You can pay online through your camper’s account. Once you are logged in go to the financial section and click the “make a payment” button. There you will be able to pay with a debit/credit card. If you would prefer to mail a check please send it, and a note stating the name of your camper(s), to P.O. Box 3200 Springfield, MO 65808.
We require a nonrefundable $55 registration fee deposit to be paid when you submit the online application for your camper. Please know that this fee is included in the total cost of $775.
We ask that the final payment toward your camper’s balance is made by April 1st. However, if you need an extension please contact Kelli Hinderliter to set up a payment plan. Please know that Barnabas wants to work with each family to make paying for camp as stress-free as possible.
Absolutely. Every camper deserves to have a life-changing week at Barnabas! They also have a right to a safe and healthy week. In order to make sure your camper is well taken care of we do have a few general extra medical care need protocols we have to follow:
First, contact our Director of Medical Services Linda via email ([email protected]) to discuss your campers’ needs in detail prior to camp.
Second, if your camper requires overnight medical care, we require camper families to provide a private nurse during their time at camp.
Third, if your camper has a trach or utilizes a vent, we require camper families to provide a private nurse as well.
We have a dedicated team of doctors and nurses that stay on camp grounds at all times throughout the summer. Members of this team are in charge of administering daily medications, tube feedings, health checks, etc.
At this time, our registration process is done completely online. If you do need help with registering your camper please feel free to contact our Camper Registrar.
Each week that we have is geared to a specific age range and a set of diagnoses. The youngest we can serve is 7 years old and some weeks you can not age out. If you have any questions about the ages served each week feel free to consult our summer schedule page on our website. If you have questions after going over that information feel free to contact our Camper Registrar.
All of our weeks will start on a Sunday and they end that Friday. We begin the camper check-in process at 4:00 p.m. on Sunday. And we ask that our parents arrive at camp no later than 5:15 p.m., that way your camper can be settled in their cabin before they need to go off to dinner. Our gates will open back up at 10:00 a.m. on that Friday. We will have a short closing ceremony for our families that will begin at 10:30 a.m.
Every camper will have a one-on-one volunteer that stays with them throughout the entire week and is there to help meet all of their needs. In addition to our one-on-one ratio we have a policy that states that no camper will ever be alone with just one volunteer or one staffer. Our number one priority is the safety of everyone who enters through our gates each week.
When it gets closer to the summer we will send all of our camper families an email that includes our Barnabas Bound Packet. This packet has a wealth of information including a packing list, party information, a medication form, directions and much more.
