Camper Guidelines

FOR WINTER CAMP
At Michigan Christian Youth Camp we strive to provide an environment that promotes Christian growth.
We believe each camper is a gift from God and they should have a safe and fulfilling camp experience.
We want to have a place free from anything that could distract or hinder their spiritual growth and 
​appreciate your help in creating this safe place for the campers to experience Christ.
Thank​ you for your understanding.

Check-In & Pick-Up

Check –In: Upon arrival to camp, please register upstairs at Hawley Lodge between 7-8:30pm on Friday.
​There you will receive your dorm room and group information. Balances due will be collected at this time. 

​Pick-Up: At Hawley Lodge, campers will need to sign-out on Sunday between 11am-12pm.
BALANCE DUE
 Parents/Guardians can verify your current account balance using our online portal at your convenience.
If you have any questions regarding your balance, please contact the camp office.

Food Allergies & Concerns

MCYC is able to accommodate nut free, gluten free, dairy free & vegetarian diets. All food restrictions need to be listed in the Camper Health Form that is available at the end of May. If restrictions are not listed prior to attending camp, we cannot guarantee suitable replacements for your camper. If your camper has allergies outside of our accommodations, you may need to supplement their meal options. Please contact the Food Service Director, [email protected], at least 2 weeks prior to your camp session to discuss the menu and any additions you will need to provide.

Dress Code

While at MCYC, each camper will require clothes appropriate for all the activities they are participating in.
​We ask that all campers adhere to the following guidelines:
  • Tops with shoulders that are at least three fingers in width. All tops should be long enough to be tucked in.
  • Shorts that are below the fingertips and/or fall to mid thigh when standing straight, arms to the side.
  • One-piece swimsuits (or tankini with no midriff showing). T-shirt and shorts over bathing suits when outside the waterfront area.
Clothing that is inappropriate for MCYC activities:
  • Halter-tops, sundresses, bare midriff tops, strapless tops, spaghetti straps
  • Athletic muscle shirts & cut-off t-shirts
  • Pants/sweatpants or shorts with wording on the buttocks
  • Yoga pants
  • Shorts, hats, pants, or other clothing with inappropriate messages for alcohol, tobacco products, profanity, sexual references or drugs.

Lost Items

MCYC is not responsible for items left behind, lost, or stolen. Any lost and found items not claimed after 7 days are donated to a char- itable organization.

​Due to the excessive cost of shipping (and the number of items that tend to get lost) we are unable to mail lost items. We are willing to make arrangements at the cost of the camper family to return items if necessary.
​
TIPS TO REDUCE RISK OF LOSING ITEMS:
  • Label all items with camper’s first and last name
  • Check the porch at Hawley Lodge before you leave 
  • Send old stuff to camp, just in case!
