Custom Camp
We would love to help you put together a camp that is enjoyable for your church or Christian school family, safe for each person, and most importantly, challenging in their spiritual life. At Ironwood, we believe that every group is unique, and with that comes our responsibility to provide a custom camp with your group’s needs in mind. Your goals become our passion! A custom camp allows you to design the schedule, activities, and sessions to meet the goals of your people and your ministry. Take a few minutes to read The Heart of Camping.
How can you set up your own custom camp for a group of 15+ people?
Confirm your pastor/administrator will be able to sign our Position Statement.
Consider the the type of camp (e.g., marriage retreat, youth/adult retreat, planning), the number of people you expect to attend, up to three possible dates, and when you would like to arrive (first meal) and depart (last meal).
Call our office at 760.257.3503 or e-mail custom@ironwood.org with your details.
Your request will be taken to a calendar meeting to ensure that we can serve your group well. We will tentatively hold approved dates for two weeks while you confirm activities, price, etc., then a contract with all the details will be sent to you.
After you receive your contract, you’ll have two weeks to sign and return it with your deposit. This will reserve the dates for your group.
What’s next? About 12 weeks before your custom camp, an Ironwood camp coordinator will contact you to confirm numbers and work through your goals, schedule, and activities. Our registration office will also e-mail you information to help you streamline your check-in process. The balance of the contract is due upon your arrival for camp.
Call our office at 760.257.3503 or e-mail custom@ironwood.org if you have any questions.
