Send completed forms to Ashley Wagner at [email protected].

Camp Leader Info

Ratio

Church groups must maintain an 8:1 ratio for the size of their group. Eight boys require one male leader, 16 girls require two female leaders, and so on. Churches that cannot supply an adequate number of leaders may be asked to remove attendees or have their group split across cabins to maintain leader ratios.

Background Check

Cabin Staff must be at least 18 years old and pass a background check. Background checks will be processed in-house after leaders complete their waivers.

Reference Forms

All Cabin Staff must have a Reference Form completed on their behalf by their Lead Pastor, Kids Pastor, or Church Board Member. Download the form and complete one form per leader.

Cabin Staff Training

All NW Kids Camp Cabin Staff and Event Staff are required to read the Cabin Staff Training Manual. Failure to complete adequate training could result in leaders being sent home during camp.

Payment

Payment for camp is due at registration on day one of your camp. You will receive a camp invoice when registration closes. You can pay online here or by check. If you have late registrations, your invoice will be adjusted after the late deadline closes.

DocuSign

You can see the status of waivers as pending or signed in your Brushfire manage link. Each attendee must register on Brushfire and have a signed DocuSign waiver, including the Lake Retreat form if applicable. If you need a waiver resent, please email Ashley.

Group Leader Text Communication

We have a texting service available to leaders at camp. This service will periodically send updates during camp. To opt in, text your camp: "EAST", "WEST1", or "WEST2" to (888) 505-1467.

Frequently Asked Questions

If someone is not listed in your group, then they are not registered for camp. Why?

  • It’s possible they added a registrant to their Brushfire cart, but never submitted the registration.
  • They accidentally created their own registration group instead of joining yours.
  • They haven’t registered at all.

Make sure everyone in your group clicks Submit at the end of Brushfire registration and Finish at the end of DocuSign.

  • The waiver email may have gone to junk mail.
  • A parent or leader may have started the form but closed their browser before clicking finish.
  • The form hasn’t been opened yet.

You are responsible for every student and leader waiver being signed, not pending. Incomplete waivers make registration incomplete and void.

Background checks cannot be run until the waiver is complete. Background check and reference form statuses are manually updated by NWMN staff, so processing may take a few days.

Yes, but each student must still include their parent or guardian’s contact info, email, and signature. Parents or guardians must sign student waivers, and cabin staff must sign their own forms. These are legally binding documents and must be completed by the correct person.

You are required to pay for each student or leader in your group unless the Children’s Admin is made aware of the cancellation. Otherwise, they will still be listed on the invoice owed by your group.

No. NWMN Summer Camps operate as a closed campus. Parents may drop off their child at the start of camp and pick them up at the end if arranged, but they may not come and go during the week unless they are registered and approved as cabin staff.

No. The Camp Coordinator manages the church group, waivers, and payment, but does not have to attend camp personally.

NWKids requires an 8:1 ratio of students to leaders. If you cannot send enough leaders, your group may need to be split among multiple cabins or churches to maintain ratios.

Download the Medication Form, have parents complete it at least 24 hours before camp, and bring it with the medication in the original prescription bottle inside a labeled Ziploc bag to the camp nurse at check-in.

Junior Cabin Staff is an opportunity for leading high school students to attend in a support role. Adult-to-student ratios and cabin safety practices still apply. Email Ashley with questions.

Registration is now online and paper applications are no longer standard. Exceptions may be made only in extreme situations on a case-by-case basis.

Camp facilities contain common allergens including wheat, gluten, eggs, soy, shellfish, peanuts, and tree nuts. The kitchen is not peanut-free or gluten-free. Dietary needs are best met by the guest attending, and refrigeration and microwave access are available.

Bring: bedding, Bible, toiletries, sunscreen, water bottle, flashlight, modest swim attire, clothes for 5 days, warm layers, shoes, shower sandals, and spending money if desired.

Do not bring: fireworks, drugs, tobacco, vaping products, matches, knives, weapons, valuables, pets, or game consoles.

To honor our budget and facility, we offer full refunds until one month before camp, 75% four weeks before camp, and 50% two weeks before camp. Registration is non-refundable if canceled within one week of camp unless there is an emergency circumstance. Please contact Ashley with questions.
