How old will the attendees be?

Ages will vary. The age range of each camp will be noted with the announcement of the camp.

Do boys and girls attend the same camps?

Yes. The girls' living quarters and the boys' living quarters are in different areas of the campground. All living quarters are chaperoned. Boys cannot go in the girls' living quarters and girls are not allowed in the boys' living quarters. Boundary lines during showers and after lights-out are supervised and rules are strictly enforced. Campers are closely watched and all behavior is monitored. Inappropriate behavior and displays of affection between boys and girls are not tolerated.

Who will chaperone the youth?

Young Foundations, under the leadership of Brother Joseph, will choose all counselors, chaperones, drivers, speakers, and other special guests. If you are interested in volunteering, you can return to the home page and click the "Volunteer" button.

I will be driving my child to camp from out of town. What should I do?

You can drop off your child at the camp (Map) during the registration time frame. If you need help finding overnight accommodations for yourself, you may click this link to see a listing of local hotels.

How will transportation work?

Older campers, who are able to drive themselves to camp, will be given a parking spot on the campground. Campers will not be permitted to leave the campground at any time. Those arriving by plane and need shuttle service should advise Still Waters' staff at office@stillwaterscamp.org of their scheduled arrival time as soon as possible. We will pick up/drop off at Louisville International Airport in Louisville, Kentucky, at the following times only if requested. If the camper's flight does not coincide with our pickup times, the camper will be responsible for arranging transportation from the airport to the campgrounds.

Please email office@stillwaterscamp.org or call 812-889-3333, to request and reserve your seat on the Still Waters Shuttle.

Monday's Pick Up:

• 11 am EDT at Louisville International Airport, Louisville, Kentucky
• 2 pm EDT at Louisville International Airport, Louisville, Kentucky

Friday's Drop Off:

• 5 pm EDT at Louisville International Airport, Louisville, Kentucky

I’m flying in. Where is the closest airport?

The closest airport is Louisville International Airport in Louisville, Kentucky. See Travel Information page. If you choose to fly into an airport in Cincinnati or Indianapolis, you will have to arrange your own transportation, as we do not offer shuttle service to those cities.

Can someone pick me up at the airport and take me back?

Yes, we will pick up campers from the Louisville International Airport in Louisville, Kentucky. Call or email Still Waters as soon as possible to reserve your seat on the Still Waters Shuttle. The Shuttle picks up campers at 11 a.m. & 2 p.m. on the first day of each camp. On the closing day of camp, we will get campers back to the airport by 5 p.m.

We will pick up and deliver campers at the airport at these pre-designated times only. If the camper's flight does not coincide with our itinerary, the camper will be responsible for arranging transportation from the airport to the campground.

Again, if you choose to fly into an airport in Cincinnati or Indianapolis, you will have to arrange your own transportation, as we do not offer shuttle service to those cities.

Can I expect to hear from my child during the camp?

Probably not. Guests will be having so much fun that they probably won't have time to call! We do not allow campers to keep their cell phones at camp, so any call must be made from the camp office or from a chaperone’s cell phone. If your child gets homesick, except for extreme circumstances, we will discourage a phone call home; oftentimes, calling home just makes it worse. We will do all we can to encourage your child to stay at camp. Your child will have access to a phone in an emergency. If you must contact your child, you can contact the camp office at 812-889-3333. If you need information prior to camp, please email office@stillwaterscamp.org.

What should we NOT bring to camp?

• We suggest campers not bring expensive clothing or other expensive items to camp.
• Cell phones are not permitted. (strictly enforced)
• No electronics, laptops, iPods, tablets, etc.
• No device that can access the internet.
• Questionable clothing
• Gum
• Peanut products
• Pets
• Jewelry
• Nail polish
• Knives

Why can't my child bring a cell phone?

Cell phones can be very distracting and interruptive during activities. We find that most campers actually appreciate the "vacation" from their phones! Most of our staff carries their cell phones for emergencies. Your child will have access to a phone if a need arises.

How should we dress?

"He's got to be Lord over your dressing too." Brother Branham, 59-1128, Door To The Heart

Girls:

For our camper sisters to be able to participate in ALL the Still Waters activities in a modest fashion, we have set a very strict dress code. 

Here is a list of some acceptable/not acceptable clothing:

• Skirt lengths must be below-mid calf. Ankle-length skirts are required for all activities, like airsoft, volleyball, etc. 
• No fitted or semi-fitted tee shirts.
• No sleeveless and cap-sleeved shirts. This is a good sleeve length.
• Skimpy undershirts and tank tops should not be seen through your top layer shirt. If your base layer/undershirt shows through, it must be modest and provide good coverage. Here is an example of a base layer shirt.
• No lace. We’re not saying lace is wrong, but it’s not for Still Waters as lace can be worn in a way that is immodest.
• No graphic tees (shirts with pictures and writing on them) at all except for Young Foundations, Still Waters, and your church camp tee shirts.
• No leggings.
• No jewelry. You may wear an inexpensive watch. No Fitbits or Apple watches, etc.
• No fingernail or toenail polish.
• No makeup.
• No pants-type pajamas. You’ll be sleeping in a room with other girls. Please bring a comfortable (knit) skirt and T-shirt or a modest, below-knee-length nightgown and robe. When asked about pajamas, Brother Branham told us this:

"I'm just going to let you do the deciding of that. You shouldn't be parading around before people with them on; I--I know that. So that way it would be, but in the--in going to bed I--I--I don't know. I'm going to have to back up on that one too. I told you I'd be honest if I didn't know. I'm not going to put my own thought about it (All right.), unless you want my own thought. If you want that, I will tell you. See? Now remember, it isn't it--it--this--this could be a million miles wrong. I think it'd look nice to have a nightgown on. But--but if you--but if you... But that's just up to you. Now, I can't--I can't tell you that, 'cause I couldn't back it up. Now, that's--that's--that's me, not Him, remember. See?" Brother Branham, 64-0830M Questions and Answers #3

For swim beach day, you will wear a modest swim skirt and top, which we provide, over your own swimsuit.

The sister chaperones are on hand to help you protect your modesty while you're here. If you have a question about a certain garment, please feel free to ask the sister chaperones if the clothing is appropriate. If at any time the chaperones determine that your clothing is inappropriate for an activity, a change of clothing will be required. If you cannot perform a specific activity in a modest fashion, you will not be permitted to participate in that activity. This dress code applies to all post-camp weekend events at Still Waters and YFYC. We will have extra clothing on hand for you to change into, if needed.

"Women, don’t be like the world, don’t dress like the world. Don’t be these modern things, and all this stuff that they’re doing; keep away from it. You’re a daughter of a King." 61-0205m Expectation

Boys:

We expect our young men to bring clothing that is becoming to sons of God. 

The following items are not acceptable:

• Worldly haircuts. If you’re not sure your hair is acceptable, please take a picture and send it to us.
• Short and tight-legged pants. No skinny jeans.
• Saggy jeans.
• Jewelry (bracelets, necklaces, etc.)
• Graphic tees (tees with pictures and/or writing) cannot be worn at all except for Young Foundations, Still Waters, or your church camp shirts.
• Sleeveless shirts/tank tops.
• Short shirts. Shirttails must be long enough to tuck in when playing volleyball, airsoft, etc.

The boys should bring swim shorts for swim day and pajamas or other sleep attire. If at any time, our chaperones feel that an article of clothing is inappropriate, a change of clothing will be required.

Worship Services:

For worship services, please bring clothing that is respectful to the presence of the Holy Spirit.  Nice/dress casual clothing is acceptable (khakis and dress denim), but, please, no shirts or jackets with any writing or graphics on them. Any Young Foundations or Still Waters shirts are acceptable, excluding the paintball shirt.

"God don't like compromisers. God don't want His Church to look like the world. He don't want it to act like the world. He doesn't want to have anything to do with the world, only to preach the Gospel to the world and to call those forth." Brother Branham, 60-0607 Hearing, Receiving, And Acting

How will the swimming activities be conducted?

During scheduled swim times, all males and females will be completely and totally segregated. During scheduled swim times, all opposite genders (including all staff) will be busy participating in other activities in the game area of the camp which is located in a secluded wooded area on the opposite side of the campground. Boundary line rules will be strictly enforced during swim times. Camp staff will closely guard and patrol all boundaries to ensure complete privacy for the swimmers.

Male lifeguards will be on duty when the boys swim, and female lifeguards will be on duty when the girls swim.

All campers participating in aquatic activities such as canoeing, kayaking, paddle boating, and swimming will be required to wear a life vest.

What about meals?

We will provide breakfast, lunch, and supper (when applicable.) Drinks are included with meals and free bottled water is available and encouraged at all times. You are permitted to send snacks if you like, but we ask that you do not send any peanut products, as many people are allergic to peanuts. Your child may want to purchase snacks, soft drinks, and/or sports drinks from our vending machines. If you require a special meal, such as vegetarian, gluten-free, diabetic, low fat, etc., please contact us at office@stillwaterscamp.org. Someone from our Dietary Department will contact you about this.

What if my child has food allergies?

All food allergies must be noted on the Health History form, which you will complete during online registration. We will do everything we can to accommodate your child's needs. Our Health Supervisor and Dietary Department may contact you before the camp starts to discuss your needs.

My child requires medications. Can he/she still go to camp?

Most likely, yes. Our Health Supervisor will review your child's Medical History form, which you will fill out during the online registration process. The age of the child and the type of medications will be taken into consideration. All campers who require daily medications should bring their medications in the original containers. Please put medication bottles in a Ziploc bag and write your child's name on the bag. Please do not pack the medications in your child's suitcase, as medications will be reviewed by the Health Supervisor at check-in. Again, the Health Supervisor may need to call you for further information.

What if my child is injured or becomes sick during a camp session?

Each camper is required to have provided a signed medical release and waiver prior to camp. If your child gets sick or injured, we will make every effort to contact you or the designated emergency contact person as soon as possible. Our local EMS and hospital will be on call during all camp sessions. If necessary, we will transport or have your child transported to an appropriate medical facility. The closest medical facility is less than 15 minutes from the campground. Parents will be responsible for all fees associated with any required medical treatments.

What if we have to cancel?

If you have to cancel, please email office@stillwaterscamp.org as soon as possible.
