How do I register for camp?

Use our new online registration process.  (Meadowkirk uses a service provider for our registration process that assures us both complete privacy and full security over the information you enter.)

Online Registration will be available January 15, 2009!

If you would like to register before that date, please fill out the Camper Registration Form (PDF) and mail it along with your deposit (one half the cost of your session) to Meadowkirk.

The Health Form (PDF) and Camper Information Form (PDF), along with the remaining balance of the cost of the session, will need to be submitted two weeks before the beginning of your session.

Is there a deadline for registering for camp?

There is no specific deadline for registering; however, we do suggest that you register as early as possible in order to guarantee that the camp session you want to attend does not fill up! We will do our best to keep the website up-to-date and post which sessions have been filled on the Camp Details page.

Do you have a scholarship program?

Yes. For information on donating to or receiving camp scholarships, please call the office at 540-687-5565.

Who are your counselors?

Our counselors are all young adults who are committed to the Christian faith, enjoy working with children and youth, and are at least 18 years of age. Many are returning staff or campers from Camp Glenkirk! All will go through an intensive two-week training at the beginning of the summer. We also run a National Criminal Background check on all of our staff.

Can I go to camp with a friend?

Each camper may request one friend to be in the same cabin. There is a spot on the registration form for you to make note of your requested friend. Both campers must request each other to insure that this request is met. We do ask that you limit requested friend to one person as this insures our ability to foster the best camp experience for all involved.

How much does camp cost?

Our rates vary depending on the type of camp session you are interested in. You can find the rate for a specific camp on the Camp Details page.

What happens on a typical day at camp?

Because we have a variety of camp programs, there really is no such thing as a "typical" day. However, to give you an idea of what will go on this summer you will find to the right our best attempt at providing an example day.

Do you have to be Presbyterian to come to camp?

Not at all! We are owned by the National Capital Presbytery, but Meadowkirk celebrates diversity and welcomes all campers of all denominations.

What time do I show up?

Registration for each camp session will take place at 4 pm on Sunday.

How do I get there?

See our Directions page. Once you get on site, there will be signs pointing you in the right direction.

What time is pick-up on the last day of camp?

Camp ends with a Closing Worship service.  Parents are invited to attend the Closing Worship service and then pick up your child at its conclusion. Closing Worship begins at 3 pm on Friday (Tuesday for Family Camp) and will conclude by 3:30pm.

What do I bring with me?
