Cabin Structure
Crooked Creek has fantastic spaces for groups to stay in that are very comfortable! Rooms are set up with bunk beds that range from 12-20 people per room with a minimum of 2 room leaders. Rooms are divided into Wednesday night small groups to promote group bonding and unity. Boys and girls are never permitted to be in each other’s cabins and students may not be in their cabins alone.

Staying Connected at Camp
We do not permit students to have cell phones at camp so they can unplug from their phones and life for a few days. However, we have an awesome way for you to stay connected with what is happening at camp! We have a special texting group just for Winter Camp parents to join. You will receive photos, updates, and daily recaps of camp as well as our approximate time of when we will arrive back at Mission Hills. Click this link and enter your first and last name, phone number and select “parent” and you’re all set! If needed, the class code is mswc25.

Other Helpful Information
• Check-in will take place on January 24 between 4:00-4:30 PM. Please do not arrive earlier than 4:00 PM. Buses are scheduled to leave at 5:00 PM. Check-in will take place in the Littleton Campus lobby and students will hang out in the Grove until we leave. Please eat before coming or pack a dinner for the bus. Buses should return from camp, on the 26th, at church around 2:00 PM and drop off by the Grove.

• Crooked Creek’s Food Service team is very willing to work with your child’s dietary needs. A special link will be sent to all registrants to indicate dietary needs. For example, they have accommodated food for students who are/have gluten-free, dairy-free, egg allergies, and more. Crooked Creek’s kitchen is 100% nut-free.

• Medication: If your child will be taking any medication over the weekend, they will need to bring them in the original bottle in a ziploc bag with their name on it for our nurse. You will turn all medication in (even non-prescription medications) to our nurse during check-in and fill out an instruction form. Medications will be distributed during meals and at night. There will be reminders given to students to get their medications and we will do our best to get your student their medication but ultimately it is the responsibility of the student to come to the nurse. Please remember to pick up your medication after camp.

• Contacting Students: If you need to get in touch with your student during Winter Camp please contact Eric Price (937.751.8330) or Becky Skinner (bskinner@missionhills.org). We will do our best to respond as soon as possible.
