"Time
Travelors"A secret "Time Gate" has been discovered at Rock River Bible Camp. Anyone who goes through the gate reappears in another place some time in the distant past. At Primary Camp, we're going to boldly go where no one else has gone. We're going to walk through the gate! There is only one problem, we're never quite sure where we'll end up, who we'll meet or if we'll be able to make it back to RRBC. One thing is sure: We'll have a great time learning about the past.
Camp Capacity
Primary Camp has a capacity of 40 campers. Registrations are accepted on
a first come/first served basis. Final number of campers depends on available
staff and beds.
Check In Time
Campers can begin to arrive for their camp on Sunday between 5:00 - 6:00
p.m. Late arrivals are permitted only by pre-arrangement with the Camp
Dean. In all cases, the camper must arrive no later than 9:00 a.m. on Monday.
Those expected to arrive late must pre-pay the entire camping fee. There
is no reduction in cost.
Check Out Time
Parents are expected to pick up campers at 8:00 p.m.on Tuesday. An open
house for parents will begin at 7:00 p.m. and will include a brief program
presented by the campers and refreshments. Campers will be able to leave
anytime after the program concludes.
Requests to Leave Camp
Because of the length of Primary Camp, requests to leave the camp temporarily
should be avoided if possible. If leaving is unavoidable, it must be prearranged
with the Camp Dean at the time of registration, except in the case of emergency.
Visits to the Camp
Parents are welcome to visit the camp, but should arrange the visit with
the Camp Dean so as to avoid interruption of the program. All other visitors
must receive permission from the Dean prior to arrival.
Telephone Use
Campers are allowed to make calls from the camp only with the permission
of the Camp Dean. Calls must be collect or via phone cards. Incoming calls
for campers are discouraged.
