Summer camp is the greatest evangelistic tool to reach Louisiana's kids. We desire to create a safe place for kids and leaders to step away from the “normal” of life, have fun, build lasting friendships, and have life-changing encounters with God. If you want your kids to have the best summer ever and take their relationship with God to another level, don't miss out on Louisiana Summer Camp!
Throughout the day, campers can go swimming, play gaga ball and carpet ball, experience the blob or the waterslide at the lake, participate in big team games, and more. During services, kids and leaders can engage in powerful times of worship and gospel presentations that will challenge all to grow closer to God. Coming to Summer Camp will be a life-changing experience that you and your campers will not soon forget.
Note: Junior Leaders should be entering high school or older. Their job is to assist their church leaders at camp. Just like the adult leaders, they will be with the campers except when serving in a job rotation. We ask each church to limit their Jr. Leader count to one guy and one girl, if possible, to preserve camp bed space. To register Jr. Leaders use your Group Link via Brushfire, then fill out the above Pastor Recommendation form.

CHANGES TO YOUR GROUP
As the Camp Coordinator for your group, you are able to change a person’s information. You can add or edit reserved spots by filling out the same Registration link above. You can use your ‘manage your group’ password to make changes up until 1 week prior to your camp as long as there is availability. Any camper or leader that is taking the place of another camper or leader must be of the same gender, from the same church, and going to the same camp. With any other questions or changes, please email aglasummercamp@gmail.com for all camps.
DROP DATE AND INFORMATION
A camper and/or leaders spot is reserved by group deposit AND info filled in via online Group Brushfire link. 20 days (about) prior to each camp's start date, all spots reserved that do NOT have camper info filled in will be released. For 48 hours, first to churches reserved to that camp, and then to the public at large. February 13th is the start date for ALL Group Registration. Note: churches can first collect deposits from campers prior to reserving online group rates, but run the risk of missing the desired camp rate due to growth in attendance and possible weeks selling out quickly.
GENDER
All campers and leaders will be assigned dorms on the basis of Gender AT BIRTH. No exceptions will be made to this guideline.
HEAD CHECKS/LICE CHECKS
Every group will be required to perform lice checks prior to camp. On the first day of camp, coordinators will send in verification of completion prior to arrival.
LEADERS TRAINING VIDEOS
There will be a series of training videos released that must be watched by every leader prior to camp. Your camp coordinator will send in verification that the videos have been completed prior to arrival.
REGISTRATION REPORTS
Camp Coordinators will receive periodic, automated reminder emails containing a link to a registration report. This link may be accessed at any time to show current students and leaders registration status. Please check the report often to ensure that information is accurate. Please pay close attention to gender and age of each student and sponsor. NOTE: Last-minute gender changes could result in your student not being able to room with your church.
CONFIRMATIONS
The Camp Coordinator will receive a confirmation two weeks before your camp start date to verify payment information. Team colors will not be released until ONE WEEK before camp. All campers who pre-ordered shirts will receive a shirt in their team color upon arrival. A limited number of extra shirts and other merchandise will be available for purchase at camp.
