How do I check my kids in to their class before the services and where do I pick them up at the end?
Children who will be in the nursery or kids services during the morning sessions will need to be checked in by a parent. Check in locations will be explained in the opening session on Sunday, July 1 at 7pm. At the end of each session, infants and children must be picked up by their parent or a pre-approved guardian. Please specify who may pick up your child when you complete the online or printable registration form.

Wifi may be available in some places during Family Camp.

If the need does arise for you to connect to a wifi signal, you may inquire at the registration/information booth to see if wifi is available at that time.
