NEW for 2020: You will pick up your student at your campus between 9:00 and 10:00 p.m. on Day 4 of your camp week. Your campus Middle School Ministry will communicate the specific time for pickup closer to camp.

Students will not be allowed to arrive late or leave early. Students need to check in at their campus and ride the bus to camp. Students will depart on the last day with their campus, and parents will pick up their students at their campus.

• Dorms are gender-specific.
• Each dorm will be supervised by our small group leaders.
• Adults and students do not share beds.
• Dorms are comprised of bunk beds.

During each week of MIX, we will have small group leaders with a ratio of 1 leader for every 8 students. Leaders will be responsible for guiding and taking care of 8 to 12 students through the week of camp.

The MIX schedule keeps students around their small groups and friends all day long. Our leaders are also always around to keep students connected as much as possible.

We ask that each student register with the campus they usually attend. If you are bringing a guest, we ask that they register with your campus. We want the connections you make at camp to last long after we arrive home, and the best way to make that happen is to come to camp with your campus.

The registration cost includes all accommodations, travel, meals, and camp fee. However, camp merchandise, Snack Shack, and Adventure Zone activities (paintball, archery, zip line, high ropes, and axe throwing) are additional costs and are not included in your registration or financial aid.

We use school buses with professional drivers.

Small group and dorm assignments are by gender and campus. We will use the information collected as part of the registration process to help determine small group and dorm assignments. This may include friend requests, small group, and school information. Our goal is for every student to be in a group with a friend.

Our primary source of communication will come via email. You will receive a confirmation email once your student has successfully registered for the trip.

We will be departing from the Southeast campus that you registered with. More details on how departure works will be available once registration is complete.

Luggage tags (2) will be given at check-in at the campus you registered with the first day of MIX. It will not be mailed.

Country Lake Christian Retreat tries very hard to be a food allergy friendly camp. Because of the number of campers attending camp, we cannot promise an allergen free environment. We will notify CLCR Kitchen staff of any food allergies as listed in your child’s registration.

During the registration process, you will be asked if you need to apply for financial aid. If you answer yes, a series of questions will be asked to help us better understand your need for financial aid.

Parents, we know you may choose to allow your student to bring technology like a cell phone or small portable game system to MIX. Our hope is that they are not a distraction during the event. We have clear times of use and clear times of putting it away. Lastly, all technology will be collected by leaders in dorms at night to remove the distraction from night time rest.
