Great Summer Fun and Learning at Camp One Way!
This summer our campers will experience the fun of learning with camp games, music, and outdoor activities on the lake and on the trails. Exploring the Bible...in God's Back Yard is our theme. Rev. Johnathon Morthland is the Dean for all camps. All campers will learn more about God's Back Yard with Bill Moorehead.
A service project for the Conquerors will give them a chance to share their energy and God's love in our community.

About Our Camps
Many young people consider our summer and winter camps one of the highlights of their year. Getting to know others in a friendly atmosphere, sharing with those who have similar interests and challenges, seeing friends from last year, and just having fun are some of the great attractions of camp.
Our counselors choose to invest in campers' lives through teaching, games and sports, and leading team events. Our energetic staff balance a lot of fun with Bible-based teaching throughout the week, using a variety of indoor and outdoor activities, structured and unstructured programs, and chances for whole-camp, small group, and individual participation. They spend months preparing a program that is both exciting and relevant to each age group that visits our camp.
Our counselors and staff come to camp knowing that our efforts will be worth it if just one life is touched or one seed is planted. Even so, God has blessed us year after year with an overflowing of changed lives as He has chosen to work in the hearts of our campers.

Frequently Asked Questions:
How do I register for Camp? ONLINE! It is super fast and easy.
How do I know if my child is registered for a week of camp? You will receive a confirmation email if you register online.
Does a week of camp fill up? Summer camp spots fill up quickly, so be sure to register early.
Can a camper come to more than one week of camp? Yes, provided that they meet the age requirements for both camps. We do require a separate registration form for each camping event.
Can I room with a friend? We will do our best in rooming assignments. In order to room with a friend you must be sure that the friend is registered and the request is noted on the online registration.
Can I leave camp early or for an event? Camp One Way feels that the best way for a camper to experience the full benefits of camp is to not leave during the week. However, we do understand that this is not always possible. If a camper must leave early or for an event, make arrangements with our staff to do so.
Can the campers have visitors? We do our best to discourage regular visitors from stopping by during the camp week because it disrupts the week and can introduce issues of homesickness. If you do come to visit during the week we ask that you call ahead and let the director know. We also ask that all visitors leave before campfire that evening unless previously arranged with the staff.
Can a camper come with a different age group other than the one they are in? Because the weeks of camp and curriculum being taught are geared specifically for the grades listed, we generally do not allow mixed ages among camp weeks unless otherwise arranged with camp staff and parents.
Can campers receive mail during camp? Yes! Please address mail in the following manner:
Campers Name
Camp Session Name
c/o Camp One Way
1654 E 2945 North Road

Are campers allowed to use the telephone? Campers are not permitted to make phone calls unless it is arranged through the camp staff. Please remember to leave all camper cell phones at home before coming to camp.
What activities are included in a day of camp? At Camp One Way, campers spend their mornings attending lesson time, worship, and other planned activities. The afternoons include recreational activities such as swimming, canoeing, basketball, team building, and group recreation. The evenings include a chapel service, fun evening activities, and campfire. The campers will also enjoy three meals a day, as well as snacks a couple times a day.
What about medicine and medical needs during camp? During registration time, all medicine must be checked in with the registrar. Meds need to be in clearly labeled containers (preferably RX containers) and are kept by office staff during the camper stay to protect all campers. Meds are presented to the camper at appropriate times during their stay; they are NOT dispensed by staff. If a camper becomes ill during the week we will call the parents to come and get the camper.
What is camp food like? Camp tries to offer a nutritious meal as well as meals that the campers will like. Breakfast might consist of eggs and biscuits, pancakes, cereal, fruit, yogurt, milk, and juice. Lunch could be a sandwich: hamburgers, BBQ, chicken patties, etc. Supper is a larger meal: tacos, nachos, pizza, spaghetti, BBQ chicken, vegetables, salad, dessert, and drink. If a camper has food allergies, we will do our best to accommodate each child's dietary needs and allergies. If there is special food involved please inform the camp in advance.
Can the camper bring food to camp? No. Health department regulations do not allow food to be kept in the rooms. Depending on the week, we may ask campers to provide a snack to share, which will be kept in a common area.
What do I bring to camp? Bring a Bible, paper and pencil, clothing suitable for camp, bedding, pillow, towels, wash cloths, toilet articles, bathing suit (one piece only or a t-shirt to wear over), sunscreen lotion, camera, flashlight, insect repellent, sunscreen, and sneakers.
What is Camp One Way's dress code policy? Modest clothing must be worn at all times. Clothing that advertises alcohol or tobacco products is not considered proper.
