Registration & cost
Registration opens Sunday, February 1. Space is limited and registrations will be accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis, so please register early to ensure your space is reserved!
We recognize that a weekend away may be restful for some, and stressful for others, so we're offering opportunities for Day, Overnight, or Full Weekend registration.
We are incredibly thankful that the majority of the costs of the retreat are being offset by a generous donor, and through the Thriving Congregations Initiative. Costs include all meals, lodging, and activities. Our hope is that finances will not pose a barrier to any family hoping to attend; please reach out to our camp office to discuss financial assistance, or if your family size differs from what is listed below.

Food & Allergies: What can the kitchen accommodate?
MBC is a nut-free camp program, and the kitchen can easily accommodate nut-free, dairy-free, and gluten-free diets. Fasting and non-fasting foods will be provided. Please reach out to the office to discuss any other needs. Families are welcome to bring supplemental or preferred foods to store in the cafeteria or kitchen as needed, and can access a toaster over and/or microwave for simple food preparation.
Staff & Support: How will staff be equipped to support my child?
Upon registering, you will be asked a number of questions about your child's support needs and preferences, which will be used to match them to an appropriate support person. For example, an AAC user would be matched with a professional or paraprofessional who is well-versed in supporting AAC use. Our camper support coordinator is more than happy to meet with you and discuss specific needs, behavior support plans, or any other resources you'd like to share.
Families are welcome to share any resources or materials that have been developed for school or home settings. Activities will be flexible and allow for families to step in and out of the program as needed, however, we hope that you will feel entirely confident in our support team and be able to fully engage in the parent sessions as they're scheduled.
If you're interested in having a familiar PCA join your family for the weekend to support your child, please reach out to our office to discuss those logistics.

Physical spaces: What limitations exist in the space?
The majority of our buildings on the campgrounds are equipped with ramps and ADA accessible bathrooms. Due to the nature of camp, some of our roads are unpaved (dirt/gravel), which can pose a challenge for some mobility devices. We do have a golf cart available for those who may need a ride!
