Group Registration

Follow these steps to register your group for camp! Contact our office with any questions. 304-877-6427

  • Reservations allow us to hold spaces available for your campers until they complete online registration.

    To make a group reservation, complete the Group Reservation Form and email it to alpine@abc.edu or call the Alpine Office at 304-877-6427. A $150 reservation fee will be required (credit card or check made payable to Alpine Bible Camp) to hold spaces open for your group. This deposit is non-refundable, but it will be applied to your group’s balance upon registration.

    Availabilities may vary. All group reservations will need to be finalized by April 15. If we have not received registration and/or the registration fee ($150) by this date for a reserved group spot, it will then be available to any camper on a first come, first served basis.

    This group reservation form reserves spaces only. Campers must register online through our website to attend their desired week of camp.

    Please inform the camp office immediately of any increase or decrease in reservation numbers.

    Don’t hesitate in reserving your spot; spaces fill quickly!

  • Be sure to encourage your campers and parents to register online as soon as possible. Make sure each camper registering indicates your group or church name in the appropriate spot on the registration form. Upon registering, campers will receive an email with their invoice and parent pointers for camp. If any information on their registration was incomplete or incorrect, the family will be contacted as quickly as possible.

  • In the weeks leading to camp, you can expect to receive regular communication from our office.

    Monthly, you will receive an update of your group's registration. This update will include a list of which campers from your group have registered, their activity selection, and your group's invoice.

    The Thursday prior to your arrival at camp, you will receive your final camp update. This email will include your group's cabin list, activity selection, invoice, and a list of any other details we need from your group for check in.

    While these are your regularly scheduled updates, you can receive updated information at any time by calling 304-877-6427 or emailing alpine@abc.edu.

  • For Junior and Teen camps, check-in is from 1:00-3:00 PM on Mondays at the Alpine Lodge. When you arrive with your group, please leave your campers in the lobby (monitored by Alpine Staff) and enter the check-in area (Lodge Conference Room). You will first pay any remaining group balance, then check that all your forms are submitted. At this point you will be given a list of cabin assignments for your group. If your campers have any medications (including over the counter medicines), please drop them off at this time before taking your campers to their cabins.

    Please note: If all payments, forms, and camper details are handled prior to check in, your group will get to skip the line and go straight to cabin assignments!

  • Whether you are staying on the grounds as a sponsor or returning home for the week, know that Alpine's leadership team, counselors, and staff are serving and investing in your campers. We want to see them have one of the best weeks of their life and walk away in closer fellowship with God than when they arrived!

    You will receive an email the day before check-out that will outline the simple group check-out procedure for picking up your campers.

Group Leader Info

AS A GROUP LEADER, HOW CAN I BE INVOLVED IN THE CAMP WEEK?

We welcome group leaders (we call them “sponsors”) to come to camp for a reduced price (limited spaces available). Click through the questions for more information, and call us at 304-877-6427 if we can answer any other questions!

  • Yes! We love to have sponsors involved in at Alpine with their campers. Please see your week of choice to see the sponsor price for the week. This price applies to all adult sponsors staying for the week. Children of adult sponsors who are accompanying their parents and not participating in camp come at no charge. See our Sponsor Discount to find out how adult sponsors can attend camp for free!

  • We would love to have you join us for services, meals, and activities. You will be provided with a week schedule upon arrival, and you're welcome to participate in the program as you like; feel free to join in for some activities, then get off campus or take a break at the ABC Coffee Shop. It's up to you!

  • Limited guest housing is available. Options vary from college dorm rooms to fully furnished apartments, and lodging is selected by our staff to best accommodate as many sponsors as possible. You will be notified a week prior to your arrival about your lodging details.

  • You'll need clothing, bedding and towels (depending on lodging details), toiletries, swimwear, and any cash you would plan to spend at the Alpine snack shop or coffee shop. If you will be joining your campers for adventures, please download our Recommended Clothing for Adventures page.

  • Alpine loves having sponsors here to engage with campers. However, for the safety of every child and guest on our facility, we have several rules we ask sponsors to abide by. Please refrain from taking campers off campus, entering camper cabins, or assuming duties assigned to a counselor. Under no circumstances should any adult be alone with a minor.
