All Campers, Staff and Parents,
We have significant changes for Camp Billo 2025 and hope you will be as excited as we are.
First, camp will be held one month earlier in 2025 and will begin on Sunday, June 15 and run through Friday, June 20. Staff will need to arrive on Saturday, June 14 for a camp tour, equipment and supply set up as well as a review of overall duties and guidelines.
Second, our camp will have a new location at Camp Summers 4H Camp which is located in the same vicinity as Bluestone Camp but will be easier to drive and locate.
These changes have been made for the following reasons:
1) Our cost to rent Camp Summers will be cut in half as compared to Bluestone Camp.
2) We will have full control of the kitchen which means planning the menu as well as preparing and cooking the meals and snacks with awareness of food allergies for several of our campers and staff.
3) The cabins, dining hall and activity areas at Camp Summers are closely located and fenced in as opposed to Camp Bluestone which is spread over a larger grounds area. We hope this will bring us together as a camp with lasting memories for years to come.
The last change to Camp Billo 2025 will be an application fee of $50 per camper, staff or anyone attending camp with no more than $100 per household. This fee will offset the cost of providing each person with a T-shirt, group picture and individual cabin picture. However, do not let this application fee prevent anyone from attending Camp Billo 2025. God will provide. The cost to have Camp Billo is about $200 per camper per week. If you or anyone you know can donate or help with fundraising, we would greatly appreciate it.
We hope to mail the applications out by the end of March 2025 with a definite deadline for return of May 1, 2025. This will allow time for ordering T-shirts as well as purchasing food and other supplies by May 15, 2025.
