We are so excited that you have decided to partner with us in ministry this summer! We’ve gathered a few resources to help new group leaders feel as prepared and confident when you arrive at camp as possible.
Look at the resources below, and feel free to call or email us any time with questions
Introductory and Orientation Videos
We’ve prepared a few short videos to introduce ourselves, walk you through the Registration Process from initial registration to checkin, and share everything you need to know for the first day at camp!

Passport Terms and Definitions
Like anywhere you visit for the first time, there may be terms you aren’t familiar with. We’ve pulled together a glossary of PASSPORT jargon so you know exactly what we’re talking about when we say Camper Rotations or Missions Pod.
Registration FAQs
If you have a specific question, we’ve pulled together the answers for our most Frequently Asked Registration Questions.
Adult Expectations
At PASSPORT, we have a team of gifted ministers and advisors who work to create a camp program of thoughtful theology, creative worship, and lots of fun. We will provide everything you need to be a successful leader at camp, but there are a few things we will expect from you and your adults.
- Participate fully in camp.
Your students will model your behavior. - Know where your students are and supervise them accordingly.
Our staff will supervise and hand off your students for Bible Study and Rotations, Choice, or Mission Project times, but you will be responsible for your group during other times. - Enforce your dress code and camp rules.
Because every group is different, we ask leaders to enforce these guidelines rather than our staff. - Lead Church Group Devotions.
We will provide the details for you late spring, but you get to lead this time! We’ve found that allowing the Group Leaders to do this with their own students allows all of our groups to dive deeper together and for leaders to help guide and answer some of the questions that may come up in a safe space for you and your campers. - Please review the Kids and Youth Chaperone Handouts, as they are a valuable resource to help prepare your adults for camp.
Camp Scholarship Program
Did you know Passport offers camp scholarships? The goal of the Camp Scholarship Program is to partner with churches to assist students in their congregation who demonstrate significant financial need and make camp a reality for them. This partnership invites churches to invest in their students by also being willing to cover some of the costs for each scholarship recipient.
