Special Session 2021 Questions and Answers
Do you plan to have Special Session in 2021?
We are hopeful about having Special Session in 2021, and our dates on the calendar are July 25-30 (staff training July 23-24) and Aug 2-Aug 7 (staff training July 31- Aug 1).
Do I have to pay to register? Will I get a refund if I can't come to camp?
We're not accepting payments at this time. You can go ahead and register, and once we feel more certain about the plan we'll send out payment information.
What will it look like? Will there be requirements and restrictions? Will I have to be vaccinated?
We don’t know what camp in 2021 is going to look like. We are lucky to have a great team of nurses, doctors, public health experts, and lots of people who care deeply about Special Session. We are meeting regularly to check in as vaccines are administered and we are monitoring community spread. We are imagining creative ways that we will be able to connect with our community this year if traditional camp is not safe. We are fine-tuning our ears to listen for the guidance of the Holy Spirit as we navigate so many unknowns.
Do you need volunteers to sign up?
YES! We do need volunteer counselors, support staff, and campers to sign up to let us know that you are interested in being a part of camp this year. We need churches to sign up to create welcome packs and host happy hours. We know that each of us will all have to weigh many factors as we decide what this summer will look like; we will be in communication with everyone who signs up for camp as we know more.
When will you know if you are having in person camp?
We aim to have a plan for what camp will look like by June 1st.
