Summer Camp Information
Planning for Camp
Send your completed reservation form with payment to Guest Services, Bob Jones University, Greenville, SC 29614-0001. You may also fax your completed camp form to 864.242.3923. Registration will close 10 days prior to the beginning of each camp.
Campers may each make one request to room with a friend or sibling. Room requests must be mutual. We will do our best to fulfill each request, provided it is made on the reservation form.
A $50 non-refundable deposit is required when the reservation is made. The balance can either be paid with the deposit or will be due on arrival. Payments can be made by credit card (Visa, MasterCard or Discover) or by check.
Payment will be refunded only if cancellation is received 10 or more days before the beginning of the camp. There is no refund for cancellations made after the 10-day notice period has expired. If the requested camp is full, we will issue a complete refund or place your name on a waiting list.
If you find that you cannot attend the week of camp for which you registered but would like to attend another camp, a nonrefundable $25 processing fee will be charged for transferring the reservation. Transfer requests must be made 10 days before the beginning of camp.
After registering, all campers will receive an information sheet with additional details about what to bring and how to prepare for their specific camps. Please do not make airline reservations until you have received a confirmation.
