Answers to Common Camp Questions

What time does camp start and end? On Thursday, August 1st campers can check in between 6:00pm and 6:45pm in the Robertson dorm. Camp wraps up at 11:30am on Sunday, August 4th and campers can be picked up at the Robertson dorm. Parents are welcome and encouraged to sit in on the final Team Meeting at 10:15am in Knight Hall on the north end of campus.

Can I make roommate requests? Roommate requests are optional. You may request ONE roommate, of the same gender and within one grade level. Campers will stay in air-conditioned dorms near their age and gender-appropriate huddle groups. Friends from home will not be far away! We promise a welcoming/comforting environment as soon as your child steps on campus.

What do I do if my child has dietary restrictions/concerns? Northwestern’s cafeteria provides a variety of foods for each meal, with descriptions posted. Most dietary restrictions have been taken into account and almost any diet can easily be met. Campers should communicate any unique issues to FCA Staff.

My child has prescription medication. How is that handled?  Upon arrival, during registration, will need to talk to the Camp Nurse. Campers should pack pills to have easy access for the nurse to log. All medications need to be in a clearly identifiable bottle with name, correct dosing and bring only the amount needed for camp. (This does not apply for “as needed” medications such as ibuprofen, etc.).

Can my child use their phone during camp? Cell phone use throughout camp will be discouraged. Just like school, campers will be expected to lock phones in their rooms to fully engage in practices, huddle meetings, and the evening program. Campers will be able to call home if needed during free times and anytime they need.

Is there transportation available? Potentially! Contact your local staff through their website. Minnesota and Wisconsin have area-specific Camper Information posted. Or search for staff here:  www.northlandfca.org.

Are there scholarships available? Yes! Almost all FCA areas have a scholarship code. Check your state site for more specific information: Minnesota / Wisconsin. Or, search for local staff at: www.northlandfca.org.
