Question 1

What are the sleeping arrangements for the camp?

Accepted Answer

At Storm King Youth Camp, we offer multiple different sleeping arrangements to suit your personal needs and preferences. You can either camp out on our beautiful lakeside property, or book your own private accommodation near by.

Please note that you are required to bring all your own camping gear, including your own tent.

For safety reasons, we ask that all campers must not enter any other family's tents.

We offer a range of fun, age-appropriate games and activities, such as water sports, bible studies, presentations, and bonfires, all aimed to build your child(ren)'s faith and relationship with God, as well as to foster beautiful, Christian friendships.

We also offer Mass, personal prayer & reflection time, and the Holy Sacraments, such as Confession, the Holy Eucharist, and Adoration.
 
We have adequate supervision at all times during these activities, and youth will be free to participate according to their capabilities.

If you would like to find out more about the activities or have any concerns about your child(ren) participating, please feel free to contact us.

Question 3

What kind of food options are available at the camp?

Accepted Answer

We fully cater for breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner.

We also accommodate for any food allergies and dietary restrictions that you may have. If you have specific dietary needs, please let us know ahead of time so that we can make appropriate arrangements.

Campers are most welcome to bring their own snacks for the course of the camp; however, out of courtesy to youth with allergy's, please refrain from bringing any food items containing nuts.

Question 4

Are phones allowed?

Accepted Answer

We believe in fostering genuine connections and creating a space free of every-day distractions, so we encourage campers to embrace the opportunity to disconnect from technology and place their full focus on their relationship with the Lord and the beautiful people around them.

We ask that on arrival mobile phones be given into the care of camp organizers and if they wish to communicate to parents than the phones can be returned for that purpose only.
