What’s that you say…you’ve got lots of questions?

GREAT! We can’t wait to answer them.  So below are some of the most sought after answers from Camp Lu-Jo!

“How old does my child have to be to attend camp?”
LJK: Each session has its own age requirements, so please check out the “Sessions-Directors” page to discover specifics.   Generally speaking, Camp Lu-Jo has individual weeks which allow for children as young as those entering 1st grade up to those who just graduated from high school.

“When do campers show up for camp?”
LJK: Camper registration does not begin UNTIL 2:30 P.M. Sunday and ends promptly at 5:00 P.M.

“What if I don’t have time to send in a registration form by mail?  Can we just show up to register on Sunday?”
LJK: Of course!  Please note however that each camp week has a MAXIMUM number of beds available, so it is possible to be completely booked.

“When should campers be picked up at the end of the camp week?”
LJK: Pick up begins AFTER 8:30 A.M. and BEFORE 10:00 A.M. on Saturday morning of each camp session.  (Note:  Camp Staff is dismissed at 10:00 am on Saturday).

“Can I bring my stereo, mp3, iPod, Headphones, Gameboys and electronics…stuff like that?”
LJK: Camp Lu-Jo is a fantastic oasis away from all the regular routine things of your life—including your electronics!  Here you’ll get outdoors and into God’s creation with new friends, and you’ll experience firsthand how you can have a closer relationship with God.  So leave the electronics at home.  And trust us, you won’t miss them.

“Ok, so what else should my child leave at home before coming to Camp?”
