A medication form will be provided to list dosage and times of medication dispersal. Over-the-counter medications, such as vitamins and melatonin, will not be accepted at drop off. With permission, age-appropriate over-the-counter medications will be provided by the camp and administered by the nurse to your camper, if necessary.

Campers will visit the Snack Shack and the Camp Store at least once during their visit. Spending money at these locations is optional. Carolina Creek does not accept cash or credit cards. Funds can be added to your camper’s account through the Carolina Creek Portal.
-
Campers are grouped by gender and grade. Groups typically consist of 8-10 campers and two trained leaders, one from New Hope Church and one from Carolina Creek. Campers eat, bunk, and engage in all activities with their group.
-
Bunkmate requests can be submitted on the registration form. We do our best to honor every bunkmate request, when possible. Campers must be the same gender and grade to qualify for a bunkmate request.
-
Once registered through New Hope Church, a link will be sent for campers to register on the Carolina Creek Portal. This link will allow parents/guardians to finish registration information, including medical information, emergency contacts, as well as an opportunity to add funds for campers to spend at camp.
-
Yes, closer to camp, a parent letter will be emailed to registrants with a camp schedule, packing list, departure/arrival details and more!
