Canal Lake Bible Camp

CLOTHES! (Very important you don’t forget these and be sure to check out the CLBC DRESS CODE which is listed below. NO tank tops.) Label ALL clothing and other items with camper name. (Every effort will be made to help campers keep up with their belongings, but the camp cannot be responsible for lost items. A lost and found will be available at the end of camp on pick-up day.) 

Bible—It is Canal Lake BIBLE Camp! 

Bedding—For middle and high school overnight camp, lodging is in dorm style rooms with twin sized bunk beds. You will need pillows, sheets and blankets or sleeping bag. 

Towels and Toiletries (toothpaste, toothbrush, soap, shampoo, sunscreen, etc.) 

Flashlight (overnight camp) 

PRESCRIBED MEDICATIONS—(NO MEDS ARE DISTRIBUTED ELEMENTARY WEEK. MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL WEEKS ONLY) These will ONLY be accepted in the original container having clear instructions on the pharmacy label with camper’s name.

Thanks for asking. Nope. We want your children to plug into a relationship with God while they’re at camp, and we’ve found the best way to facilitate that is to ask them to unplug from electronics. Should a phone be found on your child, it will be placed in a locked cabinet until the end of camp.

(See question 2.) Sorry, no. Unless there is a medical reason a child needs a cell phone, we ask that campers leave these items at home. However, if your child ever needs to call home, our counselors will make sure they have access to a phone.

We’re thrilled you asked! It’s very simple, and we do enforce it! Check it out below. 

T-Shirts: No offensive words or graphics on t-shirts and fall at or below the waist. (No tank tops-guys or gals) 

Shorts: Must fall at or below the length of your child’s fist when it is balled at his/her side. 

Jeans: You will want at least one pair of jeans for cool evenings. 

Swimwear: For girls, a tankini or one piece. If your child wears a 2 piece, they must wear a full tank-top covering. We recommend 2 swimsuits. They do not have to wear a t-shirt while swimming. For boys, no speedos. Wear clothes over swimwear on the way to and from the lake/pool.  

Underwear and socks: We don’t recommend sharing, so make sure you pack plenty! 

Shoes: Required at all times at camp. We recommend at least one pair of tennis/athletic shoes, water shoes (for mud pit) and flip-flops/sandals. 

PLAY clothes are suggested. Keep in mind, we do a lot of messy activities. Don’t send their best.

We attempt to accommodate as many dietary needs as possible. Our dedicated cooks serve a really great variety of fresh fruits and veggies along with our main entrees. If your child is diabetic, vegetarian, lactose intolerant or has nut allergies, we will definitely be able to accommodate them. Just let us know at registration. 

However, we are NOT equipped to handle dietary preferences or undiagnosed sensitivities. We have a large number of campers, and if your child eats dairy sometimes or some gluten, but not all, we will either feed them completely dairy and gluten free or we will feed them the regular menu. Thanks for understanding.

Yes, absolutely. We allow one friend request per child. Please make sure you note who they wish to be dorm partners with on the registration form prior to registration day. (There is the occasional time when this is not possible, but rest assured we do everyone in our power to put the kids in a dorm where they have a friend and feel comfortable.)
