donate to sponsor a student for Clash Camp 2021
Our heart is for every student to be able to attend Clash Camp 2021, and we cannot accomplish this without generous givers. Every donation means that more students can experience one of the biggest things we do all year. Not only does the scholarship fund help bridge the gap between what Grace Family Church invests in camp and what parents pay, helping to keep camp affordable for everyone, it also allows us to provide partial and full scholarships to students who would not be able to afford their enrollment. In 2019, over 275 students were able to experience camp because of generous donations.

WHAT IF MY STUDENT HAS SPECIAL NEEDS (INCLUDING SEVERE DIETARY RESTRICTIONS, REQUIRES ONE ON ONE SUPPORT AT SCHOOL OR CHURCH, ETC)?
If your student has special needs and you are interested in sending them to Clash Camp, please email us at clash@gfconline.com before enrolling your student. We would love to talk to you so we can see if we are able to accommodate your student. Where we work to make camp an environment that all students can experience and enjoy, Clash Camp is not always able to accommodate students who need one-on-one assistance, have extreme dietary restrictions, and have certain disabilities.
WHEN IS PARENT NIGHT?
We will be having a Mandatory Parent Night on Wednesday, July 14, 2021 at the Van Dyke Campus.
WHAT IS THE MEDICATION POLICY?
If your student will be bringing any medications with them to Clash Camp we REQUIRE our “Medicine Distribution Paper” be turned in with the medicine on the day of departure. All medicine needs to be completely labeled with your student’s name and placed in a gallon Ziploc bag. The “Medicine Distribution Paper” can be printed at home and turned in, picked up at the parent meeting on Wednesday, July 14 or on the day of camp drop off.
Camp-Specific Questions
HOW DO I CONTACT MY STUDENT IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY?
In the case of an emergency, we will be providing all parents with a direct number to contact us at camp as well as a texting service to provide updates in case an emergency does arise. This phone number will be given out as we get closer to departing for Clash Camp.
WHERE AND WHEN IS DROP OFF?
- Middle School drop off will be happening in the main lobby of the Van Dyke campus, at 6:00 AM on Sunday, July 18. Note: We cannot accommodate late arrivals.
- High School drop off will be happening in the main lobby of the Van Dyke campus, at 9:00 AM on Wednesday, July 21. Note: We cannot accommodate early arrivals.

- If your student has food allergies, please indicate this on the enrollment form. If your student has extreme food allergies, please email us at clash@gfconline.com so we can work with you directly to make sure we can accommodate your student.
WILL THERE BE SECURITY?
Yes. We will have a security team at Clash Camp to ensure your students’ safety. Additionally, for every 5-9 students, there will be a group counselor. This group counselor has been background checked and interviewed by Grace Family Church staff.
WHAT DO I BRING TO CLASH CAMP?
Your student will need a physical Bible, sunscreen, bug spray, tennis shoes, change of clothes for 4 days, toiletries, towel, swimsuit, rain jacket/poncho, mask, journal and pen, and a sleeping bag. Please LABEL everything with your student’s name. A more comprehensive list will be provided through email following the parent meeting. Students will need spending money for Clash Camp 2021 merchandise and snacks in our camp store. We recommend $25 for the week. All other meals and drinks will be provided as a part of your Clash Camp enrollment. We recommend that you pack all of your student’s items in one wheeled luggage carrier or duffle bag. Whatever they bring, they are responsible for carrying.

Rules & Phone Policy
What is the dress code?
Our dress code rule is that if you can’t wear it to school, don’t wear it to Clash Camp. Please also bring comfortable clothes for recreational activities outside and a swimsuit. Ladies – please, only one-piece modest swimsuits or tankinis.
What should I leave at home?
Students are asked to leave skateboards, fireworks, iPods, iPads, laptops, gaming consoles, pets & animals at home. Clash Camp is for building a better relationship with God, family, and friends.
What is the Clash Camp "No Phone Zone" policy?
There will be very specific times where cell phone use will be prohibited. These include services, small groups, and breakouts. If a student is caught using their phone during these times, it will be taken for the remainder of camp. We’d actually advise that your student doesn’t bring their phone at all. Over the years, we’ve found that taking students out of their regular routine opens them up to hear from Jesus in ways they haven’t before. The use of cell phones is the main prohibitor of a great camp experience. Before we leave for camp, we will give you three points of contact for emergencies. All of our leaders will have cell phones so your student will have access to a phone if they need to reach you. When enrolling your student, both the parent and student will sign an agreement to abide by the Clash Camp phone policy.
What are the Clash Camp rules?
At the time of enrollment, parents and students are required to sign a Parent and Student Agreement, which includes all of the rules implemented at Clash Camp.
