloh Adventures requests that all early pickups happen before 3:30 pm. At 3:30 pm, campers enter free time, which makes finding a specific camper difficult. The front gate will close at 3:30 pm until dismissal at 5:30 pm.
Parents or an authorized pick-up person must come to the Shiloh office to sign-out their camper. Office staff will assist in finding the camper.

What if there is bad weather?
Shiloh Adventures intends to stay open and provide a fun camp experience. However, in the event of severe weather, Shiloh Adventures may cancel a day of camp or require early camper pick-up. The safety of campers and their families is a top priority. Shiloh Adventures has a severe weather policy and plan in place if needed.
All decisions regarding camp cancellation will be communicated via text message, email and social media.
Is there a nurse on site?
Shiloh Adventures has a nurse on staff during summer camp. However, the nurse may not necessarily be on site at all times. The camp nurse or a camp staff member may administer basic first-aid, dispense non-prescription and/or over the counter medications on an as needed basis. Parents/Guardians may opt out of their camper receiving non-prescription and/or over the counter medications while at camp.
In the event of a more serious, but still minor, illness or injury, the parent/guardian and/or emergency contact will be notified by phone. Based on the illness or injury, the camper may need to be picked-up before the end of the camp day.
In the event of a serious illness or injury, we will contact 911 and the parent/guardian and/or emergency contact will be notified by phone.
