GOT QUESTIONS?
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do the RV sites have electric hook-ups, fresh water fill-up, or waste dump stations?
Unfortunately this particular camp site is dry camping only, meaning there is not any electric hook-ups, fresh water access, or waste dump stations.
If I choose to stay in a cabin, what do sleeping arrangements consist of?
Each cabin is furnished with 4-5 bunk beds with mattresses. You will need to provide sleeping bags, bedding, and pillows. Also please note, food is NOT permitted in the cabins.
Will there be onsite bathrooms and showers?
Yes, there will be access to toilets and showers. The showers are free and available for use, but keep in mind Mt. Meadows Camp Ground is normally used for a kids camp so the showers may seem small.
I do no feel comfortable participating or I'm physically unable to participate in activities. Will I be required to participate?
No, all activities will be optional, but we would love for everyone to participate so we can create new friendships and lasting memories.
August is so hot, how will we escape the heat?
The camp has a huge water slide, small pond, and creek on the premise that are all available for use. We will also have lots of fun water games planned for the weekend.
I have small kids, will they enjoy this camp?
Absolutely! We will have lessons that are geared for children, games, and other fun activities for them to participate in. Childcare is not provided, so you are responsible for the supervision of your children throughout the weekend.
I am single, is Family Camp for me?
Yes! Family camp is designed for everyone at Valley. Whether you have 10 kids, single, or widowed you are part of our church family and this camp is for you.
What about meals? Do I need to bring food or cook?
All meals are included into the cost of the weekend, so you will not need to cook. Ask anyone that has been to Mt. Meadows Camp and they will assure you the food is amazing.
I really want to go, but I cannot pay the full amount upfront. Can I make an initial payment?
Yes, please either contact the church office or Kristina Bambino (her contact is below the FAQ section).
What is the cancellation policy?
All family camp slots are on a first come first serve basis based on full completion of payment. In order to guarantee your spot we recommend registering early. However, if you need to cancel after payment is received, refunds can only be credited for the cost of the food. You can however, have someone find someone to fill your slot(s) and reimburse you for the cost.
I'm not very physically mobile due to disability or age. Will I be able to participate?
Yes. The camp is very open, and we will help provide assistance to ensure you are able to get around. Please note in the comments section of your registration form if you will need assistance for the weekend.
Do I need to provide my own transportation to Mountain Meadows Camp?
Yes, everyone is responsible for getting to Mountain Meadows Camp Ground. The drive is approximately 30 minutes, is paved, and easy to access.
FAMILY CAMP ADDRESS:
Mountain Meadows Camp Ground
7100 Arrowhead Rd
Shingletown, CA 96088
Are animals allowed? Can I bring my pet?
Unforunately no. Only certified service animals will be permitted. Please leave all other furry friends at home.
On the registration form it asks if I want to share a cabin with another family. Why would I want to do that?
The camp has a limited number of cabins available and most cabins sleep 10 people. We would love to have as many families that want cabins, in a cabin. If you have a smaller family, we encourage you to consider this option, so that more people can enjoy staying in a cabin. Think of all the fun memories you and your kids will build over the weekend getting to spend intentional time with friends!
