Check-in

Check-in time for all sessions is 3 – 4 p.m. Check-in will begin promptly at 3 p.m. Programming on each site begins promptly at 4 p.m., so if you will be arriving late, please call to let us know your estimated time of arrival.
​
All campers will check in at their individual site. We will have staff at the entrance to help guide you. Staff will also be on hand to help unload gear and get campers settled at each site. Health Care will be at each site to check in any medications your camper might have. All medications for youth and adults must be in the original container with the physician’s name on it. 
​
At check-in, campers will deposit their spending money in the “Camp Bank” to spend at the camp store throughout the week. 

Pick-up

Each session ends with a closing worship service and check-out instructions at 2 p.m. Families and friends are invited to this service. We will be done around 2:30 p.m., at which time you can go with your camper to their site to get their gear and sign out with the Site Coordinator. All campers must be signed out by an authorized person by 3 p.m.

Prior arrangements must be made with the Registrar if a child needs to leave before 2:30 p.m. on the last day of the session.
​
If someone other than a parent will be picking up your camper, you must provide that authorization to camp. You can do so in the following two ways: Simply include that information on the “authorized pick-up” portion of the registration, or download the form below, complete and send or bring to your camper’s check-in.

Transportation Permission Form

Camper E-Mail

We encourage you to send your child e-mail throughout the week! It must be received by 9 a.m. for delivery that day. Our printer is black and white – no fancy art or forwardings, please.

Mail MUST be addressed to: Camper@NLOM.org and in the “subject” field be sure to put your child’s first and last name and their camp site. Campers will NOT be able to reply to e-mail while they are at camp.
​
Camper Snail Mail

You can also send your camper snail mail. Campers love getting mail, although they may not write to you as often as you wish! Do not send packages containing gum, candy, or food. Any such items will be held for the camper to pick up on closing day. Camper mail should be addressed to your camper at:

“Camper Name & Site”
Carol Joy Holling Camp
27416 Ranch Road
Ashland, NE 68003
​
We also have an in-camp mail box available when you bring your child to camp. You can drop mail in it and it will be delivered on Monday, or whatever day you indicate on the mail. In-camp mail doesn’t require any postage.

When you register for camp, you will be asked for medical and insurance information for each camper. The registration is not valid until all information is received. We no longer have a separate Health History Form.

Medications

American Camp Association Standards require all prescription and non-prescription medications to be kept locked and dispensed only under the specific directions of a licensed physician. All medications for youth and adults must be in the original container with the physician’s name on it. The directions/dosage on the container is what we are required to follow. All medications must be turned in to Health Care staff at check-in. The only exceptions are medications for life-threatening conditions, which may be carried by the Group Leader after a discussion with our Health Care staff.

Illness or Accidents at Camp

Health Care staff are on duty at camp 24 hours a day. Records of all medications and first aid treatment are filed with the health care staff daily.
​
If there is an emergency or serious illness, parents will be notified by camp staff.

Recognizing that leaving your children anywhere for any amount of time can be very difficult and worrisome, we want to make this experience as anxiety and worry-free as possible for you.
​
First, know that your child’s safety and well-being is always our first priority. Receiving a near perfect score on the American Camping Association accreditation, we are confident in the safety procedures, practices and systems that we have in place.
​
Second, know that we take seriously our role in your child’s faith life. We are grateful that you have allowed us to be a part of your family through this experience.
​
Finally, because we know how hard it can be to disconnect from your children for any amount of time, we want to provide some insights into your child’s week. We will have Summer Ministry Team members dedicated to giving you a glimpse at what your child is doing at Carol Joy Holling Camp. These staff members will be in charge of putting photos online daily at CarolJoyHolling.org. Just click the “Daily Photos at CJH” link on the home page and enjoy!
