When should I arrive?
Try to arrive 5-15 minutes prior to the start of camp to help us begin program on time. Children must be walked onto campus and signed in. Campers cannot be dropped off at the curb.
Where do I pick up my child?
Pick up and drop off will be at your child’s small group area. Children may be in closing rally when you arrive. Please wait for your child to get back to his area so you may sign him out. Children must be signed in AND out.
Can I pick up my friend’s kids?
Every parent will receive 4 security cards with her child’s unique security code. As long as you have this card, or a photo of it on your phone, you may pick up your friend’s child.
Who will be my child’s leader?
You will receive an email in the week prior to camp with your child’s leader name, group number, and all other important information.
Can my child with special needs come?
Absolutely! We offer special needs buddies for all activities; we call this program Safe Harbor. Just designate your child’s extra needs on the registration form, fill out a special needs family form on our special needs tab, and our Special Needs Leader will contact you and match your child with a buddy.
Can I volunteer?
Please do! 7th graders through adults are welcome to fill out the volunteer link on the registration form. Live-Scan fingerprinting, for volunteers 18 and older, is required to serve in any position at our Breakaway camps.
Why do you charge for Jr High volunteers?
This is a “Leader in Training” volunteer spot – Our Middle School pastors come alongside the 7th and 8th graders to disciple and pour into each of the students and offer special training and opportunities during the week. It’s a growing year since kids are transitioning from campers to volunteers. This is not just a volunteer position; we try our best to start our Jr High volunteers off on the best possible foot so that serving can be a success for them.
Do adult volunteers need to be Live Scanned?
If you have already been Live Scanned for Bayside you are good to go. If you are unsure, email us at breakawayblueoaks@baysideonline.com and we can check. If you have been Live Scanned for another entity that info can’t be shared so you will need to do it again. All volunteers (18 years and over) need to be Live Scanned. Please go to Five Star Fingerprinting ( http://www.5starfingerprinting.com/index.html ) with a valid photo ID and $35 fee. Hours of operation are Monday – Friday, 9am-5pm, no appointment needed.
I’m volunteering. When is training?
coming soon
What if I can't make the volunteer training?
We view training a very important part of Breakaway and encourage everyone to attend if they are going to serve. Teams are formed and have an opportunity to learn about their area of camp. However, we do understand that it isn’t always possible. If this is true for you please contact our registrar at breakawayblueoaks@baysideonline.com to schedule a make-up training.
Do you offer scholarships?
Yes. We understand that not all families are able to afford the camp fees. A limited number of scholarships are available for Breakaway Kids Camps. Please refer to FAQ's – Scholarships for more information.
Can I get a refund?
Camp is nonrefundable.
