FAQ's

Yes, we are providing unique camp experiences (and unique hours) for Middle School and High School campers. However, both camps will be taking place simultaneously, and at the same location. We see extreme value in keeping these age groups separate, as we hope to offer a more intense experience for our High School Campers, and an environment for our Middle Schoolers to be empowered to love. Please reach out to us with any questions you may have.

Teams are divided between rising 9th-12th grades. There are no exceptions to the grade formation of teams. During registration you will be asked if there are friend requests. We do our very best to accommodate everyone but there are several reasons we can’t including parents indicating the wrong grade during registration, overwhelming same group requests (we limit group sizes for effectiveness to 12-15), parents may request another camper but the other camper may request not to be in same group. Rest assured most often things work out perfectly. We encourage parents to verify directly with other parents if requests are okay and what secondary plans can be made when there’s an overwhelming number of campers requesting the same team.

Yes, the hours for Middle and High School campers are different. The camp day starts for High School at 8am. High School camp will end at 5pm. We see value in extending our High School camp hours to be able to reach more communities and serve in a greater way. The camp day ends at 10pm on Friday for both Middle School and High School. Please contact us with any questions or concerns.

After their day of serving on Thursday, we are inviting our high school campers to enjoy an extended day and night together. This is a time to relax, have fun, and form deeper friendships with one another. Thursday night dinner and Friday morning breakfast will be provided. Boys and Girls will sleep in separate locations and will be monitored by chaperones overnight. On Thursday morning, please bring all items they will need for the overnight experience, and be sure to pack any money that they will need for meals at Kings Dominion on Friday.

After a hard week of service the teens will enjoy an all day celebration on Friday. This is our way of thanking them & also an opportunity for the teens to simply enjoy hanging with their friends. Our High School campers will spend the day at Kings Dominion, which is already included in the cost of your camp fee. They will arrive back to Loudoun at 10pm on Friday night. 

What a great question! Each camp counselor goes through an internal training process before they are allowed to become a Serve Camp counselor. Along with our internal training process, each counselor is required to be certified (and active) in CPR, First Aid, and AED.

Camp begins and ends at our camp headquarters, however, campers go offsite for many love projects in Loudoun and the DMV area. Project locations are based on the needs of the individual, families, community or non-profits we are serving. Schedules will be available to view on the first day of camp

We hired trained professional and licensed drivers to transport our campers. At times we will recruit licensed and insured volunteers who have passed a background check to transport campers as needed.

Serve Camp is a camp based on the life and message of Jesus. Jesus teaches us that love leads to life. Each day campers are introduced to a truth Jesus gave us regarding how we can make life happen (i.e. love, putting others first, servant leadership, sacrifice). Campers are challenged daily to join Jesus in making life happen by embodying his life and message. During small groups counselors debrief the truth of the day with campers in an age-appropriate way, talk about the reality of living out that truth (how we can live it out and how difficult it can be), and challenge them to be life makers now and as a dream for their life.

Serve Camp is a 501(C)3 non-profit corporation in the state of Virginia and is an integrated auxiliary of Common Ground Church.
