Q:If my spouse or other family member cannot attend the Family Camp for the entire week can we get a partial reimbursement? |
A:No, your reservation is for the week and we plan accordingly; decisions and commitments need to be made accordingly. |
Q:While attending the week, some family members miss some meals due to a variety of reasons (shopping, hiking, eating out, sleeping in, etc.). Will we get a partial reimbursement? |
A:No, our prices reflect the knowledge that all meals are not attended by our guests. To track this would an administrative “nightmare." We thank you for your understanding. |
Q: If my child has been attending Camp for a “long” time and does not meet the age/grade requirement to enter Explorers or Adventures will you make an exception for our “exceptional” child? |
A:We regret that we cannot accommodate your request because it is not in the best interest of our program. |
Q:Is chapel attendance required? |
A:No, although we expect that one of the reasons you come to our Christian Family Camp is to be challenged and encouraged by attending the services that we provide. A vacation with a purpose! |
Q:Can we use your computers in the office for work-related business? |
A:No, however we do now offer wireless Internet access in select camp locations. |
Q:Does Camp Spofford have a dress code? |
A:Modest
and appropriate is the standard here at camp. Although it may
be summer, we have an expectation of "skin coverage"
that we believe is necessary in our culture, even within the Christian
community. Therefore, no "short" shorts, spaghetti straps,
low-cut (revealing) tops or shirts that reveal skin at the midriff.
Also, only modest one-piece bathing suits are permitted. Thank you for your assistance in this sensitive area. |
