Arrival and Departure Arrangements:

Camp will open at 3:00 p.m. Sunday afternoon.  Camp will close at 11:00 a.m. Saturday morning.  If you wish to room with someone specific, please let us know, when you send in your registration forms.   However, younger campers will not be allowed to move up to room with older campers.   This rule applies to both junior and senior campers.

Rules for acceptance and participation in this program are the same for everyone without regard to race, color, national origin, age, sex, disability, political belief, or religion.

Activities:

The daily camp schedule includes devotions, Bible classes, singing, sports, crafts, hiking, water sports, games, and regular meals.  There is also entertainment each evening, including a terrific variety show staged by the campers themselves.

Dress and Conduct:

Camp is conducted in a spiritual atmosphere, which includes wearing modest apparel.  Campers will be required to wear clothing which meets certain standards.

Following the standards of dress set forth in the Florida College Student Handbook, all skirts or pants "must be touching the kneecap."  Play-skirts, jeans, or knee-length cut-offs are recommended for girls; shorts, halters, or backless dresses will not be worn at camp.   Boys must wear jeans or knee-length cut-offs and must wear shirts at all times, which do not hang open on the sides.  This clothing will be acceptable at all camp functions.

Each camper is expected to follow camp rules.  Tobacco, alcoholic beverages, and unprescribed drugs will not be allowed.   Stealing, profanity, possession of weapons of any kind, or abuse of camp facilities will not be tolerated.  Additionally, firecrackers and shaving cream and water balloon fights will be prohibited.  Offenders will be subject to being sent home.

Counselors have been carefully chosen, and their instructions are to be respected at all times.

Health and Safety:

Trained First Aid personnel will be available.  Accident insurance (included in camp fee) will be provided for all campers who do not have other insurance.  We need insurance information for all campers, because that will be used before our insurance.   In addition to the registration form and the medical release form, Camp Hensel requires the parents and guardians of every camper sign a "Release and Indemnity Agreement."  One will be sent when we receive your registration form or you may click on the link at this site and print one out.  No one can attend camp without this form on file.

Bible, Clothing, Swimming Suit, Knee-length Robe, Pajamas, Soap, Personal Items, Towels and Wash Cloths, Sleeping Bag or Bed Linens, Musical Instruments (optional), Athletic Equipment, Flashlight, Insect Repellent
