For parents & families

Cabin assignments — age and gender groupings, cabinmate requests

Cabins are separated by both age and gender to ensure appropriate and comfortable groupings for all campers. To promote new friendships and inclusivity, we encourage campers to limit cabinmate requests to two friends. This helps prevent campers who come individually from feeling excluded from large friend groups. Requests must be mutual to be honored — submit the full name of your camper and requested cabinmate(s) to sierra@maranatha.camp.

Safety — closed-toed shoes policy

Closed toed shoes are a must at camp. We have several activities that require them in order to participate. Crocs do not count as closed toed shoes. We have this policy to ensure the safety of every camper.

Scholarships — financial assistance available for families in need

We offer financial assistance for families in need. Most scholarships are partial, and a $200 non-refundable deposit is still required at registration. All scholarship applications must be received by May 10, 2027. Your gift helps children and families who otherwise could not afford to attend camp — giving kids and teens the chance to hear the gospel, build lasting friendships, and grow in their faith.
