Registration includes two snacks per day, a camp t-shirt, and five days of camp — Monday to Thursday 7:45AM-5:00PM and Friday 7:45AM-12PM.

*For Franklin, TN - Monday to Thursday 7:45AM-4:00PM and Friday 7:45AM - 12PM.

*For Bethlehem, GA - Monday to Thursday 8:00AM-4:00PM and Friday 8:00AM - 12PM.

Campers need to bring a lunch (unless provided by community) and water bottle. Campers do not need a backpack.

Please do not bring the following items to camp as a way to make sure your campers favorite things do not get lost or damaged: electronics, stuffed animals, and toys.

Snacks are included. Campers bring their own lunch (unless provided by community), and we ask that you put the campers name some where visible on their lunch box/bag.

As a precaution, please do not pack any peanuts in your campers lunch.

Your camper needs to wear comfy clothes (i.e. gym shorts and a t-shirt) that you don't mind getting a little messy. We also ask that your campers wear closed-toed shoes. Make sure to apply plenty of sunscreen as some of our activities and recreation will take place outdoors.

There is no early drop-off or late pickup. If you need to pick up your camper early for any reason, please make sure you do so before 4:15. 

For Bethlehem, Nolensville, and Franklin, early pick-up stops at 3:15.

Each group, or what we call a "Pack," has around 18 -20 kids. Local church volunteers and Connect Camps counselors team up to lead groups. 

We see camp as a great opportunity for your campers to make new friends in their age group. You can request for your camper to be in the same group as a friend in your registration under "special concerns," but we cannot make any guarantees.

At the end of each day, we’ll send your camper home with some great questions and topics to continue the conversation about what they learned at camp around your dinner table.

Connect Camps is committed to offering a remarkable and safe experience for all campers. Because our team does not provide individualized or one-on-one care, participation for children with special needs depends on the support available from the Host Church and its volunteers. Families whose children may require additional assistance should contact the local Host Church before registering to confirm whether the appropriate support can be provided.

Scholarships, or discounts, are given out by the church that is hosting your week of camp. If you have questions about who to get in contact with at your location, feel free to contact us at (706) 310-6055 and we will get you in touch with the right people.

We'll miss seeing you this summer! If you cancel your reservation more than 30 days prior to the camp start date, you will be refunded the total of all payments made minus the $50 non-refundable deposit. If you cancel your reservation less than 30 days prior to the camp start date, you will be refunded half the amount of payments made minus the $50 non-refundable deposit.

Staff are recruited by trained campus representatives. Connect Camps also requires references from previous employers or local ministers. Additionally, each recruit submits to a thorough background check, one-on-one interview, and an extensive initial training process. Returning counselors are evaluated on their past summer’s performance. Connect Camps provides ongoing coaching and development with performance reviews, including reviews of the activities and small groups they lead.
