All medications/supplements to be taken by your child at camp MUST be listed by name and include the dose, the route, and the time to be taken (E.g. Tylenol 160mg/5ml PO once daily at breakfast). The doctor must sign this list EVERY year. *Over-the counter medications/supplements must be in their original container and be on the signed list of medications/supplements in order for the camp to administer them. *Prescription medication must be in the ORIGINAL box or bottle/container from a licensed pharmacy, and include the pharmacy’s label with the camper’s name, directions for use, and the name of the prescribing practitioner.

Prescription medication must be in the ORIGINAL box or bottle/container from a licensed pharmacy, and include the pharmacy’s label with the camper’s name, directions for use, and the name of the prescribing practitioner.

This includes inhalers and epinephrine devices (Epi-Pens)

If you have two Epi-Pens and do not want to lose the second one, remove one from the box and send one to camp in the original box from the pharmacy. You can also ask the pharmacy to put labels on the box as well as each Epi-Pens device when picking up the original prescription.

The same goes for inhalers: pharmacies can label the box as well as the device at the time of filling the prescription.

Campers may self-carry their inhalers and Epi-Pens IF the physician has signed for him/her to do so, and if the parent has signed the same. Don’t forget to have these listed on the med list. (Hint: you both need to check-mark a box: “may/may not self-carry…” on the medication statements.)

We understand that plans change, therefore Twin Peaks Bible Camp offers a refund policy for cancellations made up to two weeks before the camp date. The refund will include store money deposited into that camper’s account and the camp fee minus a $50 administration fee. Twin Peaks Bible Camp will not offer a refund within 2 weeks of the camp date.

However, you do have the option to purchase a third-party Protection Plan. (See questions below)

There is a lot of work and planning that goes into our summer camps. There are also costs associated with registration and payments. The $50 that is not refunded helps Twin Peaks Bible Camp to cover some of those costs when a camper isn’t able to attend camp, because we have those costs regardless of if your camper attends or not. Thank you for understanding.

If you’re concerned about the possibility of needing to cancel your child’s attendance within two weeks of their week of camp, due to unforeseen circumstances, such as unforeseen health issues that may arise, illness, or a death in your immediate family, Regpack offers Purchase Protection Insurance as an optional add-on to your cart. Please understand this is not offered by Twin Peaks Bible Camp. This is a third-party insurance plan. It is an optional purchase. This insurance provides a full refund in case your child is unable to attend camp for specific reasons. Please be sure to read the Terms and Conditions of this insurance fully so that you understand what is and is not covered. If you would like to learn more about the terms and conditions of this Purchase Protection Insurance, please click on this link: Purchase Protection Terms and Conditions.

Regpack is the company we have partnered with to streamline our registrations. All registrations are online through Regpack. This company offers “Purchase Protection”. This is a third party insurance that may cover the camp fees you pay through the registration portal. This is what they say about their Purchase Protection:

Once your Purchase Protection payment clears, Purchase Protection will be enabled for your order. The plan fully reimburses your cost if you cannot attend due to personal medical issues, including medical issues with your immediate family. Full Terms and Conditions can be found here. The plan also covers you if you are forced to cancel after partially attending.

NO, purchase protection is optional and is not automatically add. You have to choose to add it to each child’s registration once you are in your cart. It is each families choice whether they choose to purchase this insurance.

Many parents are concerned about their first-time campers getting homesick. Our Camp Nurse is trained to help campers who may have a natural tendency to feel homesick. If a child is showing signs of homesickness for more than 24 hours, parents will be contacted to create an action plan which may include the child going home. Here are things you can do to help before they come:

• Have your child spend a night or two away from home to prepare for his or her first camp experience.
• Practice doing daily routines independently with younger campers like dressing, self-care, showering and applying sunscreen.
• Send a special stuffed animal along.
• Tell them how proud you are of them.
• Make sure to have letters and a care package for them throughout the week.
• Have your child sign-up and bunk with a close friend.
• Stay positive! Children often sense other’s insecurities.

Care packages and letters from home may be sent to:

*Camper’s Name*
C/O Twin Peaks Bible Camp
PO Box 59
Collbran, CO 81624

This address is only for the week(s) of camp. DO NOT send registration/ health forms to this address!

Please do not send snacks or extra money in letters/packages as campers are not allowed to have them in their cabins. Letters should be mailed out no later than Wednesday for your camper to receive them.

While registering for camp there is a place on the registration form to indicate who your child would like to be a cabin buddy with. We do our best to assign your child to a cabin that has someone they know. Please understand that if your child has more than one friend at camp we cannot guarantee that they will all be placed together. But please don’t worry! There are many opportunities for friends to socialize outside of their cabin groups.
