Programs FAQWho are the counselors at LVR?The counseling staff at LVR are dedicated college-age Christians, many of whom are training for teaching or church-work professions, and all of whom have a great sense of care and concern for each young person who comes to LVR. The staff are carefully and prayerfully screened, and each receives over a week of training at LVR, including First Aid and CPR. One or more of these trained staff will be with each cabin group 24 hours a day to teach and lead them in Christian discipleship. When I am at LVR, where will I sleep?During the summer of 2005, all campers and families at LVR who are not on campouts or in the campground will be housed in one of two types of facility. There will be 7 hard-sided bunkhouse-style cabins, and 4-5 soft-sided military-style tents with cots. Both types of structure will have electric lights and hard floors and will be virtually identical in their “comfort-level”. If you have a preference for one or the other type of structure, please make your preference known at the appropriate place on the registration form. May I bring my pet?No, unless you are staying in the Family Campground. If you are a registered guest at the campground, you may bring your pet provided that you: 1) place current vaccination records on file at the LVR of- fice; 2) do not take your pet outside of the family campground area; and 3) keep your pet on a leash at all times. Can I and a friend stay in the same cabin group?Yes. You can request to be in the same cabin group as one or two of your friends who are in your age group and want to go to the same camp. You and your friends must each make your requests in the appropriate place on your registration forms. What should I bring to camp?- A complete list is sent after registration & deposit are processed. • Bible & Pencil • Pillow • Sleeping Bag/Bedding • Warm clothes for Camping Out • Pats • Shorts • Shirts • Shoes & • Underwear & Socks • Mud Shoes• Jacket/Sweatshirt • Hat/Cap • Rain Gear • Sunscreen • Flashlight • Chapstick • Day Pack • Canteen • Snack money (Snacks are 50 cents each and souvenirs/t-shirts range from about $10-40) • Towel and Washcloth • Soap & Shampoo • Toothbrush & Toothpaste Registration FAQCan I get a discount on my camp fee?Yes. There are four kinds of discounts, and at least one of them will probably apply to you. If more than one applies, the discounts add up to reduce your total camp fee. 1. Early Registration DiscountRegister before January 1, 2003 and receive $10 off each 5-day camp per camper and $5 off each weekend camp per camper. 2. New Camper DiscountIf you have been a camper at LVR before, when you send in your registration include in the envelope the registrations of one or more friends who have never been to LVR before. Receive a $10 discount for each new camper you bring. 3. Family DiscountThe first child attending camp from a particular family pays full price. All other children from that family will receive $25 discounts on 5-day camps and $10 discounts for 2-day camps. Family discounts do not apply to Family Camps. 4. Chuck Root Memorial Campership FundLVR is committed to providing every child with a quality Christian camping experience, and for this purpose the Chuck Root Memorial Campership Fund has been established. If finances are a problem, contact LVR to apply for a campership that will make camp affordable!

LVR PoliciesCamper HousingCampers may request to bunk in the same cabin as one or two friends of similar age and interest during their stay. We cannot accomodate larger groups of friends and desire to allow campers to meet and share with new people. Use the space provided on the registration form to request Housing Mates. Assignments are made one to two weeks prior to the camping session. Requests must be mutually agreed upon and are not guaranteed. Chains of 4 or more campers will be broken down into smaller groups.
