Yes! We recommend a counselor for every seven students. They get to enjoy all the activities, meals, service projects, messages, and worship alongside the students! The cost is only $350 per chaperone, which is the same as the student price.

We have excellent bunkhouses with two private bathrooms per bunkhouse, mini-split HVAC units, thick inner-spring mattresses, carpet, and tiled bathrooms. The rooms have 12-16 beds.

All staff and volunteers undergo a background check. During staff training, counselors are trained in basic first aid and situational awareness to prevent incidents. The camp has volunteer medical professionals who manage medication and camper wellness.  Staff are trained to facilitate recreation. Any water activities are supervised by American Red Cross certified lifeguards. Also, the camp is inspected on an annual basis. Since 2020 Truett has received a 100 health and safety rating from the NC Department of Health & Safety.

Campers should bring their own bedding (twin-sized bunks), toiletries, clothes, and Bible.

If they have any medication, whether over the counter or prescription, they must turn those in at check-in in a 1-gallon Ziploc bag with the camper’s name clearly labeled.

We highly recommend bringing two pairs of shoes, a reusable water bottle, sunscreen, and clothes that are suitable for work projects (which could include painting, landscaping, etc.).

For the white water rafting trip we recommend sandals with a heel strap, swimwear, a towel, and a small bag with a change of clothes.

Our heart is to minister to as many people as possible, but we do have realistic limits to our facilities. If a child is interested in attending camp, who may require special accommodations, please contact us. We encourage parents to have a conversation with the Summer Camp Coordinator to see if the individual can have a positive experience.
