Frequently Asked Questions

  • Everyone! At SVBC, we celebrate how God has brought generations and cultures together as a local church family in Christ. Families know and love one another by spending time together. Church Camp is a chance to do just that, so join in for as much as you can!

  • You’re certainly welcome & encouraged to join in the whole weekend, but no—come as you are able. We would much rather have you for parts than for you miss out entirely.

  • First, talk it up with others at SVBC and be sure to invite them to join in!

    Also, we need help Fri at the beach (grillers, welcome crew, food service), help running Sat’s activities (2-4pm), & on Sun AM for the brunch + outdoor worship service (cooking & setup).

    Let Pastor Ben, Juliet, or Jen know if you’d like to serve!

  • No cost to participate. We want to minimize any possible barrier to join in!

    We will have a donation box out on Sunday at brunch for anyone who wants to give. All of it will help offset costs of food and activities that we do.

  • No, just come and be a part of it all!
    If you would like to serve, tell a staff member or email camp@skokievalley.org

  • Glencoe has updated their parking rules near the beach. See here for details and we will provide more as we clarify a few things with the park district.

    With our Trellis rental, we have access for the whole night to their golf cart to help people come down the steep hill from the parking above. We hope to have a welcome team to walkie down as it is needed.

  • This 2-hour chunk will include: a crafts room, pickleball, basketball, a pre-k bounce house, backyard games, Mario Kart tournament, and an outreach opportunity.

  • The church backyard is open to any families or individuals that would like to sleep over Saturday evening. Please bring a tent and all needed supplies. No one under 18 yrs can stay without a parent/guardian, and all people must stay outside in the backyard.

  • No, there are not. As fun as they are, we decided to focus on what matters most—our time together in fellowship and worship.
