Summer Camp
Dates, prices, packing list, and more!
Every CBC summer consists of 7 individual sessions of camp, each with a different director and staff.
At every session, you will most certainly be encouraged and uplifted through an experience of Jesus.
You will feel God’s Spirit move throughout camp, be affirmed by making new friends, and gain a better understanding of God’s Word, which will touch your heart and speak to your mind.
AND you will have fun all along the way in your free time, the craft cabin, sports competitions, devotionals, and singing!

Our goal in establishing a dress code is to ensure that all of our campers and staff are comfortable and dressed modestly. It is a very difficult task to define a dress code in absolute terms, but dress should be comfortable and appropriate for the learning environment of deepening their relationship with the Lord. Campers, staff, and visitors are required to adhere to the camp dress code as adopted by the Board of Directors. Both males and females should wear clothing that follows the below guidelines:
All undergarments (straps, boxers), cleavage, and all private areas should be covered. Individuals should be aware of how clothing fits when involved in activities to ensure the clothing does not move too much to reveal the above. Pants or shorts should not sag from the waist.
Shorts should cover half of the individual’s thigh at minimum. Dresses and skirts, at a minimum, should reach the knee. There may be no holes in clothing exposing skin above the mid-thigh.
All clothing should have sleeves. No tank tops, spaghetti straps, or shoulder-less apparel. Shirts must cover the midriff and not be low cut in the front or back.
Clothing should not be excessively tight. Leggings or tights can be worn only with shorts, skirts, or dresses covering to the mid-thigh.
Clothing should not contain references to alcohol, tobacco, profanity, narcotics, or other lewd, obscene, violent, or overly distracting references.
Swimwear should be covered, in accordance with the above guidelines, when coming and going to the pool. Do not go to other places in camp on the way to and from… go directly to the pool or the cabin.
If you think an outfit or specific clothing item is questionable, then we ask that you respectfully choose another item to wear. If a staff member is concerned regarding an individual’s clothing, the goal is to address it without causing a public scene or humiliation. The preferred method is for a concerned staff member to speak with the camper’s cabin counselor to address the issue in a private setting. Any staff member can address an issue with a visitor at the camp, again preferably in a private setting. The final discretion is up to the head counselor if there is any disagreement.
What to Bring With You
Please carry all items to camp in a plastic tote or garbage bag. No suitcases, please. Make sure personal items are labeled with your name on them.

Place all medication and a note including frequency and time meds are taken (morning, with meals, at bedtime, etc.) inside a zip-top bag labeled with the camper’s name and bring the bag with you to Registration.
For the safety of other campers, no one should keep medication in the cabin with them.
Canteen Money
A bank for the camper’s spending money is available during all weeks. At registration you may deposit this money into the “CBC Bank” and the camper may use it for purchases at the canteen and for crafts during the week without having to carry money. All unused funds will be available to the camper or parents for pickup at the end of the week or can be donated to the Marvin Chavis Scholarship Fund.
What Not to Bring
Please do not bring food or snacks except if medically necessary. Any food brought to camp will be collected on arrival and returned on departure. Any food brought for medically-mandated special diets will be kept in the kitchen with the Kitchen Director.
Please do not bring cell phones. Phones will be collected and securely stored on Sunday, and will be returned on Saturday before departure. If a camper needs to be in touch with a parent, the counselor will make those arrangements. Campers can be reached using the camp phone number 336-492-7802.
Please do not bring personal electronics including gaming systems, iPads, etc.
Do not bring cigarettes, e-cigs, matches, fireworks, knives, or weapons.
Please do not bring pets of any kind.
Lost & Found
Each year many items are inadvertently left behind at camp. Please make sure your camper looks in the lost & found before leaving camp. Any left items cannot be mailed or stored for campers so please check before departing camp.
