Day Camp Sessions
Our day camp sessions are perfect for new campers who are looking to try camp for the first time or those who live locally. Day campers participate in all the same activities as our overnight campers but return home before dinner.
Camper drop-off is 8:30 AM and pick-up is 4:30 PM.
Lunch is provided.
3-Night "Super Starters" Sessions
Our 3-night mini sessions are ideal for younger campers or those new to overnight camp. "Super Starters" will get a feel for all things Camp Lookout and experience the full range of camp activities in a bite-size format.
1-Week Sessions
Our week-long sessions are our most popular sessions, offering campers a full range of camp experiences and ample opportunity to build relationships with others.
These sessions can be combined with a session at Camp Carvela or with a Crystalaire Adventures trip for an extended camp experience.
2-Week Sessions
Our two-week sessions are ideal for experienced campers and those who want deeper immersion into our camp culture and community.
These sessions can be combined with a session at Camp Carvela or with a Crystalaire Adventures trip for an extended camp experience.
"The Cojourn" Teen Leadership Experience
"The Cojourn" is our capstone camp program for campers ages 16-17. This unique 20-day experience is designed and led by participants to cultivate an intentional, supportive community in which participants can explore their identity and relation to others.
Important Enrollment Information
Waitlist

Payment and Cancellation Policy
(Updated 12/02/2021)
Deposits and Payments:
An initial payment of 20% will be due within one week of your registration. After your initial payment has been made, a monthly payment plan will be set up. The amount you will be charged per month will be calculated based on how many months remain until June 2023. The remaining balance will be spread out and charged to your credit card on the 1st of every month and the final payment will be due on June 1st, 2023. Please contact us if you prefer to pay via check or cash. Balances can be paid in full anytime.
To calculate your initial payment amount, multiply your balance by 0.20.
Refunds and Cancellations:
If, before December 31st, 2022, WE need to cancel your camper’s session due to COVID-19 or any other unforeseen circumstance, all of your total payments will be refunded less a small $50 administrative fee.
If, after January 1st, WE need to cancel your camper’s session due to COVID-19 or any other unforeseen circumstance, 50% of your payments made (or should have made if paid in full) will be refunded**. This method helps cover any direct costs (materials, staffing, insurance, taxes, etc.) that camp has already paid in preparation for your camper to attend camp. We are always happy to chat more about this, just contact us at 231-299-0005, thank you!
** For families with multiple campers, only 50% of what has been paid for ONE of your accounts will be held and 100% of sibling accounts will be returned.
If YOU need to cancel your camper’s spot in the session for any reason, refunds will be given, less a $100 administrative fee, and ONLY if we are able to fill their spot.
In order to ensure the healthiest environment possible, if your camper cannot participate in their session due to a COVID exposure directly prior to camp or they’re experiencing COVID-like symptoms, all camp fees will be returned minus a $100 administrative fee.
If paying by check, your monthly payment will also be due within the first week of each month and will need to be mailed to PO Box 1129, Frankfort, MI 49635.
To help us organize cabin groupings and make your child’s camp experience as enjoyable as possible, email us a brief note commenting on any of the following: recent changes in your child’s life; difficulties in school; past camp experiences; unusual/difficult medical or emotional experiences; your child’s ease of making friends; hobbies/activities especially enjoyed; what your child is looking forward to (or not looking forward to) at camp, etc.
It is also helpful for campers to provide a brief statement about themselves. This registration form and both parent and camper statements will be used to organize cabin groups and will be shared with your child’s counselor. All comments will be treated confidentially.
