Yes, Summer Games Camp is licensed through the State of Michigan by the Department of Lifelong Education, Advancement, and Potential.

Our counselor interview process is very extensive, which requires multiple references and background checks. All counselors are trained prior to camp, and they continue to receive follow-ups throughout the week with daily staff meetings.

Usually, our campers will be attending 4th – 10th grade in the fall of the following school year after camp.
We do have other opportunities for children that are going into the 10th – 12th grade in the fall to come to camp as a Huddle Leader. Huddle Leaders are volunteers that are high school and college-aged youth that guide campers through their daily activities.

As soon as possible! Registration for Summer Games 2025 is still open! We generally ask to have your camper registered by June 20th, so we have time to plan and acquire everything needed for camp; however, as long as we still have open bunks, we will continue to accept registration applications up until the day before camp.

Visit our Registration page for more information and a copy of our Registration Form!

There are many ways you can submit your camper’s registration form and $50 non-refundable deposit. Just remember that both the registration form and deposit is required for your camper to be fully registered.

• Mail a physical copy of your camper’s registration form.
• Email a scanned copy of your camper’s registration form.

• Mail a check for your camper’s deposit.
• Request an invoice by email where you can pay online at any time.

Tip: If you do not have a printer at home that has the functionality to scan documents, then you can download a free mobile app (such as HP Smart) to use your phone’s camera to scan the registration form.

If you have any trouble scanning a copy of your camper’s registration with a printer or free mobile app, then feel free to take a clear picture of your registration form and email that to the Camp Registrar to speed up your camper’s registration process. We will honor that your camper is fully registered as long as the deposit is paid; however, you will also need to mail in a physical copy of the registration form.

Why do we require a scanned or physical copy of the registration form?

Over the years, we have received many pictures of registration forms. Many of these pictures are taken at angles that make it impossible to read the information off of the form or the resolution causes the image to be blurry when it is printed. This is why we need a scanned or physical copy of the registration form to put into your camper’s file. We want to make sure we can read the important contact information from the file, especially if there is ever an emergency.

Yes! We updated the mailing address on our forms temporarily for this year. You can mail your forms to the camp’s Registrar-Erica, or the camp’s Office Admin-Aliecia. We do prefer sending all forms to Aliecia, while Erica is out of town. If you do send forms to Erica, then they will be received; however, it might take longer for you to hear back from someone than normal.

If you submitted forms and have not yet received any communication back confirming that your camper is registered, then please contact us as soon as possible.

Each camper must have a registration form and a non-refundable deposit of $50 submitted to the Camp Registrar in order for them to be fully registered for Summer Games 2025. Campers are not eligible for discounts unless they are fully registered. Scholarship applications will not be reviewed until the camper is fully registered.

The total cost of camp for Summer Games 2025 is $400, which includes the non-refundable down deposit of $50.

Summer Games Camp does offer discounts, so be sure to check out our Discounts page to see if you qualify for any discounts to save on the total cost of camp.

We ask to have your balance paid in full by Friday, June 20th, 2025.

If anything comes up and you need some extra time with paying your balance or need to seek financial assistance, then please be sure to talk to the Camp Registrar about your options. Any due date extensions must be approved by the Camp Registrar.

If the Camp Registrar has extended your due date and you are paying by check, then we do ask to make sure that we have received your check by Tuesday, July 1st, 2025 to allow the check to clear before camp. We do have alternative payment options if we have extended your due date beyond July 1st.

Some discounts will automatically be applied to the cost of your registration if you are eligible for those discounts upon registration. If you would like to pay the full cost of $400 for your camper, then please let our Camp Registrar know and those discounts will manually be removed from your total cost of camp.

If you do not want the family discount applied to the total cost of camp, then do not submit the Family Discount Form and that discount will not be applied to the cost of camp.

You may also choose to notify the Camp Registrar that any overpayment is a donation to Summer Games Camp.

Everything provided to the camper during the week of camp is included in the registration fee: housing, meals, all program activities, a souvenir T-shirt, camp and group pictures, and more.

We will contact you as soon as we have learned that your check has bounced, so you may provide an alternative payment method.

In the event that the check was to cover the cost of the deposit and we are repeatedly unable to reach you and cannot receive an alternative payment within 14 days, then you may no longer be eligible for any discounts you may have received depending on when you registered.

If your camper is no longer able to attend camp and you call or email to cancel by June 30th, then you will receive a full refund in the amount you paid excluding the non-refundable down deposit of $50. Any cancelations after June 30th would need to be reviewed by the Board of Directors for Summer Games Camp to determine the amount to be refunded.

For example, you paid $400 for the total cost of camp. You would not receive the $50 non-refundable deposit back, so you would only receive a refund of $350.

In the event that your camper is no longer eligible to attend Summer Games Camp, the registration may be transferrable to another individual. You will need to contact the Camp Registrar to request a registration transfer to another individual, providing a completed Registration Form for the new camper. The request may need to undergo review.

If the registration is transferrable, then the paid deposit will be transferred to the new camper. Any discounts that the new camper would have been eligible for at the time the former camper was registered will also be transferred. An example of a discount that may be non-transferrable would be our returning camper special discount. If the former camper was had a family discount of $25 applied to their total cost of camp and the new camper that is taking over the registration does not reside in the same household, then the new camper would not be eligible for that $25 discount.

All scholarships are non-transferrable. If the new camper needs financial assistance, then a new scholarship application will need to be submitted.

If you had made any additional payments besides the deposit towards your camper’s total registration cost and want to be refunded, then that will not be transferred to the new camper. The parents/guardians of the newly registered camper would be responsible for the remaining balance. If you would like to transfer any additional payments made, then that can be arranged upon your request.

Unfortunately, your camper must be fully registered before the scholarship application is reviewed by our Board of Directors for approval.

In the event that Summer Games Camp cannot grant the full amount requested on the scholarship application, then your $50 deposit would be refunded. Please, never hesitate to express your financial concerns with us.

If you submit your camper’s registration by mail or email and request to pay by invoice, then your camper will consider to be registered at the exact time that the deposit is paid on the invoice.

Due to the time sensitivity of this discount deadline, if you choose to submit your camper’s registration by mail with a check for the deposit, then your camper will be considered to be registered on the date in which the Camp Registrar receives your registration in the mail.

In the event where more than one camper happens to register at the exact same time and they do not reside in the same household, then we will look at other factors that can help determine a tie breaker, such as when an envelope is postmarked by the USPS. If there a fair tie breaker cannot be determined, then the discount will be awarded to both individuals.

If you have any technical issues with submitting your registration by email or paying the deposit via invoice, then please make sure that you are actively communicating this with us.

Yes! As long as your envelope is postmarked by the USPS Office before the deadline, then we will still honor the Early Bird registration discount.

Yes! As long as you have submitted your registration by email before the deadline, then you can still receive the Early Bird discount. You will need to pay the deposit within 7 days from when you receive the invoice by email in order to retain the discount.

We understand that you have no control over how long it takes for the USPS to deliver your mail or whether it is lost in the mail; however, you will be responsible for submitting your camper’s registration form again in order to register your camper.

If this causes you to miss out on savings towards your total cost of camp due to a discount’s deadline, then this will be reviewed by the Board of Directors.

If your deposit check is lost in the mail, then you will also be responsible for making an alternative payment for the deposit to be paid in order for your camper to be considered fully registered. If we end up receiving your check in the mail, then we will notify you and you can instruct us what you would like us to do with the check.

This is why we recommend submitting your camper’s registration by email and using our pay by invoice option. You may refer to Registration subsection in our FAQ for more details on how to speed up your camper’s registration.

Our Huddle Leaders are usually high school and college-aged students that have completed their freshman year of high school (9th grade). High school students going into the 10th grade may be asked to attend as a Huddle Assistant (camper) in the event we have too many Huddle Leaders.

Adult volunteers need to be at least 18 years of age in order to volunteer at Summer Games Camp. Although, we prefer our high school and college-aged students to be Huddle Leaders, we do make some exceptions to allow younger adults to be regular staff volunteers.

We have many different positions that need to be filled at Summer Games Camp and we will place you into the best role, or two, that meets your qualifications and experience. Check out the different roles that we have to fill at Summer Games.
