Campers are encouraged to attend as many age applicable weeks as they wish. Sign up early, we max out at 125 campers (saving 40 beds for faculty adults). Most churches offer to pay a portion of the campers tuition (many pay half the early rate). If scholarship assistance is needed, please email or call our office.
The Cost for your week of camp includes the camp program, 14 hot meals, lodging, 8×10 picture, & camp T-shirt. Canteen Credits are encouraged as an Optional Item which cost $27 for full-week sessions and $12 for half-week sessions. This lowers campers losing money and makes canteen time much more efficient. Extra money is only needed for mission offerings or camp store purchases.

Mail: You may send mail to your camper, but please no phone calls or emails. Please mail USPS mail early BEFORE your child’s week to guarantee delivery before they leave OR, drop off packages and mail during camp check in to guarantee your camper receives it. Often, mail sent to HMCA the week of camp doesn’t arrive until after your camper is back home.
Visitor Policy: HMCA encourages visitors to be the exception rather than the rule during camp. They cause major distractions to campers and most times cause more harm than good. If you must visit, for the safety of all our campers, please follow the camp visitor policy and sign in at the office. Our gate locks at 11:00 pm at night for the safety of our guests and facilities.
Volunteers: If you would like to help during summer camp as a counselor, teacher, or kitchen volunteer, you MUST contact the camp before your week of camp to check on availability and need at least 4 weeks before their week of camp. All volunteers working with children will be required to allow a background check and fill out an online faculty volunteer application @ least 4 weeks before camp begins.
