Mancelona Camp 2020 COVID-19 Response
Updated July 10, 2020
With the issuance of an executive order allowing overnight camps to open, and the publishing of guidelines for camps to follow the camp board has made the decision to have camp this summer. There will be changes to how we normally do things. The youth area will look a bit different. But, we are praising God for answers to prayer that are allowing us to move forward with camp!
Changes for 2020:
What should you do looking forward to camp:
Your Mancelona Camp Board
Please continue to support the camp financially during this time. The camp has ongoing expenses throughout the year (electric, phone, internet, upkeep costs, etc.) that will still need to be paid. We depend on the support of our churches and people to keep camp operating. Also, please think of Mancelona Camp in the years to come. Checks can be mailed to the Regional Office or you may give via Paypal.

Changes for 2020:
- Children will not have a program during the evening service. They will be in the main service for the whole time.
- We encourage you to bring lawn chairs and sit outside during the evening service instead of in the main tabernacle. We will have speakers set up outside, so the sound will be good for anyone choosing to sit out there.
- The goody shack will be running. It will have fewer choices than in previous years. Also, if you have coins to pay exact amounts for items, that will help tremendously. We are having a difficult time finding change for the cash register. Much of the candy will be 10 and 25 cents.
- The youth camp will be separate from the family camp the majority of the time. Please do not go down to the youth area at all during the week. See the youth page for more information about COVID plans for youth camp.
What should you do looking forward to camp:
- Pray!
- If you are planning to attend camp, text Judy Sayre at (231)886-0000 to reserve your lot. Include your name and lot number (if you know it!).
- Register your youth for youth camp. The deadline for regular registration has been changed to JULY 1ST. Please register your youth campers and pay the deposit.
- Register your children for camp.
- Watch for procedures and plans for camp so we can keep all those attending safe.
