You should bring clothes, towels, sheets, a pillow, and toiletries. Meals will be provided, and you can bring snacks to keep in your residence hall room. Single beds in residence halls are usually ‘extra-long,’ but ordinary sheets can typically be stretched to fit.

The camp fee is $595 for residential campers and $395 for commuters. The fee covers all camp-related expenses including meals, a camp T-shirt, program expenses (example: CPR Certification), and for residential campers this includes the room in the residential hall.

Students will live in a residence hall with Camp Counselors, who are current LVC students chosen specifically for that task. The residence halls are always locked, and LVC Campus Safety officers are always on duty. The camp director can be contacted at any time by the Camp Counselors.

If a student gets sick or injured, parents/guardians will be contacted. In case of an emergency, the student will be transported to the nearest hospital.
