How do I register a camper?
Camper registration can be accessed online by visiting www.winshapecamps.org and selecting Register Now. For new campers, select First-Time Camper on the login page and follow the steps to completion. For returning campers, insert your email address and password on the login page. Follow the process to select a new session for your camper, pay your deposit, and update your camper’s information. Upon our receipt of the non-refundable deposit and completion of registration, you will receive an e-mail of confirmation. If you are not able to register online, you can call our office at the above number and we can take your registration over the phone. Please note that this process, depending on how many campers you are registering, can take 15 minutes or more. The deposit is non-refundable once the camper is registered and cannot be carried over beyond the current camp year.
During camp, may I contact my camper by phone or visit my camper?
No. Visitation is not permitted during camp. If you would like to be more involved, you may contact us about our volunteer program.
Will my camper need any spending money during the day?
No. Our camp store is only open at check-in and check-out each day.

Campers are encouraged to bring their own lunches to camp, but Chick-fil-A lunches will be available to purchase Monday through Thursday.

We have an excellent counselor/camper ratio of one staff member/volunteer to every 10 campers, allowing each camper to have adequate individual attention from the staff and volunteers.
May I make a request for my camper to be with another camper during the camp day?
Please read carefully: Part of the positive experience your camper will encounter at WinShape Camps is the ability to meet new campers. WinShape Camps would encourage you not to specify a certain person to share your child’s camp day as it may not afford them this opportunity for possible growth. If you feel this is the only possible way your camper will attend WinShape Camps for Communities, we will try to honor your request if campers are the same age or grade level.
Must my camper have a physical exam?
No. However, you will need to fill out the Medical Forms and bring them with you on the first day of camp. Campers will not be admitted without a completed Medical Form.
What is your policy on behavioral problems?
Parents will be contacted if there is a continuous problem of non-participation in the program, bullying, stealing, telling off-color stories or using inappropriate language, or any other behavior that detracts from the wholesome environment the camp wishes to provide. Profanity is prohibited. Violent, threatening, dishonest, dangerous, negative or otherwise unsatisfactory behavior on the part of the camper could lead to his or her dismissal from camp. Our honor code, which we ask all staff/volunteers and campers to abide by, is "Because I want to honor God, I will: be honest, be positive, and show respect to other campers, staff, and property."
What is the spiritual emphasis of WinShape Camps?
At WinShape Camps, we want to help build strong character in the lives of young people; so we focus on creating a positive, Christian environment where our campers have fun as they make friends and learn more about God. Through daily worship, music, prayer, and devotions, we openly teach about who God is while sharing Biblical truths. Each WinShape Camps staff member is a follower of Jesus Christ who will continually strive to model Christ-like behavior for all of our campers. However, we absolutely respect each individual camper’s right to make their own decisions regarding important spiritual matters.
What is your cancellation/refund policy?
The deposit is non-refundable and non-transferable unless your child’s application to participate in camp is declined by WinShape Camps due to space limitations or other reasons.
