Still Waters

Click on the Calendar button on the home page and follow the on-screen prompts. A Young Foundations ID number is required to register.

Click on the "Sign Up" button on the home page or go to youngfoundations.org and click the "Sign Up" link. Fill out and submit the on-line form. You will receive an e-mail shortly after that with your YF number. Return to stillwaterscamp.org and click on the "Calendar" button.

At the end of the on-line registration process, you will receive a confirmation of registration and can print your receipt. You will also receive a confirmation e-mail.

Because of a limited number of openings, you can only register for one camp per year. You will be given an opportunity during the on-line registration process to be placed on a waiting list for future camps.

Only those who have registered may attend camp. Parents, siblings, friends, or other non-registered guests will not be permitted to attend any portion of the camp.

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

Yes. The girls' living quarters and the boys' living quarters are in different areas of the campground. All living quarters are chaperoned. The sister chaperones stay in the living quarters with the girls, and the brother chaperones stay in the living quarters with the boys. 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.

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.

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 Young Foundations' staff at office@stillwaterscamp.org of their scheduled arrival time as soon as possible. We will pick up campers at the airport at pre-designated times only. 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.

You can drop off your child at the camp during the registration time frame. If you need help finding a local hotel to stay at, we would be more than happy to assist you in finding accommodations. Just send an e-mail to office@stillwaterscamp.org.

Probably not. Guests will be having so much fun that they probably won't have time to call! We do not allow cell phones at camp, so any call must be made from the camp office. If your child gets homesick, except for extreme circumstances, we will discourage a phone call home; oftentimes, it will make 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 812-889-3750. This number is only available during camp. If you need information prior to camp, please e-mail office@stillwaterscamp.org.

"For to please God, we must believe His Word and keep His Word. And then, Father, so is it today, that every son or--of God, every daughter of God, in order to please God, must keep God's Word." 61-0402, The True Easter Seal.

We all desire to please God and strive to keep His Word. In keeping with the Word, we have set a very strict dress code. There’s lots of fun things for you to do at Still Waters, such as: canoeing, kayaking, paddle boating, bike riding, volleyball, swimming, even paintball, and much more!!! So you can see that it’s very important that you choose your clothing prayerfully and bring clothing appropriate for all activities.

Worship Services:

For worship services, casual clothing is acceptable (khakis and nice denim), but, please, no shirts or jackets with any writing on them. Any Young Foundations shirts are acceptable.

Girls:

Since you’re going to be so active, your skirts should be longer and looser and your necklines higher and shirttails longer than what you may wear for your daily activities at home. Splits in skirts should be way below the knee. Please bring at least three, ankle-length, denim skirts that are fuller -- not too straight and/or restrictive. You need to be able to climb in and out of boats and ride a bicycle – modestly -- with your knees covered! If you play paint ball, you’ll be running, diving in bunkers, climbing towers, and dodging paint balls! So, remember also to bring a skirt that can get paint splattered! Don’t bring sleeveless shirts for outerwear. Form-fitting and see-through clothing is not appropriate at any time. Please, do not bring your jewelry to camp. We’ll keep you on schedule, so you won’t need to wear a watch.

You’ll be sleeping in a tent with other girls. Please bring a knit skirt and T-shirt or a modest, knee-length gown for sleeping attire. 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?" 64-0830M, Questions and Answers #3.

Bring a modest, below-knee-length robe for walking outside between the shower house and your sleeping quarters. Leggings should only be worn as sleep attire during cold weather and should be covered by a long gown or dress-length sleep shirt or gown. Leggings should not be worn during the day as outerwear.

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 requested. If you cannot perform a specific activity in a modest fashion, you will not be permitted to participate in that activity. We will have extra shirts and extra skirts on hand if needed.

Modest swim dresses, which we provide, will be required for all the sisters who want to swim in our private beach area. The dress will be worn over your swimsuit. The swim dress can only be worn in the water and at the beach during designated girls' swim sessions. Girls will have to change back in to their regular clothes when their swim session is over. There will be no exceptions to these rules.

Boys:

We expect our young men to bring only clothing that is becoming to sons of God. Please do not bring any jewelry (bracelets, necklaces, etc.) or any clothing with questionable phrases or pictures. Please do not bring saggy jeans or short pants. All shirts should have sleeves; no tank tops or muscle shirts. Don't forget to bring pajamas. You will have to walk outside of your sleeping quarters to use the shower and toilet facilities. If at any time, our chaperones feel that an article of clothing is inappropriate, a change of clothing will be required.

The boys should bring swim shorts. They will have to change back in to long pants and a shirt when their swim session is over. There will be no exceptions to these rules.

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.

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.

All food allergies must be noted on the Health History form which you will submit in advance. We will do everything we can to accommodate your child's needs. Our Health Supervisor may need to contact you before the camp starts.

Most likely, yes. Our Health Supervisor will review your child's Medical History form which you will submit prior to camp. 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. The Health Supervisor will dispense all medications. Please do not pack the medications in your child's suitcase as medications will be turned over to the Health Supervisor at check-in. Medication bottles will be returned to your child at check-out. Again, the Health Supervisor may need to call you for further information.

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 Health Supervisor is a trained paramedic. He will assess your child's condition and make a decision as to how to proceed. 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 any and all fees associated with any required medical treatments.

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