What if I Have to Cancel My Registration or My Camper is Sent Home? Our Lamoka Baptist Camp staff strives to maintain a safe and productive atmosphere at all times. The camp Director reserves the right to send any camper home for disciplinary reasons at his sole discretion. Campers who fight, use profanity, and behave inappropriately are disruptive to the entire Camp, and will not be permitted to stay. Campers sent home for disciplinary reasons will not receive a refund of any monies paid. *If you must cancel your camper’s registration before camp starts, we will refund all but $50.00. After a camper is signed in to camp on Monday, there will be no refund for any reason.
How Does My Camper Buy Things? Anyone who wishes to purchase items from the Hunger Haven, Bookstore, or Craft Barn must exchange their money for a card in the registration line or in the bookstore. This applies to campers and visitors. Camper's money cards will be given to their counselor with the proper name and amount noted on the card. Friday evening all cards will be collected and all remaining money will be returned to the camper/parent on Saturday morning.
There is an offering each week on Wednesday. Please encourage your child to participate in giving to this ministry. This amount can be noted on the card. If you would like to limit the amount your camper can spen each day it can be arranged.
**These bank cards will be the responsibility of your child’s counselor.

What if My Camper Has Other Obligations During Camp Week? It is our goal to make your child’s stay at Lamoka Baptist Camp the highlight of the summer. We strive to create a community in which all campers are actively involved 100% of the time, which is difficult when campers leave for sporting events or other engagements. Please try to make arrangements within your schedule so your child can remain at camp for the entire week.
What not to bring? Cell phones, audio or video devices, knives, drugs, alcohol, expensive jewelry.
When Is Check-In and Check-Out? Registration starts at 9:00 a.m. Monday morning and check-out is 9:00 a.m. Saturday morning.
Phone Calls: A benefit of attending camp is gaining independence and confidence. Homesickness is an occasional camp problem, one that we deal with regularly and successfully. It can be made more difficult when campers call home or when parents call camp to speak with their child. Please call only in an emergency!
How Can I Correspond With My Camper During Camp? Mail from camp is taken to the post office daily. If your child would like to write home, please include some stamps, and envelopes or postcards. Please feel free to mail letters or packages to your child while at camp. Mail that is received after the camper has gone home will be returned to the sender. Please plan ahead and send mail early in the week to be assured postal delivery.
Address camper mail to: Lamoka Baptist Camp PO Box 70 Tyrone, NY 14887
