Special Session 2021 Questions and Answers
Do I have to pay to register? Will I get a refund if I can't come to camp?
You can pay once you are accepted to camp. If for some reason we have to cancel camp, we will refund your payment.
What will it look like? Will there be requirements and restrictions? Will I have to be vaccinated?
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 have decided that the safest way for us to have camp is to require vaccination for all campers and staff. We believe that the covid vaccine will be widely available in time for camp in July; if you want to be vaccinated but can't, please call Lindsey at 205-530-0685 and we will help you find a vaccination site near you.
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.
