Important Information About Camp Concern
We want you and your child to have an encouraging and uplifting experience with Camp Concern. Above all else, we pray that God is glorified by our work at Camp. Below are some important details about attending Camp Concern. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at info@campconcern.org Please click on any of the following titles for important information about attending Camp Concern.
Camp Concern, Inc., is directed and sponsored by members of the churches of Christ in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Ohio. This non-profit organization is dedicated to providing wholesome programs of physical, mental, and spiritual exercise for young people. Camp Concern is open to boys and girls of good health. Campers are accepted without regard to their race, color, religion, gender, or national origin. Camp Concern offers a safe, away-from-the-world environment where each day campers are provided with three square meals, classes to study God’s word, opportunities to praise and worship God, time for recreation, and so much more. Camp Concern also provides a great staff of Christian people who volunteer their time because they truly love to teach and serve God’s precious young people. Camp Concern is a great place to make lifelong friends and to create memories that will last a lifetime.
Perhaps nothing speaks to the value of Camp Concern more than the countless lives that have been changed in so many ways at Camp Concern. The most significant change of all is witnessed by the many who have committed their lives to Christ at camp, and by many more who have grown in their relationship with the Lord because of camp. What can be more valuable than that? Registration is required for campers. A Registration Brochure can be requested at info@campconcern.org. A final bulletin and the required medical form will be mailed to all who register. The bulletin will provide directions to the campsite, a list of necessary clothing and equipment, the camp’s rules, and other important information. To be eligible to attend a particular week of camp, a camper must be the appropriate age by the final day of the week that he/she plans to attend. A camper who is enrolled in a week in which he/she is not the appropriate age shall participate in activities; however, he/she will not be eligible to receive awards. Please visit the web pages for the individual weeks for a list of appropriate ages. The total cost, including insurance, is $50.00. The registration fee is $10.00 (this will be applied toward the total cost), and this fee will only be returned if the prospective camper is unable to attend due to illness. An additional late fee of $10.00 will be assessed if the registration is postmarked after the designated date. If the family budget makes attending camp impossible, please contact the appropriate Camp Director. It is possible that partial or full scholarships can be made available. Return to List of Information Every precaution will be taken to ensure the health and safety of each camper. A qualified nurse will be on the campsite, and there is a hospital 20 minutes from the campsite. Every camper must present the required medical form, which is included in the Final Registration Mailing. This form must be presented and SIGNED BY HIS/HER PARENT OR LEGAL GUARDIAN, before a camper can enroll in Camp Concern. The only exception to this rule is applied to College Age Weekend campers who are not covered by their parents' insurance. In such a case, the camper must still complete a medical form, but may sign the form himself. A camper who disobeys the camp rules will be subject to dismissal from camp. A camper who is dismissed will not be permitted to return to camp the following year without the written consent of the Board of Directors. Additionally, a refund will not be given to campers who are dismissed. Dress must be modest at all times, and the following guidelines must be obeyed by boys and girls alike:
No revealing clothing (e.g. strapless tops, midriff revealing tops, low-cut tops, etc.). Campers not abiding by these dress code guidelines will be asked to change clothes. PARENTS: Please do not allow your children to pack clothing for Camp that will not be permitted.

Each camper should deposit spending money (for snacks, crafts, etc.) into a canteen account upon arrival, and all unspent money will be refunded. Ten dollars is the suggested amount for snacks; however, more might be needed for t-shirts, crafts, etc. Campers are not permitted to keep cash in their cabins.

In the event of an emergency, please call the Raccoon Creek State Park Ranger Office at 724-899-2200. Please use this phone number only in emergencies.As a courtesy to the campers, all visitors are required to leave the campsite before the start of campfire.
Note to Junior Week Visitors: Because of the tendency of campers in this age group to become homesick after seeing a parent, it is requested that all parents refrain from visiting until Friday. All campers will need to bring their own food for Sunday evening’s meal. The first meal served by the camp will be breakfast on Monday morning.
Each camper will need the following items: Bible, notebook, pencil, bedding (pillow with pillowcase, sheets, two blankets or a sleeping bag), towels, toiletries, appropriate clothing and shoes, and flashlight. Junior Week campers will need swimming attire.
The following items are recommended: insect repellent, sunscreen, alarm clock, fan, extension cord, robe, shower shoes, floor mat, envelopes, and stamps. You might want to ask experienced campers for other suggestions.
You may bring personal items such as a camera, athletic equipment, musical instruments, items you might need for the talent show, etc.; however, you must accept responsibility for their safekeeping.
Each camper should deposit spending money into a canteen account. (No money is to be kept in the cabins or carried by a camper.) The canteen account will be used by the camper for purchasing snacks, drinks, t-shirts, craft materials, etc.; and all unspent money will be refunded at the end of the week. On average, ten dollars is an adequate amount for snacks and drinks; however, more spending money might be needed if the camper wishes to purchase t-shirts, spend a lot of time in the craft hall, etc. The schedule varies slightly from week to week based on the age of the campers. All weeks, however, have the following schedule elements in this same basic order. †Rise and Shine † Flag Raising†Breakfast † Bible Class/Discussion Groups†Devotional † Lunch† Free Time† Group Recreation† Girls/Boys Recreation (Junior Week: Swimming)† Free Time†Flag Lowering † Dinner† Free Time† Devotional†Special Concerts/Events † Bible Bowl† Campfire† Village/Cabin Devotionals†Lights Out
