What if Camp Fills Up?
Pyro 2 has a history of filling up quickly. If camp is full then students will automatically be placed on a waiting list and notified of their place on the list. Just register as you normally would and when/if a spot opens up then you will be notified immediately.

What if my student has medications or allergies?
We collect medical/emergency information for all campers and counselors. Among the information needed are emergency contact names & numbers, insurance information, allergies/special needs and a complete list of medications taken by your camper. This information will be shared with the camp nurse. Please let us know of any conditions your student may have-the more we know about your student the better we can equip our counselors to meet their needs!

Preparing to Leave

How will students be getting to camp?
We ride school buses! Departure: Please be at Colonial Church at 12:00pm on Saturday August 4th for check in and to load the buses. Our departure time is 1:00pm sharp! Our first meal at camp will be Saturday night supper so make sure your child is well fed and does not bring too many drinks because we will NOT be making any stops along the way.
Return: We will return to Colonial Church on Thursday August 9th at about 2:00pm. We will leave Covenant Pines at about 11:00am and the ride takes approximately three hours.

What if we need alternative transportation?
Late arrivals are not allowed and early pick-ups are strongly discouraged, as it distracts from the camper’s full experience. If alternative arrangements must be made, please email Nicole Lindsay, Youth Ministry Associate, as they must be made in writing and approved two weeks before camp.

Medications
The day we leave for camp, the camp nurse will be available to receive medications and instructions. All medications must be turned into the nurse to be distributed each morning or evening (or as needed). Please place medications in a labeled plastic bag and write out detailed instructions for our camp nurse.

What should my camper pack?
Bring: Regular camp stuff. The packing list has an easy-to-follow check list! Leave at home: nice clothes as many of our activities are outside and create a mess. Please DO NOT pack iPods, cell phones, or game systems. Students will not need them and they run the risk of being lost. Besides, we want students to engage one another and not be isolated behind technology.

How do I get letters and packages to my student?
Due to space concerns we will not be taking letters or packages with us to camp. If you mail a letter on Saturday, it will arrive at the camp on Monday or Tuesday. No mail delivery on Thursday. Letters and packages should be mailed to the address below:

Camper Name – Pyro 2
Covenant Pines Bible Camp
43696 245th Place
McGregor, MN 55760

Is there any way as a parent I can help?
A lot of time, recruiting, and planning goes in to executing a successful week at camp! Please be in prayer for us as we create schedules, plan worship, and put all the pieces together to make these times be experiences your student will never forget. In addition, we incur a great deal of expense between counselor costs and scholarships. If you are in a position to donate just a bit more please do so as you register.

Life after Pyro 2

Is there a way for my student to get involved at Colonial on a week-to-week basis?
Absolutely. The weekly middle school ministry at Colonial is called “CRASH”, and for students grades 6-8. CRASH meets on Wednesdays 6:30-8:00pm. 9th graders are invited to Senior High youth group, which meets each Wednesday 8-9:30pm, or Confo, our year-long confirmation program.
