Dear Father-Son Participants,
Thank You for choosing to attend father-son at Camp Caraway! We have an awesome camp planned
for you and your boy(s). I remember my first experience at Camp Caraway. I was age 7 and my dad brought
me to a father-son camp right here at Caraway in the same cabins you will be using. The experience was great
and some of the memories are still very vivid. Our staff hopes that you too will have a great experience here
full of vivid memories with your son or group of boys for years to come. Please read this entire document.
These documents are important. We hope these documents will help in preparation for an amazing time at
Camp Caraway!
Program: We are intentional to use fun to share the love of Jesus, develop healthy relationships, create
lasting teachable moments, and learn about the importance of missions. This year we will be challenged to
“Suit Up” from Ephesians 6:10-20. Through our staff, speaker, and our program we hope you are encouraged
to put on the full armor of God wherever he leads you.
The camp counselors that will be with your group has been carefully screened and trained. We as a staff
will do everything that we can to help make this camp the best experience possible. Participants will be
encouraged to participate and do their best in each activity, but the level of participation is always the choice of
the participant. If you haven’t already please visit our website and read about our program:
www.campcaraway.org. We want you to be as well informed as possible. Please contact us with questions.
Medical & Release Forms: Attached are a health history form, and a waiver form. Please bring
the included forms to the check in booth at camp completed with accurate information and signed as
indicated. Both the adult and child must have a completed and signed health history &waiver form. If
someone else is bringing your son please be sure that the person who transports them has the completed
forms. The legal parent or guardian must be the one to sign all of the forms.
Back ground checks are required for all adults
Every adult that attends an overnight camp must have a back ground check completed.
You simply need to click on the link provided, complete and submit the information. This needs to be
completed at least one week prior to your camp start date. The cost of this is included in your registration
fee. Please click on the following link where YOU will enter your personal information in order to
process your background check. https://www..ministryopportunities.org/BSConventionNC. If a group
leader is receiving this letter, please pass this information along to the other adults attending. The name
you use in your back ground check must be the same name on your registration form, so that we can
identify you. If you prefer to be called another name, please indicate this on the health history form and
let us know at check in.

a cabin with other fathers and sons that you know up to a group of 15. Please complete this and return it

share about some of the fun that we are having!

missions offering to teach the importance of giving. The missions offering will support the NC Baptist Men
Disaster Relief ministry as they remodel a mass feeding unit. To find out more about disaster relief, visit here:

Special Concerns: Adults are responsible for the children that they bring. Our staff are trained to
approach special concerns with campers such as medical conditions, bed wetting, or home sickness with the
utmost respect and confidentiality if the adult requests assistance from us, however it is the adult’s
responsibility to care for their children. You can help us prepare your son or boys for success with these needs.
Medical Conditions: Please document all medical conditions, allergies, medications, and other pertinent
information on the health history form. The adults are responsible to administer the boy’s daily medications.

Behavior: Participants are given clear expectations and rules for the weekend when they arrive. We
expect all participants including adults to follow these expectations and to treat each other as they want to be
treated. Adults are responsible for the children that they bring including their behavior and whereabouts. Our
staff are trained well in motivating and disciplining campers appropriately and are available to assist the adults
if needed, but the adults are ultimately responsible for the boys. Bullying or picking of any kind is inexcusable
and not tolerated here.
Tobacco Free: Our father/son camps are tobacco free. Thank you for honoring this throughout the
weekend!
Payment: Please pay all registration fees in advance. The total must be paid before your arrival at
camp. Fees are only refundable if there is an illness or death in the immediate family. For payment questions

I am looking forward to your arrival at camp. I, as well as our entire staff, are praying that you and your
boys will have many enjoyable, growing and rewarding experiences at Camp Caraway. Please see the other

Sincerely,
Mark
