1.  How is your staff selected?
Counseling staff must be 18 and in most cases have completed 1 or more years of college.  Staff who apply must supply the interviewing team with 3 references, one of which must be their pastor.  Each staff member is subjected to a drug test, background check with the National Registry Agency and tested for TB.   If selected, they are interviewed by the camp director and aproved by the board.   Beside the counselors we have support staff that will assist the Kitchen Manager and counselors as they carry out their day-to-day activities.    Overseeing the daily activities of the staff are two Program Directors who hold BA Degrees in youth ministry and elementary education.  Two of the staff members are also trained as Camp Health Officers, one female and one male.   Most importantly Greenwood staff profess to know Jesus Christ and strive to walk in His footsteps. 

2.  When do I bring my child to camp and pick him/her up?
Five day campers register Sunday afternoon between 4 and 5 o'clock in the camp office.  Campers are picked up on Friday afternoon between 4:30 and 5:30.  For further information about the camp your child is registered for please check the website.

3.  Do campers need to bring any money?
While there is a camp store that will be open daily, parents should leave money for their child to purchase items at the time of registration.  Campers should not have money during the week as all purchases at the camp store will be made based on the money deposited in the campers account.  The store will have healthy and nutritious snacks and beverages.  Should your child forget toothpaste, toothbrush, soap, or any other items, the store will also carry these items.  In addition, we are encouraging all campers to bring a water bottle or canteen that they can use days at camp to help stay hydrated.  The store also has additonal T- shirts and sweatshirts for sale.

4.  Does Camp Greenwood offer scholarships?
Yes, however most scholarship money is limited to $100 per camper.  To apply for a scholarship you should go to the website and print the application.
