Camp Allendale’s sessions fill up quickly due to our limited capacity and the incredible experiences our program coordinators and directors provide. To help ensure that children from our partner churches can attend camp with their church group, we’ve created a priority registration process.
Priority registration links are exclusively available to partner churches and their members, giving them the first opportunity to secure spots at the lowest price—before applying any church discounts (if applicable).
For 2025, Priority Registration for partner churches will launch at 6pm on January 20 and will run through the end of March.
On April 1 at 12am, registration will be open to the public through our website and the Early Bird discount will be removed.
The Allendale Camp Committee, which is made up of program coordinators and directors, recently reviewed the common challenges our campers face. They found that younger campers often struggled with homesickness, behavior, and other issues as the week progressed. The team made an important decision after considering this alongside the need to accommodate parents' work schedules and other factors.
To address these concerns, the length of camp sessions has been adjusted at the discretion of the Camp Committee members serving as Program Directors each week. While some sessions remain the same length, sessions for younger campers have been intentionally shortened to provide them with a more positive and unforgettable camp experience.
The camp sessions listed with church names next to it signify the churches that are promoting that week of camp and will be providing leadership and volunteers for that particular session. So while we highly encourage campers to attend the session that they are affiliated with by location/church, we want to make sure every child has the opportunity to attend camp.
When you go through our registration software, you will be shown all of the different camp sessions that your camper is eligible for based on their grade level.
