Our counselors are trained to care for homesick campers with warmth and experience. In most cases, campers are thriving within a few hours. We will contact you if a serious issue arises.

List all allergies at registration. Our kitchen staff work with serious dietary needs.

We ask that families wait for Friday's closing program to protect the full camp experience.

No cell phones, tablets, or personal electronics. Cameras (non-phone) are allowed for designated photography time at some camps.

At Sugar Creek Bible Camp, no two days are ever the same! Campers work together as a cabin to plan their days, choosing activities that best fit their group’s interests—whether that’s hiking, creek stomping, service projects, or another of the hundreds of activities available each summer. This unique approach lets every camper have a say, ensuring a fun and personalized camp experience! The schedule also adjusts depending on the program and age group, so there’s always something perfect for everyone.

Possible Activities Include:

• Archery

• Arts and crafts

• Interactive Bible study

• Campfires and worship

• Cooking meals over the fire

• Horse rides

• Creek stomping

• Pool parties

• Disc golf

• Canoeing

• Mountain biking

• Teambuilding and cooperative games

• Frontier farm chores

• Hiking

• Nature activities 

Canteen: Campers may bank money (~$4 per day) to use at camp for snacks and drinks in the Snack Shop Canteen. You can put money in your camper’s account on CampWise or at check-in.

Riverboaters and other off-site programs will be allowed to purchase snacks off-site.  They may bring a small amount of pocket change instead of banking money. Unspent funds can be donated to our summer mission project, campership fund, or will be returned at the end of the week.

Families may purchase Sugar Creek apparel and other items for their campers in the Trading Post, the Camp Merchandise Store, during camper arrival and departure times. You can also purchase items through our online shop 24/7.

While Sugar Creek Bible Camp is not responsible for lost items, we strive to assist in locating any belongings left behind. To help us find your item quickly, please provide a detailed description when submitting a Lost and Found request. 

If your missing item is found, we will contact you with options for pick-up or shipping. Please note, you will be responsible for any shipping costs. If you happen to find an item you previously reported lost, kindly let us know so we can update our records.

For hygiene purposes, any clothing or bedding left behind is washed in our laundry facilities. Unclaimed items will be donated after September 15. For further assistance please call 608-734-3113 or email Office@SugarCreekBibleCamp.org.

Get ready for a fun, faith-building adventure at Sugar Creek Bible Camp this summer! Here are some faith practice ideas you can do before camp:

• Practice looking up Bible verses as a family, here are a few to get you started!

  • John 3:16

  • Isaiah 40:31

  • Joshua1:9

  • Mark1:17 

• Sing camp songs or meal graces from camp! One of Sugar Creek’s favorite meal graces, sung to the tune of the Superman Theme: “Thank You, God, for giving us food. Thank You, God, for giving us food. For the food that we eat, And the friends that we meet Thank You, God, for giving us food! Amen, amen, amen.

• After your camper is all done packing, gather around your camper and their items and pray for their upcoming week at camp. Example: “Dear God, bless (Camper’s Name) week at Sugar Creek. May (Camper’s Name) have an amazing week making new friends, exploring nature, and learning about You! Bless their cabinmates and counselors, may everyone have safe travels and be ready to make memories together. Amen”

Other ways to prepare your camper for camp:

• Practice a night away from home with a sleepover at a family member’s or trusted friend’s house. 

•  Practice a night outside with a backyard sleepout. This allows your camper to become familiar with new sounds and sights outdoor adventures bring. 

• Share memories of your own camp experience, this helps your camper imagine what their time at camp will be like. 

• Prepare for homesickness. Let your camper know it’s normal to miss home when away and talk through solutions of how to handle their emotions like talking to their camp counselor. Encourage them to think of how proud they will be for overcoming homesickness. More tips on Homesickness at Camp. 

• Talk about goals they have for camp including activities they want to do, friends they hope to make, or ways they want to grow. 

Mail: Campers love getting mail, but please, no food or candy! Sugar Creek highly recommends bringing letters with you to check in. Otherwise, plan to put mail in the post a full week before your camper’s session at Sugar Creek.

Phone Calls: Campers are not allowed to have their cell phones or other technology devices at camp. Parents/Guardians, do not promise your campers that they may call or text you from camp, or that you will call them. Sugar Creek finds that phone calls home make it harder for your camper to adjust to camp life and often make homesickness worse. The Program Director, or other designated person, will call you in case of an emergency, severe homesickness, injury, or illness that prevents your child from participating in camp activities.
