    How can I be reached during the C.A.S.T.L.E. Camp ?

    Rev. Terry McBride - 574-274-5990 (cell phone)

    I’m really busy – can I leave for my practice or rehearsal?

    Because the events of the C.A.S.T.L.E. Camp build on each other, and because each participant will be a part of a small group that will meet together throughout the camp period, it is not appropriate for campers to come late, leave early or miss any portion of the event.

    What if I have to cancel?

    If you have completed the registration process and need to cancel, please let us know as soon as possible. $20.00 of the registration fee cannot be refunded.

    When does the C.A.S.T.L.E. Camp begin?

    Summer C.A.S.T.L.E. participants are to arrive at Hoffman Lake Camp about 3:00pm on the first day of camp.

    Snow C.A.S.T.L.E. participants are to arrive at Camp Ray Bird between 7:00pm and 7:30pm on the Friday evening of the camp weekend.

    How do I get to the C.A.S.T.L.E. Camp?
