Please read all policies carefully. We are not responsible for what you did not take the time to read.
This is a camp for the whole family. We do not host children without a parent/legal guardian.
Camp is going to be held at Faholo Campground in GrassLake, MI.
In the past we have had a Family Pass to cover all the events and activities we host. This year, in an attempt to make this time of fellowship affordable to all families, we will not be charging a fee (aside from the cost of your room or campsite, meals and insurance) but instead we will be taking a love offering. In the past we tried to keep our Family Pass cost to $200 per family. If you are able to contribute to camp monetarily, it will help us secure our meeting space, activities, and a speaker. For a list of current secured activities visit our 2010 FIRE Camp Activities page.
Insurance is $10 per person. The campground requires us to secure an insurance policy which covers each person in attendance from our group regardless if they participate in our events and activities.
Total invoice balance will include Family Camp Insurance, Lodging & Meal Plans (if applicable). The campground requires us to collect all the room/campsite and meal fees and to send a deposit to them. ALL reservations (including pre paid meal cards and lodging) will go through FIRE camp.
What exactly is your cost? Room/Campsite + Meals (if having campground provided meals) + $10 per person for Insurance + Love Offering (if you are able to) = Your Total
Room, campsite, and meal prices listed at the bottom of this page.
Camp deposits go toward your room or campsite fee. A deposit of $50 is due within 1 week of receiving your invoice. (If your total due is less then $50 then the full amount is due.) By May 15th, 2010 50% of total balance is due. (New registrations as of May 15th will be required to put $50 plus 50% of remaining balance as a deposit.) 100% balance payment due by July 10th. (We need to do this to pay the campground.)
All fees are 100% non refundable. Camp fees are transferable to another family for the same week until May 15th, 2010. No exceptions please.
All fees may be paid by check, money order or credit card. Bounced checks will be charged $30. Credit card orders are charged an additional 4% to cover our processing charges from PayPal.
Invoices will be sent within 1 week of registration. Credit Card orders will be sent a request for payment via PayPal. Payments are due within 7 days of invoicing. If minimum payments are not made within 7 days of invoicing or if the 50% and/or 100% due dates are not paid on time, your registration will be canceled and you will not be refunded anything you may have already paid. Sadly, we have to do this in order to protect ourselves due to a history of many non-paying registrations. If there is some way we can work with you to get your payments in without canceling your reservation we are willing to work with you within the parameters the campground gives us to pay them. Contact us. We can’t help you if we don’t know you need/want it.
Families are required to sign and return Hold Harmless Agreements with the campground and with FIRE Camp before camp begins. We must have the full name and address for each person in your group for insurance purposes. (example: Mom, Dad, children and Grandparents that do not live with you.)
Some of the policies of the campground include:
Modest dress: no speedos or bikinis etc.
Smoking in designated areas only ( FIRE camp request: Please be respectful to other families and do not smoke near children.)
No pets.
Finalized details and schedule will be in your emailed newsletter in the beginning of August.
