How It Works

Campers will receive a schedule of activities and virtual events prior to camp. Each day of camp, we will have a blend of online activities and self-guided offline activities (some activities will also be geared toward intergenerational opportunities for the whole family). Campers will receive a unique username/password to login to a virtual camp site for the week (montlure.virtual-camp.org), as well as for additional small group check-ins for the rest of the summer. Campers will also receive a camp t-shirt, water bottle, and various program materials and resources needed for the whole week.

Our summer staff has been working incredibly hard to reimagine and develop a program that aligns with the mission and value of Montlure, while also utizlizing tools and resources in ways we’ve never imagined.

In addition, we will release camper workshops following our Virtual Camp weeks to allow campers and staff to come together through shared interests.

While it may be a summer we never imagined, it will truly be a summer we never forget. This is, Camp Reimagined.

For questions, please email Camp@Montlure.org.

Each week, the program will run schedules from Sunday late afternoon through Thursday night. (Friday morning, we’ll have an optional Open House and recap of our week together.) Schedule is interwoven with online and offline activities as well as time factored into the evening for optional family activities.
Download a overview schedule here, and/or see our FAQ page for more detailed schedules and information.

All campers will also be able to participate in small group check-ins throughout the remainder of the summer following camp. These groups will meet twice a week. A schedule will be sent to each camper before their camp week is over.

Camper Check-ins

The selction of Tier does not change the experience offered to your camper. These are unprecedented times and we are doing the best we can in order to provide a service to our community. By electing for a higher tier, you are paying more closely to what it costs us to run this program, while also helping us offset costs for other families.

If you are unable to pay the lowest-level $50 registration fee, please contact camp@montlure.org.

Campers will need online access to fully participate in our camp program.

We will send a full week schedule about two weeks prior to camp so arrangements can be coordinated with the family.

Campers will need at least one computer, ipad/pad, or smartphone.
Their device will need to have a working camera.

We will only be using our virtual camp platform (montlure.virtual-camp.org) and Zoom. We are keeping online resources simple and to a minimum.

We understand there may be campers who do not have this access. Please contact camp@montlure.org to discuss options prior to registering.

We are constructing camper packages that will include Montlure camp memorabilia along with all the needed resrouces for camp including program materials as well as print outs of activities and instructions.

At this time, we are hoping to offer some “drive-thru” pick up times/locations of the boxes, we are working develop a delivery system within the Montlure Council, and we will have the ability to send packages to campers who are further away. More details will be emailed to registered families, however, we hope to keep postage costs down as much as possible and will continue to find ways to do so.

Other than online access, campers do not need any other supplies. However, a markers, glue/tape, and scissors may be helpful. In addition, we will be encouraging campers to construct a space for camp for the personal devotion time and some of their offline activities. This could be a tent in your backyard, a tent in the house, a fort made from couch cushions, or even a fort built in a bedroom with blankets and pillows. They will not need to do this prior to the start of camp as they will receive more instructions, but we wanted to let you know ahead of time so you can assist gathering materials/making arrangements in order to help make this a memorable and special week. (By all means, this does not need to be elaborate in any way! Just something that can be set apart for camp all week long.)

As always, the safety of our campers is our first priority. This includes online safety. We are working to develop and scrutinize online safety protocols for our program this summer. They will be emailed out to campers/families prior to camp along with a safety video designed specifically for campers to watch to with parent/guardians.

We will also hold various “Virtual Open Houses” in order for families to log in, test their technology, go over safety protocols, and answer questions. Dates/times of open houses will be email to registered families.

We are diligently looking at every angle. While we are developing our best-practices, reviewing it with professionals and our Montlure Camp Council, you are welcome to email camp@montlure.org for questions, and/or suggestions on how to keep our community safe.

We know this is an incredibly hard summer to be a 12th grade camper; a summer in which it is the last to participate as a camper. We see you. You are not forgotten.

We have a few things in store for you this summer, but beyond that, we want to make a promise to you: We cannot promise when, but we can promise we will, have a special Seniors-only lock-in during the 2020-2021 school year. More details will be sent to all registered senior campers when we are able to give more information. You are loved!

Similar to our event to be held for seniors, we also want to promise: We will have an in-person get together for all Montlure campers. Whether that is at the end of the summer, Fall break, Christmas break…at some point, when we are safely able to gather together, we will hold the biggest Montlure rally of current campers ever! More details will come!

We understand not meeting in-person this summer is a difficult time for our community. We want you to know virtual camp is not a replacement for camp indefinitely. We know it isn’t the same. We know there is a lot to grieve about our time physically apart this year and that there is nothing better than physically being at camp together. But virtual camp is a way we can intentionally stay connected, have meaningful conversations about faith, and still have some fun (we promise!) in this weird time in human history. In addition, we know there are those out there who have yet to come to camp with us and this is a great introduction to our community! We are excited to meet new campers. 

By making the hard, but appropriate decision to suspend in-person camps this summer, we get to hold camp next summer. Hold on to that thought. There are many reasons why this has to happen this year given our circumstances (see montlure.org/covid-19 for more), but we do look forward to our camp reunion in 2021. And what a glorious reunion that is going to be! So let’s stay strong, stay connected this summer by reimaging what camp looks like in this time of history, and continue to explore where God is working in the midst of at all. Together.
