Camp rules & regulations

Respectful. Responsible. Ready.

By registering as a camper, campers of all ages and their parents agree to cooperate with the staff and obey Dayspring’s rules and policies. Everyone entering the campgrounds agrees to be respectful, responsible, and reasonable.

Unacceptable behavior can result in dismissal, including forfeiting any fees paid. Dismissal requires a parent’s immediate pickup of the camper, day or night.
