Winter Camps

UCYC charges for all students and leaders attending camp. The cost of winter camp 2024 is $259 per person. One main group leader can come at no charge.

Registration opens on Monday, September 18, 2023. Space is reserved on a first come, first served basis and stays open until the camp is sold out. Upon that time, UCYC will start a waiting list and will release spots if/when they become available.

We are excited to communicate extended hours for Winter Camp this year. Winter Camp starts on Friday evening and ends mid afternoon on Sunday. This change will provide more opportunities for groups to facilitate relationship building and give time to add specific programming into the schedule this year.

The contract must be signed within 14 days of receiving it. Your church is responsible for the total number of guests on the contract even if the total number of guests attending is below the registered amount.

It’s a good practice to ensure the correct number of people you are expecting to attend with your organization before submitting the registration/inquiry form.

A non-refundable 20% deposit is due within 14 days of signing the contract. The balance of total charges is due 30 days prior to the first day of camp.

UCYC requires one leader for every eight students. In addition, your group must have at least one male and one female adult if you are bringing both male and female students to the event.

UCYC requires everyone coming with your group (including leaders and the group leader) to sign a waiver. The link for our waiver will be emailed to you. Signed waivers must be completed at least 24 hours prior to arrival at camp. A parent/guardian signature is required for minors.

We serve food options with no gluten containing ingredients but are prepared in a common kitchen. While we take steps to minimize the likelihood of exposure, our gluten friendly options are not recommended for guests with Celiac or any other gluten sensitive disorders. If you have a guest who will be attending camp that has additional allergies or dietary restrictions (dairy free, vegan, vegetarian, etc.), a refrigerator and microwave are available if they would like to bring supplemental food. UCYC will not prepare food brought by any guest and cannot cater to individual dietary needs.

A background check must be performed by your church for every adult attending camp.  An authorized representative will sign off that this has been completed.

Each group is responsible to collect and store any and all medications for their students. UCYC provides a safe location to store medications but it is the group’s responsibility to ensure students receive their medications.

At UCYC, the best way to pay is by check. We charge a 2.5% fee on all credit card transactions.

No, your contract is based on your signed guaranteed financial number and your group is responsible for that amount.

Yes, our  packing list is available by November 1st.

The group leader is able to see everyone who has completed the waiver.

Unless they are 18 or older, their parent/guardian must sign the waiver on their behalf.

We often get snow during our winter camps. As camp gets closer, we keep you updated on any weather developments.

Your group is housed together (separated by gender) to the best of our ability. Depending on the numbers of your group, and the makeup of the camp, you may share the common area of a cabin with other groups, and on occasion, you may share sleeping quarters with another group.

Dinner is not provided upon arrival; the first meal is Saturday morning breakfast.

To help ensure the safety and security of UCYC guests, we require all guests to wear a UCYC supplied wristband while on campus. Wristbands are checked during meal times and recreation.

UCYC does not keep general Lost & Found items. After a group leaves, all items left behind are gathered and discarded immediately. The exception to this is medications, expensive electronics/jewelry, wallets/identification cards and keys (personal items).

If you need assistance with a lost item please visit the Lost & Found page and complete the lost and found form.

All meals from breakfast on Saturday through lunch on Sunday are included in the cost of camp.

All visitors must sign in at the Main Office and wear a visitor badge while on site. If your visitor is eating in the dining hall, there is a $10 fee per meal, and we must know they are planning to visit when you are giving your group breakdowns 10 days prior to camp.
