Arrival/Departure:
Campers should plan to arrive at Camp on Monday, July 15th between 10:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. and leave Friday, July 19th around Noon.

Parents Reception:
On Friday, July 19th at 10:00 am all parents are invited to a reception in the Douwstra Auditorium Balcony.   We'll have a short program letting you know what your child(ren) did during camp and answer any questions you have regarding the week.  Then you will be able to join us for our closing ceremony and meet up with your child(ren).  

Transportation:
Transportation to and from camp is the responsibility of the camper. Contact the Central/Western Iowa FCA Office at (515) 727-1868 for pick-up and drop-off guidelines for the Des Moines International Airport. Early arrivals will have an additional cost.

Directions:
Directions to campus are available on-line. A campus map will be mailed to registered campers two weeks prior to camp. This map will show specific drop-off & pick-up locations.

Facilities:
Housing, Meeting Rooms & Cafeteria are air-conditioned. Central has a beautiful campus with a canal running through it. The Cafeteria is a "Food Court" with multiple choices.

Housing/Roommates/Keys:
Campers and their huddle leaders will be housed in Central College's dormitory. For over 56 years the FCA Camps program has worked best when friends, classmates and siblings are not housed together at Camp. Roommate requests will not be honored. (Special situations will be reviewed.)

This year all campers will be issued a room key in order to keep their belongings safe in their room.  Keys not returned at the conclusion of camp will result in a $75 fee. 

Cell Phones & Electronic Devices:
While we know there's nothing we can do about students bringing cell phones or electronic devices and keeping them in their rooms, we do STRONGLY encourage you not to send a them with your student to camp. Part of the camp experience is being submerged in a different culture, away from the distractions of the "world". These items detract and hinder your child's and other camper's camp experience. If your student needs to get a hold of you, all they need to do is ask one of the camp staff (who are always in close proximity) and they will give them access to a phone. If you need to get a hold of your child during camp, call one of the camp staff (numbers will be posted at a later date) and within minutes they can get to your child and allow you to talk. Plus, if your child does not have a cell phone at camp it encourages him/her to be independent in a positive way.
