Is financial assistance available? 

We don’t want finances to be a barrier for anyone who wants to come to Middle School Camp. Scholarships are available based on need and availability. To apply, please fill out this form. 

We want camp to be a place where students build real friendships, grow in faith, and fully experience God’s presence—without digital distractions. Research shows that taking a break from constant screen time can reduce anxiety, increase joy, and deepen relationships. That’s why this year we are asking students to leave their phones at home!

But don’t worry! We know as parents you want to make sure you know your student is safe and they have a way of contacting you if necessary.

Here are a few ways to stay connected during the week of camp:

1. Sign-up to receive text communication. We will be using text communication specifically for transportation updates. We’ll let you know when buses have safely arrived at the camp location on the first day of camp. Additionally, we’ll use text communication to let you know when buses have departed the camp on the last day and provide an ETA so you can plan to pick up your student accordingly. To sign-up to receive texts you just need to text “YES” to 317-768-0777 or update your communication preferences in your myaccount on the TPCC website.
2. Watch for daily recap emails. Each day of camp we will send a summary of the students’ day, how you can be praying for them, and a link to photos so you can catch up on all their fun!
3. Call the direct camp contact number. We know sometimes things happen back home and you need to get a hold of a staff member and your kiddo. We are currently working with our team to provide a phone number that connects you directly to one of our staff members who can answer questions and offer next steps. We’ll share this number as we complete development, so you are resourced going into camp.
4. Encourage your student to communicate with their group leader. Your student’s group leader is there to guide and facilitate their camp experience, but they are also your student’s main resource should they have a need. Leaders will always have their personal cell phones with them as a direct line of communication with staff. Forget a pillow? We got you. Tell your group leader! Not feeling well? Tell your group leader! We have medical volunteers onsite to help. As you prep your student for camp remind them what a resource their group leader is and give them examples on how they can advocate for themselves. We want to provide the best camp experience possible!

You can include all food allergies and dietary restrictions on the camper registration form. Accommodations for food allergies will be made during all mealtimes.

Rooms at Country Lake are dorm-style, with a shared bathroom in each dorm. The dorms are air-conditioned and house 34 people. Groups are housed together.

We want every student to be able to attend camp and understand that late arrivals and early pickups might be necessary. Due to the number of participants, late arrivals are only allowed through 9 pm on June 2, and early departures are permitted from 7:30 am to 9:30 am on June 5.
