WHEN IS MY BALANCE DUE & WHAT IS YOUR REFUND POLICY?
Full registration balance is due two (2) weeks before arrival. A full refund may be given if camper cancels with valid reason (in writing) at least two (2) weeks before his/her camp session starts. If cancellation is received less than two weeks before his/her camp session starts, no refund will be given unless we are able to fill you child's spot. If we can fill their spot, a full refund less $25 will be given. No refund will be given to a camper who becomes ill during camp and goes home, or if a camper is sent home for behavioral reasons or chooses to go home for any reason.
DO YOU BACKGROUND CHECK YOUR COUNSELORS/STAFF?
For all Counselors and Staff 18 years and older we conduct criminal background checks (national, state and county), SSN verification, residency history, and do annual National Sex Offender checks. We also do FL driving record checks for all chaperone drivers and power boat operators.
DO YOU OFFER CAMPER SCHOLARSHIPS "CAMPERSHIPS"?
Yes. Please note that you must register for summer camp online before applying for the scholarship. You must also provide the $100 deposit to reserve your camper's spot. After you create an account online and register for camp you will be able to access the "Document Center" icon on the left side bar and choose "Campership Application". The Shiloh Adventure Campership Fund is meant to supplement the amount which families are unable to afford. Generally individual camperships range from $100 to $225 of an individual camper's fees. However, full camperships are available for extenuating, hardship circumstances. In order to make the funds available to as many children as possible, each family is asked to pay as much as they can reasonably afford. For planning purposes, families seeking assistance should 'plan' to share in 1/2 of the financial burden. All applications are due 2 weeks prior to Shiloh Camp (May 27, 2012).
HOW DO YOU GET TO CAMP?
We are located at Long Point Park 700 Long Point Road Melbourne Beach, FL 32951. We are located about 15 miles South of Melbourne Beach on A1A on the right hand side, or 2 miles North of the Sebastian Inlet bridge on the left. Click HERE for MapQuest Directions.
CAN MY CHILD REQUEST TO BUNK WITH A FRIEND?
Yes, There are 6 to 8 campers and 2 counselors in each cabin. During registration, you can request a "cabin buddy", however they must be within the same approximate age (1 to 2 year range) and must be the same gender. We will make every attempt to meet your cabin request. Shiloh Adventure Camp reserves the right to modify "cabin buddy" requests based on availability or circumstances that may effect the well being of your child or other children in the cabin.
DO YOU HAVE A DRESS CODE FOR CAMPERS?

"Punk" hairstyles and un-natural hair colors are not allowed. Earrings and long hair are not allowed for boys. Girls are allowed no more than 2 stud earrings per ear. Absolutely No pierced body parts allowed. "Short shorts" and "spaghetti straps" are not allowed and expensive outfits are not necessary.
WHERE DO WE CHECK-IN FOR CAMP?

The Check-in process includes: Medicine turn into nurse, check for head lice, cabin assignments and meet your counselor.
CAN MY CAMPER LEAVE CAMP DURING THE WEEK?
We ask that your campers not leave during the week. Leaving takes them away from an important part of the camp experience and disrupts camp for them and the rest of the campers. However, if you have to check out your child for a doctor's appointment or other reason, please call the camp office ahead of time and check in at the office before meeting with your child. No unannounced visits are permitted. Please note, only the approved persons including parents/guardians on the Authorized Release form may check out the camper with proof of ID and signature.
Please note, only approved persons listed on the Authorized Pick Up form online may pick up campers. They will be asked to provide ID and sign Check-Out form. On Friday evening please be there at 5:30 for closing ceremonies. Closing ceremonies will end at 6:45. This is a very special time for the campers, so please try to make it on time. Campers WILL NOT be released until the end of closing ceremonies so please plan accordingly.
DO YOU HAVE A LOST AND FOUND?
Yes, At the end of Closing Ceremonies, parents/guardians please be sure to stop by the lost and found to ensure your camper's stuff does not get left behind. You can also help the process by labeling all clothing, bedding...etc with the camper's name in black marker. Camp is under no obligation to replace lost clothing. Each Camper is responsible for his/her belongings.
CAN I CALL MY CAMPER DURING THE WEEK TO TALK WITH THEM?
We strongly discourage parents from visiting or calling campers at camp. Contacting your camper usually takes away from the camp experience and tends to make things worse for homesick campers.
CAN MY CHILD HAVE A CELL PHONE AT CAMP?
In order to keep the campers from being distracted and to minimize the chance of stolen phones, we ask that NO cell phones be brought to camp. If a camper brings one, or is found with one it will be turned into the office and given back at final check-out. Of course if there is an emergency, you will be able to get in touch with your child by calling our main office number 321.452.3943.
CAN I SEND MAIL TO MY CAMPER?
We encourage parents to send letters, or a care package during the week of camp. Please plan ahead so that your camper can receive them well before they leave camp! Send cheerful letters with a positive focus on camp, not what they are missing at home. Campers are also allowed one (1) care package for the week. Please limit the amount of candy, food and beverages. Keep in mind that food/drinks are not allowed in the cabins.
