FAQs

GROUP REGISTRATION

  • Yes and no. As long as you have a chaperone, we will welcome any group regardless of size. Unfortunately, we cannot have any students attend unchaperoned.

  • Technically, no. In order to officially reserve your spots, you must pay $75 per person at the moment you submit your registration.

    And no, we will not need names. All we need in order to get your group registered is a total number (including all chaperones and campers).

  • Yes…as long as there is space available within your week. If there isn’t space available, you can always put your spots on a waiting list and will then be contacted as space allows.

  • For information and a video guide on how to access your account as the leader and view who has completed your forms, click here.

    We have sent you, the group leader, instructions via text to send to your parents and chaperones. Please text 833-721-6255 if you have not received this information.

    Parent/chaperone forms are due May 30th.

  • We offer early registration on Sunday evenings from 8:30-9:30pm for any group interested. Early registration is $20/person and is due upon arrival Sunday.

    Meals are not included by the University in the Culinary Center until dinner on Monday unless you notated it on your Group Info Form ahead of time. If this information wasn’t submitted, he group leader will be responsible for planning/purchasing breakfast and lunch on Monday.

  • You will need to bring 1 chaperone for every 8 students per gender*. You must have male and female chaperones if your group contains both genders.

    Leaders who bring a baby/child with them are required by AU to stay in Family Housing*.

    Their responsibilities are to make sure that all of your teenagers are getting to where they need to be throughout the day. They are also there to help advise and counsel your teenagers with their daily walks with Christ. Throughout the day, chaperones will participate in all activities (besides tournaments + Color War) as if they were a camper themselves.

    *Any leader staying in Family Housing would not count toward this 1:8 ratio as they wouldn’t be staying in the dorms with your group.

FINANCIAL

  • The total cost is $340/person. Cost includes activities, room and board (4 nights lodging and 11 meals), camp materials, and camp T-shirt.

    April 15th: Final Numbers Reported (no balance due) & Drop Deadline

    June 1st: Final Balance & Forms Due ($5 per person per week late fees will be charged after the final balance deadline.)

  • Unfortunately, no. If you let us know before the April 15th deadline, you will not be charged the remaining balance for that person. Because dropped spots are then offered to waitlisted groups, requests to add spots back will be considered only if space permits. You’ll submit a Group Change Form with your requested updates and we will get back with you!

FACILITIES & HOUSING

  • Camp is located on the campus of Anderson University in Anderson, SC.

  • You will be staying in college dormitories. Most rooms are double occupancy and have two beds, two desks, two chairs, and two dressers. (There are a few one and three person rooms on campus that we use.) Bathrooms vary based on each dorm. (Some rooms have private baths, some share with the room next to it, and some have hallway baths shared by all.) If you're a youth pastor/group leader, make sure to notate any requests on your Group Info Form.

    What To Bring:

    • You will need to bring your own linens to fit a twin size bed.

    • Each group will need to bring enough hand soap and hand towels for all of their rooms and/or shared bathrooms.

  • If you will let us know in advance by emailing info@claytonkingministries.com, we will try to meet those needs. We also ask that you have the group leader notate this on their Group Info Form as well when it becomes available mid-May.

  • If the week is sold out, unfortunately, we will not be able to open the main sessions to additional guests. However, you are welcome to make arrangements with our team at the Help Desk to "sub-out" someone from your group roster in order for a guest to sit with your group. The "sub" will sit in our overflow room to watch the session via live stream. Additionally, any guest that comes during a sold-out week may join our overflow room at any time.

    *Note: all guests regardless of where they are sitting must check in with our staff at the Help Desk to receive a guest wristband.

    If the week is not sold out, guests are welcome to join our main sessions. However, please be sure to check in with our staff at the Help Desk prior to entering the auditorium.

    *Any guests that attend must be able to show proof of a background check.

  • Yes, visitors can eat in the cafeteria but must pay a per meal rate at the front entrance.

  • Under no circumstances should a guest visit students in the residence halls. Thank you for your understanding!

  • Please review the Dining at Anderson Allergens & Food Preferences provided by the university in order to best prepare for selecting food while in the culinary center.

  • While there is limited and basic on-campus dorm housing available, it is not ideally suited for families or short-term guests. To ensure a more comfortable and convenient stay, we strongly recommend securing hotel accommodations.
