Arrival Day: All camp sessions begin on Sunday afternoons. Specific details about your camper’s check-in time will be emailed to you before your camper’s session. In order to expedite the check-in process, please be sure to submit all health forms, make payments, and deposit funds to the camper bank prior to your arrival.
Departure Day: Pickup is around breakfast time on Saturday morning. Specific details will be emailed to you as your camper’s session approaches.
For our summer programs, there are several pieces of health information that we must have by mandate of the State of New Hampshire. These include:
All of this information is outlined, in detail, in our Summer Camp Info Packet.
We have a suggested packing list available in our Summer Camp Info Packet.
We do our best to accommodate campers with dietary restrictions. Our food service staff would be more than happy to speak with you about your camper’s needs, whether that’s alternative meals or storage space for food sent with the camper. To contact the food service staff, call the Camp Berea office at (603) 744-6344 and ask to be transferred to the kitchen.
Please note that all foods prepared in our kitchen and snack shops are nut-free (with the exception of coconut). (However, foods containing nuts can be purchased from the vending machines and/or may be packed by other campers.)
A licensed nurse is on site at all times during our Summer Camp sessions to dispense medications. In addition, the majority of our full-time staff have CPR, AED, and Wilderness First Aid certifications.
If your child is taking any medication (prescription, over-the-counter, or vitamin) at the time camp begins, please have it ready to turn in at the Health Center check-in station along with clearly written instructions for the nurse. All medications (including over-the-counters) MUST come in their original containers and have your child’s name on them. No medication is allowed to be kept by the camper or cabin leader in the cabin. Per state law, Camp Berea cannot dispense medications to your camper that they have not already taken previous to camp. No meds in weekly pill containers will be accepted.
There are several ways to stay in touch with your camper while he/she is at camp:
While we aim to keep the cost of camp as affordable as possible, we understand that, for some families, the cost of camp might prove to be too great of a financial burden. For this reason, we have a limited amount of campership funds available for our Discovery Camp and for Junior/Senior High Week #1.
Camperships are granted based upon financial need. To apply for a campership, please complete this form and submit it to our office.
All programmed activities are free of cost. However, some free-time activities have an additional cost, and the camp store (Berea Outfitters) is open for campers to buy Bibles/books and Berea Ministries merch all week. We recommend between $50 and $100 for spending money for the week.
