Special Needs Campers
We want every student possible to have the best experiences of Camp Impact. Parents who have special needs campers should inform us in writing prior to camp. This will help us better minister to your child. We ask that you understand that we use a completely volunteer staff and there are situations in which we may not be able to accommodate a student unless further assistance is provided by their parent(s) on site.

Camp Visitors
All visitors to camp must check in at IMPACT CENTRAL which is marked by CAMP IMPACT signs from the main campus entrance. No visitors under 18 years of age are allowed without an adult sponsor. All visitors must wear proper ID and comply with visiting hours. No visitors are allowed in residence portions of the dorms at any time. DO NOT visit campus during meal times.

We strongly discourage frequent visits to campus from parents or siblings during the camp week. For your child’s maximum camp experience, please let them be at camp without distractions.

Consent Form

No student application can be processed without a parent or legal guardian signing the consent document on the student application form. Any special medical conditions and or medications must be attached to this form. A student will not be admitted to camp unless a release form is signed by his/her parent or guardian. This release form will allow emergency medical treatment to be sought and administered for your child. It also gives us permission to transport your child to any scheduled off campus activities (within a few miles of campus) and allows us to use photographs (students never named) for promotional purposes.

Parent's Information (FAQ)

We have compiled a list of frequently asked question of parents considering sending their 4-6th grade students to camp. This information is provided for you to help maximize your child's camping experience.

Frequently Ask Questions

1. When do we check into camp?

Check In will be from 3:30-5:00 p.m. on Sunday. Please follow the yellow Impact signs as you arrive on campus. All groups will check in together, so please see your Children/Youth Minister?

2. Where do we go after we check-in?

Since students arrive over a couple hour period of time we have a special program planned to "hold" students until everyone has arrived called the pre-camp celebration. This will take place in Judd Theatre. Students should 1) check-in 2)check-in medication at nurse station 3) go to assigned dorm to drop luggage off -- a counselor will be there to greet them. 4) go immediately to Hardeman Auditorium until camp kick-off begins at 5:00 p.m.

3. Who will be my child's roommate?

Your child will request roommates on their registration form. Most of these will be honored. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR CHILD'S ROOMMATE REQUESTS ARE STUDENTS THAT A REGISTERED. Group leaders will make pre-camp roommate assignments. No student will room alone.

Make roommate request with your Youth/Children's Ministers. Their assignments are used in place of any registration requests. It is better to work out any rooming assignments with your Youth/Children's Minister prior to check-in.

4. What are the housing/bedding arrangements at camp?

Students are housed in air conditioned dorm rooms. Students will either sleep on a twin size bunk bed, extra mattress (without box springs) or a thick foam pad. Sometimes our rooms seem a little crowded to parents, but we have found that having multiple roommates (especially friends) are good for our campers. Please remember, we spend VERY little time in the dorms except for sleeping. Your cooperation and understanding about dorms is greatly appreciated.

If a pad or mattress is not available at check-in, don't worry...many times we must shift mattress placement based on camp attendance. These are done when we return to the dorm on Sunday night. If you would like to bring an air pad/mattress that is acceptable.

5. What will my child have to eat during the week?

Most of our meals are served in the college cafeteria. These menus offer many choices to the students each meal. We do have two special pizza nights where pizza is catered into campus... this always is a special treat for our campers.

Canteen (snacks) are provided during the afternoon and on most evenings. Students have access to the vending machines during the day (though they really are not needed), but access is limited upon return to the dorms at night.

6. What is the camp schedule?

A copy of the schedule will be available as camp gets closer on this website and at check-in

7. When do I pick my child up from camp?

Camp closes at 10:00 a.m. on THURSDAY. Please see your group sponsor for any pick-up arrangements on campus. The campus should be cleared by 11:00 a.m. Students will not be checked out individually by camp, but checked out to their group leaders.

8. What if my child cannot swim?

Please let us know (in writing) at check-in. Your child will be exempt from swimming time. Our lifeguard staff always ask the students on the first day of swimming, but we would prefer to know beforehand.

9. Does my child need spending money?

Though vending machines are available and they may want. We ask parents limit the amount of money sent with their children. Money tends to get lost.

10. Are cell phones, cd players, etc. allowed at camp?

PLEASE NOTE THE CELL PHONE POLICY! We do NOT allowing campers to have cell phones at camp. Please leave all TV's, game boys, CD players, ipods, MP3 players, etc. at home.

11. Why are phone/phone calls not permitted at camp?

ALL VISITORS MUST CHECK-IN AT IMPACT CENTRAL before making contact with students. Please check-in and check-out at IMPACT CENTRAL. Visitors under 18 years of age will not be admitted without an accompanying adult. Visitors must wear proper ID at all times. PARENTS/VISITORS ARE NOT ALLOWED IN STUDENTS ROOMS OR IN DOOR HALLWAYS DURING CAMP WEEK! All parents must honor this policy. Please LIMIT YOUR VISITS

Please understand that PARENTS are NOT allowed to visit the dorm rooms. You are welcome to drop items off for your child at IMPACT CENTRAL. We will try our best to get these items/gifts to your child by curfew each evening. Do not visit your child at meal times. We have limited seating in our cafeteria, and you make camp uncomfortable for everyone including your child.

Director's Note: We have found that parent's who visit campus often during the week often times have VERY homesick children that we deal with when they are not here. We know you will be homesick for your children, but are asked to let your kids enjoy the camp week.

15. What happens if my child gets sick during the week?

A great counseling staff will take your child to our nurse's office. The illness will be assessed and you will be notified if there is something severe or if a FEVER is present. We will notify you to come pick up your child if your child has FEVER.

16. What are the rules?

CampOC has general guidelines.  See them listed on this page. Your child is expected to follow leaders instructions and comply with these guidelines.

17. Checking In & Out: Attention Local Parents! To maximize our students camp experience we suggest that students forfeit sporting events and other pre-scheduled events instead of checking in and out during the camp week. This adds extra work for our staff, and increases homesickness among students. If a student must temporarily checks out early, no refund is given. WE WILL NOT CHECK STUDENTS BACK IN TO CAMP after early check out. All early check outs must be verified by group sponsor/minister and be done during daylight hours.

19. Camp Mail We love getting mail at camp! Mail call is one time a day. Send mail early. Do not send mail to the Oklahoma Christian University address. Mail is not forwarded if it arrives after camp closes. Send Mail To: Student's Name c/o Camp Impact 801 S Bryant Edmond, Oklahoma 73034

20. Further Questions

As the start date of camp approaches, more information about this year's camp session will be posted on the Camp Impact page of this website. Please check back soon.

21. Registration Office:

We do not send confirmation of registration received. If you would like confirmation please check with your group leader.  Yes, the registration office is in San Antonio, Texas.

We will contact group leaders if there is a problem with your registration form.

22. Why is camp not a week long?

 We have learned over the years to maximize the most of every opportunity. Camp Impact requires a staff which is on duty around the clock with our students. With the demands on our staff, a busy schedule, and many students who are first time campers (away from home) the Sunday-Thursday format seems to work best.

23. Where does the fee go?

We don't think you'll find a better value anywhere. We do everything possible to hold the cost of camp to a minimum, but never cut quality. Your student's camp fee goes to pay for: lodging, meals, supplies, crafts, snacks, t-shirt, entertainment, etc. No salary is paid to anyone on the Camp Impact staff.

There are no financial aid scholarships available through our camp fund. Please check with your local congregation about sponsoring students who need help.

Unfortunately we receive several "bounced" checks each year. Please understand that our failure to collect these puts a tremendous burden on the already tight camp budget.

24. Special Needs Students

We want every student possible to have the best experiences of Camp Impact. Parent who have special needs campers should inform us in writing prior to camp. This will help us better minister to your child. We ask that you understand that we use a completely volunteer staff and their are situations in which we may not be able to accommodate a student unless further assistance is provided by their parent(s) on site.
