| Who can come to Camp Nathanael? |
| Any boy can come. The purpose of Camp Nathanael is to help your son grow in the four
major areas of life — physical, intellectual, social and spiritual — in the exciting context of an
active outdoor program. |
| My son is currently in 6th grade. Which camp should he attend? |
| While Stockade camp is for boys entering grades 3 - 6 as of September and Battalion is
for boys entering grades 7 - 12, the 7th grade boys may attend either Stockade or Battalion camp.
For different reasons, we understand the importance of allowing some 7th grade boys to attend Stockade camp.
Most 7th grade boys have no problem making the adjustment to Battalion camp and look forward to moving up with
the older boys. |
| Can my son have his friends in the same cabin? |
| We do place boys in cabins with their friends, no mater how far apart their registrations
are received in the mail, as long as they request one another on their registration forms. We also place boys of
similar ages together in cabins whenever possible. We do not put 3rd grade boys with 6th graders or 7th grade
with 11th grade unless there is a specific request to do so. Simply list the names of the boys your son would
like to have in his cabin on the "cabin partners" line on his registration card. |
| How does my son select his crafts? |
| Campers select their crafts on the Sunday they arrive at camp in the order their
registration was received based on the postmark. Most boys receive the crafts they want, but some can fill
up quickly so it is important to register early. Horsemanship and rocketry each requires an additional fee.
Horsemanship requires pre-registration on the back of the registration card and usually does fill up. |
| How long is a week of camp? |
| Registration begins at 3 PM on Sunday. Parents can collect their son at 10 AM the
following Saturday. (Late arrivals and early departures can be arranged). |
| What crafts are available for my son? |
Stockade crafts are archery, BB guns, canoeing, fishing, handicraft,
horsemanship, rappelling, sailing, swimming & woodsmanship. Pellet guns and model rockets are also available
for boys in grades 5 - 6 as of September.
Battalion crafts include archery, canoeing & sailing (one craft) fishing, handicraft,
horsemanship, model rockets, rappelling (with a trip to the Sandstone cliffs on Friday), riflery shotguns, swimming,
and woodsmanship. |
| What are the advantages to early registration? |
| Your sons craft selection number is based on the postmark from his registration.
The sooner the registration arrives, the lower the craft selection number. Your son will receive a $5 credit
on his canteen bill if his registration arrives with a postmark prior to April 1. |
| Does the camp provide transportation to and/or from Camp Nathanael? |
| Yes. We provide van service from Park Free Church in St. Louis Park (Twin Cities).
The van departs for camp each Sunday at 1:30pm and returns on Saturday around 11:45am. There is an additional
fee for the van transportation. |
| How do I register my son for Camp Nathanael? |
| Camp brochures and registration cards are available in February either through the
USMail or downloaded from the website at www.campnathanael.com. Registration can be completed by sending the
registration card and camp fees to the address listed on the card. |
