We do however, allow for visitors to attend services as long as you let us know at least 1 day prior to visiting a service by calling our offices at 229-386-2987 ext115. Please understand we are not in our offices during the day but will try and check voicemails periodically, so we encourage you to let us know early. Also, understand that camp is about meeting the needs of our campers and staff first. Due to the service being in the cafeteria due to the tabernacle fire, we are always at max capacity with seating and will need to make adjustments to accommodate any groups. One arriving please sign in at the security prior to entering the service. If you are visiting for service you will be asked to please leave immediately following service.
Also, please understand all our volunteers are pre-screened with background checks prior to serving camps. They attend training and learn how to operate our camps. We ask that you please under stand that we operate under strict rules and training, especially during services. The leadership of our summer camps hold the right to ask any visitor to leave the grounds immediately if the visitor is a distraction or hindrance during their visit.
