2025
To register your church group for camp, please click the proper camp registration link below. Starting in 2025, your gender-specific bed request will not be approved until we receive at $25/bed, non-refundable deposit. By doing this, we are not limiting the number of beds you request anymore. If paying by check, email Dana.Hicks@westflorida.ag so she can hold your beds.
Note: This pre-registration is NOT the final student/leader registration. Once the group/student has done the pre-registration along with the first deposit, the official camp registration link will be sent to your group leader/parent/guardian. This link is not to be published publicly as it could mess up our bed counts for each camp.
Note: If your child would like to come to camp but is not part of a church group, please use the group registration button below. Followed by an email to
Dana.Hicks@westflorida.ag to let her know. If there is a church that is attending that you would like for your child to be roomed with, please also let Dana know. We cannot guarantee it, but will work hard to accommodate your request.
STEP 1 - Submitting a Pre-registration Request
Your Church will fill out and submit a Camp Pre-Registration Request for 2025.
STEP 2 - Actual Registration and Deposit Payments
Registration and deposits should open on or by February 13 at 6pm central time.
Will beds become available if a group does not pay?
- Beds will come available if they aren’t paid for by the set deadlines or a group leader releases them. When beds are released, they will be added back to the bed count on the planning center online registration form. Should registration his capacity and we created an overflow list, then as beds become available, they will go to that list on a first come first serve basis.
What system will be used for deposits?
- Payments can be made through Planning Center this year. However, any payments made by credit card or ACH will be made to pay the service fee. If a payment is made by check to avoid the fees, please make sure you have emailed Dana to let her know the amount of payment being mailed & which camper/leader the payment is to be applied to. You many say entire group if that’s accurate.
How will the spreadsheets work?
- Once your group has pre-registered, your group leader will be sent a link to a Google Spreadsheet to track your groups registrations, expenses & payments. Look for your groups church name at the bottom tabs and select the appropriate church to see your groups info. This spreadsheet will allow you to accurately track everything from registrations received, whether they purchased a camp shirt, camp survival bag or if they qualify for a camp discount. The sheets will allow communication between West Florida YouthMin and the group leader. Please lookout for information on Zoom calls will go over how these sheets function and will be a great time to ask any questions you may have.
