Are students allowed to come and go during the camp?

No, once students are checked in for the camp, we ask that they remain there so we can monitor all students. Students are allowed to leave in an emergency authorized by a parent/guardian. There will be supervision and security at the campgrounds.

What is the sleeping arrangement?

We will be staying in cabins with a capacity of 40 campers per room. Sleeping bags and pillows are required. Rooms will be preassigned and grouped by biological gender, keeping age and grade in mind.

What if there is an emergency?

In case of an emergency, a staff member or team member will contact you using your emergency contact information. If you need to add someone to that call list, please email daniel@brave.church.

If you need to contact your student, please call Pastor Daniel Kopti [925-998-9330]. While we anticipate no injuries to occur, we will be prepared:

Staff will carry first-aid kits throughout the camp; Brave Church also has first-aid equipment on site and a medically certified physician. The closest hospital is Adventist Health Hospital Sonora, about 15 minutes from where we are staying. 

Should I bring extra cash?

Yes! Bring 50$ for lunch on the way up and for activities. It is also recommended to bring cash for the extra snacks available for purchase at the camp’s snack shack

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner were included in the overall cost of the camp, except for the round-trip to and from the camp. If you noted any allergies or food restrictions, we have been informed, and accommodations will be made, and students will have fantastic meals
