- Camp Cost: Go HERE to find out all about camp fees, contracts, and accountability for summer 2025.
- Adding/Dropping Spots: If you would like to add spots to the Wait-to-Add list for camp, please email Shannon Seale and she will let you know if spots are available!
- Adult Guest Program: All Adult Guest questions can go to Annie Bultman. You can register an adult guest through this FORM. All spots are filled on a first come, first serve basis.
- Bus Companies: We have used Ramblin Express, Arrow Stage Lines, or Hermes. There are certainly other companies that have been used and can be used.
- Camper's Leaving Early: Every camper departing from camp early or separate, requires a completed Permission to Leave Early Form. If you have a camper that is departing camp via Home James (a local non-YL affiliated shuttle), please make sure they also complete the CCR Home James Shuttle form so that we know a shuttle will be arriving.
- Transportation to/from DIA: CCR unfortunately cannot offer transportation back and forth between DIA. Click HERE to see options for travel to and from the airport. Please note that none of these are CCR owned, so all require working with an outside organization and thorough planning beforehand.
- Physician Signature: ALL WyldLife campers require a physician signature -- no exceptions. Some high school campers are exempt from needing a physician signature. Read all about it HERE to understand who needs one and who doesn't.
- Immunization Records: We need a copy of all camper's immunization records. These can be uploaded to the online health form, emailed to crookedcreek@ccr.younglife.org, or a copy brought to camp upon arrival.
- Medication: All campers and leaders medication is collected upon arrival to camp. It will be collected at the top of the hill. All emergency medications (ex: EpiPens) will be returned to individuals once it has been logged (by the first leader meeting on night 1).
