Your Questions, Answered

Camp Genesis is a no-phone camp for students. We ask that phones be left at home with parents, and any phones brought to camp will be collected at the start of the week. That said, we want every family to feel at peace — students are welcome to call home at any time, and all parents and guardians will be provided with a direct way to reach camp leadership throughout the week.
