Camp days are fun and busy, but vary depending on which camp you attend. Breakfast is followed by morning small group or prayer room time, lunch, afternoon activities or class, dinner, evening service and games. The evening sessions are a time of corporate worship, group games, teaching and preaching, and ministry time. Expect your teen to return home tired; we run a vigorous camp schedule to maximize your teen’s experience at ATC.

ATC merchandise is available to purchase at the Forerunner Bookstore, and a snack and beverage canteen is open for teens for the duration of the camp. Past campers have suggested bringing about $100 per camp session. However, there are no required personal expenses during ATC.

It is highly recommended, but not required. If the teen does not already have coverage, many companies sell short-term coverage for as little as $30. If you decide to purchase health insurance, it must be purchased before camp enrollment.

Homesickness is common among teens during summer camp—a wonderful home deserves to be missed! It can be hard to make adjustments to a new environment with new people; however, it is a great opportunity for growth. We want to encourage teens to embrace the encounter God has in store for them, but we know it isn’t always easy. Should you receive a letter or a phone call from your homesick teen, encourage him or her and focus on talking about what he or she is enjoying at camp. If you have concerns, please call the ATC office. We are happy to put you in touch with your teen’s counselor if the need arises. Help your teen understand ATC’s communication policy so he or she isn’t surprised once they arrive at camp.

In rare circumstances, the camp director reserves the right to dismiss any camper whose influence or actions are judged to be detrimental to the best interest of other campers. Actions include, but are not limited to, consistent disrespect of authority, giving or getting piercings, possession or use of drugs and/or weapons, theft, self-abuse, inappropriate physical contact, and sexual activity.

All Group Leaders are selected after an application process which includes references, an interview, and a background check. Most Group Leaders are students at International House of Prayer University or staff at the International House of Prayer of Kansas City.
