How to Apply for Financial Aid
Registration for Summer Camp 2024 is now open! This will be South Mountain Christian Camp’s 50th Summer Camp Program and we can’t wait. Click the “Register Now" Button to connect to our new software. Accounts with UltraCamp will no longer link to our summer camp program. The registration process will be a little different this year but one thing that has not changed is our financial aid policy. For the past 50 years South Mountain Christian Camp has never turned a child away for financial reason. If you would like to apply for a scholarship, please enter coupon code SCHOLARSHIP and submit the financial aid forms during the registration process. There will also be convenient payment plans available for families that can pay camp fees but need to pay overtime. If you have any questions, please email us at smcc@southmountainchristiancamp.org
“Let the little children come to Me"
Luke 18:16
The day gets started off right with breakfast at 8:30 am. Our cafeteria staff have been up early to fix some of your favorites--eggs, bacon, biscuits, and grits are among the most popular items. There’s also a variety of cold cereal in case you’re extra hungry.
After breakfast, it’s back to the cabin for cleanup. The Assistant Directors will be coming around later for inspection, and the cleanest cabins will be rewarded at lunch. Maybe today you’ll do a little decorating to make a good impression.
On Friday mornings, we have a baptism service for campers who have accepted Jesus into their hearts as Savior and Lord and wish to be baptized here at camp. If you do not wish for your child to participate in the baptism service, you can easily indicate so on the Camper Application.

How long does the field trip last?The SEEDS programs are designed to be full-day field trips. We generally get started around 9:00 am. We'll do 1 1/2 hours of activities, take a break for lunch, then do another 1 1/2 hours. We can make some adjustments to the program if necessary to make sure you can get back to school on time.
-
What is the cost for the field trip?We make every effort to keep the costs of our program as low as possible. We are currently offering SEEDS for just $8 per student. There is no charge for adults.
-
How should we plan for lunch?Our cafeteria is available as an eating area, but we will not be serving meals during your visit, so students will need to bring their own lunch. We also have an area outside the cafeteria with plenty of picnic tables if you'd like to eat outside.
-
How many students can we bring at one time?We are able to accept two or three classes (of the same grade level) on the same day (up to about 60 students). These students will be kept in two separate groups for most of the day.
-
Do we need to bring chaperons?Yes. Because we will occasionally be working in small groups, the program runs much more smoothly if you have 3 adults (including the teacher) accompany each class. You are welcome to bring more adults if you like, and there is no charge for adults.
-
Do you offer this program all year?Unfortunately, we are only able to offer this program during the Fall of each school year. In the future, we hope to be able to offer this program in the Spring also, but our current staff limitations make it impossible to do so at this time.
-
What do we do if we have bad weather?You have three options. You can cancel the field trip, reschedule for another date, or plan to come anyway. We have a wide variety of hands-on, educational activities which can been done indoors if necessary.
-
How do we make a reservation?You can make your reservation using the online form below. If you have trouble finding available dates, call the Camp office at 828-245-3322 for assistance. Space is limited!
