What do you do for security?
            Every visitor has to check in through our main office.  If a child needs to leave early with a parent, they must be checked out thru the camp office and thru their church leader as well.  We also lock the gate entrance at night.

Is your staff certified?
            Yes, our waterfront staff all have current lifeguard, waterfront, and CPR certifications through the American Red Cross.  All of our ropes staff is also ropes course certified by adventure experiences and CPR certified through the American Red Cross.

Who do you hire for summer staff?
            Camp WOW only hires Americas finest collegiate students.  They all go through a thorough application and interview process.  This process includes a background check.  Camp WOW’s directors recruit in several states to find students who love Christ and kids.

How much money should my child bring?
            We have found that on average campers bring $20.00.  This is to  be used in the snack shack to buy snacks, t-shirts and things of that nature.  You can also purchase WOW cash which puts their money on a card so if they lose it we still have the account on file.  This can be pre-purchased through your church, our store, or they can do it when they arrive.

Who stays with my child in the bunks?
            Camp WOW staff does not stay with the campers.  Campers will stay in dorms with counselors form their church group.

How do I know that my child will be safe?
            Camp WOW takes every precaution to ensure the safety of the students who come through our facilities.  We accomplish this by certifying and training all of our staff with safety being our chief goal.  We also give every a group an orientation with our camp rules first thing when they arrive.

How deep is the waterfront?
            The lake is 30 foot deep but is only used for riding tubes.  Life jackets are required in this area and a maximum of two campers are allowed at a time.
            The swimming area has a shallow end of 5 feet and a deep end of 12 feet.  All campers must pass a swim test before being allowed to take part in the deep end without a life jacket.  In the deep end we have a 1:1 staffer and 1:2 lifeguard to camper in the water ratio.  We do this to ensure the safety of every camper.

What if my child has a food allergy?
            Camp WOW will allow campers to bring and store food in the kitchen for use during their stay.

What if my child needs to take medication or medical treatment?
            Every group that comes is required to bring a certified nurse that will stay in our nursing station.  All of the medication must be turned in and will be handled by the groups nurse.

How do I contact my child?
            In case of Emergency you can call the Camp WOW office (580)892-2600.  You can also send emails to your camper by clicking on the photos and email logo on the parent page.  This is a 1 way service and they cannot send an email back.  There are phones that they can use with a calling card or call collect (unless the group is not allowing it).
