SPIRITUAL EMPHASIS

WEEKLY SCHEDULE We are hard at work preparing a program for this summer that will be exciting for each camper who joins us. While the final details of this program will not be laid down until just before camp, we can give you a general picture of what a typical day will look like. The following elements will be part of each day at The Coast:

Breakfast: Every meal at camp is served family style and contains a variety of hot food, fruit, and cereal. For campers with food allergies, please check our website for a list of food ingredients and a weekly menu, or send an email to flregistrar@wol.org for an allergen guide.

Morning Rally: Each day one of our dynamic Bible teachers will open the Word in a practical way. Youth leaders, parents, and chaperones are welcome to attend any of the morning or evening rallies.

Quiet Time: Each morning, campers and counselors will spend intentional time in God’s Word. Campers will be taught how to do an effective Quiet Time, the importance of Quiet Time, and will be helped in the formation of this important discipline.

Morning Activity: Team competition will fill the remainder of the morning as the program team delivers games that are fun, engaging, and challenging.

Lunch: (See Breakfast)

Afternoon: Every afternoon is filled with numerous activities for the campers to enjoy. They may choose to play in sports tournaments, enjoy the swimming pool, waterslide, snack shack, climbing tower or camp store. For a full list of activities, see the “activities” section below.

Dinner: (See Breakfast)

Evening Rally: Each evening a pumped-up rally gets everyone excited about what it means to live for Christ as various speakers cover important topics such as salvation, dedication, and service. Great music, thought-provoking drama, and even some competition will complement the message.

Night Activities: A flurry of activities is planned for the remainder of each evening. There will be team games or special events for camper participation. Then before lights out, each cabin will be led in devotions by one of their counselors, ending the day with God’s Word and prayer.

CAMPER BEHAVIORAL POLICY We have four main rules at camp that help us ensure each camper is safe and has a great week at camp.

Campers are expected to be at every scheduled event such as meals, meetings, and activities.

Campers cannot bring any items we define as contraband. See the packing list below for examples of contraband.

Campers are expected to refrain from any inappropriate physical contact with others.

Campers will not engage in aggressive behavior (verbal or physical). We have a strict NO BULLYING policy. Campers may be sent home after the first instance of this behavior.

If campers disobey the above rules, parents or youth leaders will be contacted. At the discretion of the Camp Director, Word of Life Fellowship reserves the right to dismiss any individual whose behavior is disruptive, abusive, or otherwise inappropriate. In such cases, no refund will be provided. Any costs related to relocation or additional expenses incurred by Word of Life Fellowship will be the responsibility of the participant or, if under 18, the participant’s parent/guardian.

FAQ’s Are there any additional charges for campers?

We try to keep our additional charges to a minimum. A list of additional charges can be found in the Camp Activities section of the Info Packet

What if a camper is coming in by plane? Round trip van shuttle from Tampa International or St. Pete Airport is available. Please call the Conference Center Front Desk at least 48 hours in advance to reserve your transportation: 727-379-5000. The charge is $40 per person, per way.

What are the cabin facilities like? Campers sleep on bunk beds in air-conditioned cabins with bathroom facilities inside each cabin. Each room houses up to 12 campers and 2 counselors. Groups are automatically housed together as much as possible unless requested otherwise. When a large group exceeds the cabin size, they will be housed by age unless requests are made.

What is the food like? The food at camp is prepared under strict supervision, ensuring a well-balanced diet each day. Meals are served family style, allowing campers to eat as much as they desire, with optional sandwiches and cereal available at every meal for picky eaters. Candy and snacks can be purchased at the Snack Shack, and campers are welcome to bring their own snacks and drinks. If your camper has food allergies, download our allergen guide for more information.

What is the Camper Bank Card? We recommend campers put their spending money on their Camper Bank Card. This card can be used for activities, pizza, the snack shack, the camp store, etc. The amount of spending money your camper brings is up to the parent. Word of Life is not responsible for any money or items not deposited in the bank. You may call 727-379-5000, Ext. 0 to set up a camper bank account prior to arrival. At the end of the week, any camper bank accounts with a balance of $5 or less will be donated to the Life Change Scholarship or One for One fund.

What if I forget things at camp? Please put your name on every item you bring to camp – including clothing. Lost and found articles are returned COD upon claim by parents, up to 30 days after the end of their camping week. Call 727-379-5000 for lost items.
