Here is helpful information you need to know. Anything missing? Contact Us! We’ll have the answer, find the answer, or make one up! (Just kidding.)

Getting to Camp: Please arrive on time.  See our Maps & Directions page.

Arrival and Departure: We are intentional about doing all we can to create an inviting atmosphere when you arrive. We will have plenty of staff to greet you, to get you signed in, and to assist campers in getting their belongings to the right location.

Please do not arrive early as we will be saying good-bye to guests who are leaving that day. Please do not arrive late as you will miss out on important connecting times.

Cancellations: We understand that on occasion, there may be a need to cancel. Please let us know as soon as possible. Some camps have a waiting list. A portion of the camp fee is non-refundable and the amount depends on the date of cancellation.

Cell Phones, Electronics, and Internet: TLCC has a land line telephone located in the main office that is accessible 24 hours a day during any event, as well as most staff carrying cell phones, should the need for one arise. Cell phones are not permitted during youth camps and retreats. Because of our location, some find that reception is difficult. In that event, you are welcome to use our phones.

Safety and Security: There is good reason to feel secure; we place a very high priority on safety. Our staff is trained in emergency procedures for severe weather, unknown person on camp property, lost camper, lost swimmer, fire, and basic first aid. And last but certainly the most important, we have an army of prayer warriors, and we pray for God's protection over our camp and each camper.

Canteen: The Canteen is open daily. The usual camp goodies can be found: candy, frozen treats, snack crackers and chips, cookies, etc. We are also happy to let you know we offer healthier options too! Such as: cheese, fruit, whole grain crackers, granola bars, bottled water, popcorn, and more. While there is an additional charge, we keep prices as low as we can.

Camp Store: Come and see our NEW logo wear items with our famous tag line, "A fun place to get serious." T-shirts, hats, hoodies, flannel pants, bags, stuffed animals, beach towels, blankets, water bottles, and MORE!

Fieldstone Coffee: Once again Fieldstone Coffee will be open during select hours during camp. You can order different coffees, teas, smoothies, as well as pizza, popcorn, and yummy pastries. Come on in! Play a game. Sit by the fire. Connect with friends. It’s the place to be!

Laundry: We are not able to provide laundry facilities to our guests. However, in the event of an emergency due to illness, a big paint spill, or something along those lines, our summer staff will make sure needs are met and clothing is cared for. Again, camp is a great place to be comfy and wear those clothes that CAN get dirty.

Lost and Found: As you might imagine, our lost and found pile is pretty mountainous by the end of summer. Lost and found items will be returned to you via mail. We do ask that you reimburse the cost of postage. A return address envelope with the amount due will be enclosed with your returned item. Items are kept for 30 days before they are donated to local charities.

Weather: Regarding severe weather, our staff has been trained in emergency procedures and we instruct every camper during the opening session on how to react in case of an emergency. Our primary storm shelter is the Craft Hall, a concrete room under Harvest Hall. We also have a tornado siren on our property that is operated by the Calhoun County Law Enforcement Center with direction from the National Weather Service. It is loud and works very well! We make very effective use of weather radios to alert us if needed.

Do NOT Bring to Camp:

▪ Items of great value or that cannot be replaced – things get lost at camp. The less you have to keep track of, the more you will relax and enjoy camp!

▪ Portable electronic devices

▪ Carbonated beverages: We have cooled vending machines with soda, water, flavored water and tea. (energy drinks are made available only during Sr. High/Impact week)

▪ Non-prescribed drugs, illegal drugs

PROHIBITED at Camp: alcoholic beverages, tobacco products, fireworks, weapons, inappropriate reading material
