Welcome to camp rock 2025
We want to extend a big welcome to all new and returning Camp Rock Ministries Families! The start of your child’s summer camp session at Camp Rock is right around the corner, and we hope you are getting as excited as we are. This summer will be filled will fun, faith and friendships.
Our theme verse for this summer, 1 John 4:9-10, says this: "This is how God showed His love among us: He sent His one and only Son into the world that we might live through Him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins." We will go deeper into the context of this verse by exploring the Book of Jonah. Through Jonah, we see that Jonah pursued his own way, but God pursued Jonah and to redirect him. Jonah then pursued the job all the while God was pursuing Jonah's heart. Pray for your child while they are here at camp that they will understand God's incredible love and His pursuit of us.
You may have a few questions as you begin to prepare for your week of camp, and we hope to answer a few of those with the information listed below. Please feel free to reach out with any additional questions by emailing office@camprock.net or by calling our office at 308-262-1685.

Drop Off
Please register your camper at Notz Chapel between 10:00am & 11:00am on Monday. Notz Chapel is the large, white, metal building on the west side of our property. Please look for the welcome flags at the base of the driveway, located on Highway 88. To keep lines small and the registration process moving quickly, we request that you register according to your last name and the schedule listed below. (If you are dropping off another child with a last name in a different section, choose either option.) These times also spread the load out and will alleviate long lines.

Please refer to our packing list for all you need to bring to camp. In addition to these items, campers are encouraged to bring items related to our theme meals for the week. Our dining hall is transformed with a theme a few times a week where campers and staff come dressed for the fun. This has been a highlight for many years, and we find the more campers get into it, the more fun we have! We have prizes awarded for the best dressed campers!

Medical Forms & Medications
Please complete your child’s medical forms before heading to camp. You can complete the form online by logging back into your Active Network account, or you may print the form and bring the completed paper copy with you to register your child. We will have some forms available at registration, however completing the form ahead of time speeds up the registration process. A completed medical form is required to participate in camp.
Store Accounts
Digital Store Accounts are used to purchase items at our camp store and coffee shop throughout the week and eliminates the need for campers to carry cash. You can place any amount on the store card that you would like (an average amount for a full week of camp is $15). You can prepay by logging onto your Active Network account or pay during registration. Any money remaining on the card at the end of the week will go to an offering for camp scholarships. The coffee shop will open during check-in for families wanting a little pick-me-up for their ride back home or to work. Both the camp store and the coffee shop will be open after the final program on Friday.
Paintball
Paintball is an additional, optional activity for any camper attending our Intermediate, Core and Senior High Camps. Paintball costs $20 and can be prepaid by logging into your CampWise account, or by paying in the registration line.
Allergies/Special dietary needs
We take all food allergies/restrictions very seriously and believe that having the most information possible from parents is the key to keeping your child safe, happy, and well-fed. All allergies and other special dietary needs must be communicated to the camp at least one week before your camper’s arrival. We can easily accommodate gluten, nut, and dairy-free diets. However, if your child has additional needs, we may ask that you help in providing food for them. Please make sure your allergy form is completely updated in your Campwise account. Feel free to contact Pam DeVos (Food Service Manager) at office@camprock.net . with any questions or additional requests.
Cell Phone Policy
Camp Rock, along with summer camps across the country, will continue to enforce a NO camper cell phone policy. We can appreciate the desire for parents and guardians to be in contact with their camper while they are at camp however the risks of allowing campers to have cell phones continue to outweigh the benefits in the camp community. Cell phones continue to advance and offer multi-use functions like camera, video recording, music player, texting, web browsing, and video games that can be a distraction or put campers at risk of emotional injury when misused or unsupervised. In addition to these factors, cell phones can be expensive, and the outdoor camp environment can be hard on electronics. Campers LOVE receiving mail while at camp and we encourage you to write letters or send an email to connect during the week. Some parents have even left pre-written letters with us at registration, to hand out throughout the week.
