WHAT TO EXPECT

High School Winter Retreat is an opportunity to start your year off the right way - by setting our hearts and minds on Jesus. Come with your friends, or come to make new ones! Winter Camp is a mix of what you miss most about summer camp, and unique elements only experienced at this Retreat. Come to have fun and be encouraged in your walk with Christ, whether you have ever been to a Dunes summer camp or not.

WHAT NOT TO BRING

To remain consistent with our purpose and to foster an atmosphere focused on Christ and relationships, DO NOT bring the following items: cell phones, iPods, cameras, fireworks, firearms, knives, drugs or alcohol.

Camp Clothing Guidelines

We understand that not everyone will share our convictions, but we ask that while campers and staff are participating in programs at Dunes Bible Camp, they follow the guidelines we have set: No clothing with obscene language or imagery, or political slogans. Girls: no exposed midriff; please wear one piece swimsuits or full-length tankinis while swimming (pro tip: wear a dark colored tank top over your bikini). Guys: shirts stay on unless it is a water activity; no speedos.

Payments & Refunds

Campers are not guaranteed a spot until a completed registration form and full payment is received. In case of cancellation, the Dunes will retain a $25 administration fee.

Lost & Found Policy

Dunes will keep all lost and found items for 30 days. After this time, they will be donated to a local charity.

Cabin Buddy

On the registration form, campers have the opportunity to request a friend to be in the same cabin. We will do our best to honor these requests, although we cannot make this guaranteed (especially when there are several friends requesting each other).

Visitors

Safety of the campers is our priority. We do not allow visitors. If you need to reach your camper, please contact the camp at 360.665.5380
