Registration brochures:
 
Each year in the first week of January, we mail two summer camp brochures to every camper from the previous summer (the extra one is for a friend). We also mail one brochure to every family who had a camper here in either of the two years prior to that. Summer brochures are also mailed to most local churches (all denominations), so if you aren't on our mailing list, you can probably pick one up at your church. You can also request a brochure by emailing GENEVA or calling 616-399-3150 or 800-805-0808.

How to register:

The deadline to register is 10 days before the week you are signing up for; however, keep in mind that many weeks fill up, so we recommend you register early.

  • Register by mail - may pay either with a credit or debit card or with a check. 
     
  • Register online (preferred method) - Online registration 

Registration Information
  • No registrations will be accepted by phone.
  • Registrations are processed on a first-come, first-served basis and are open to everyone regardless of race, national origin, or religious affiliation.
  • Each camper must register on a separate form.
  • Register according to the grade ENTERING in the fall. Camp activities are geared for specific grade levels, therefore no exceptions will be made.
  • Please complete all sections of both sides of the form. Incomplete information may delay your registration.
  • Multiple Week Options: To accommodate as many children as possible, registration is limited to one session per child. The only exception to this is for Day Campers, see Multiple Week option for 3rd & 4th graders

  • Payment Options:

    • Option 1 - pay in full
    • Option 2 - pay $100 at time of registration and balance by May 1. There is a $15 payment fee for extra processing if you choose this option. We will send you a bill for the balance in April and the balance must be paid by May 1. Registratoins submitted after April 1 must include full payment.

Note: An additional $20 late fee will be added for any camp fees not received by May 1 unless special arrangements are made with the registrar.

  • Pre-ordered Items:
    While it is possible to pre-order Punch Cards and/or DVDs later (prior to June 1), we recommend that you order them with your original registration due to our $25. minimum credit card policy).

    • T-shirts: Each camper will receive a free t-shirt designed specifically for their camp...more info... 

    • Punch Cards:
      Punch Cards, as an alternative to cash, are offered for Shores and Pines campers. Punch cards are preprinted with the camper's name, are worn all week as their name tag, and may be used for store purchases....more info...

    • DVDs:
      Help your camper hold on to the special memories of their Inside Out experience at camp! A special DVD will be made for Shores and Pines each week highlighting the cabin groups, staff, and unique events of your camper's week. These DVDs will be available when you pick up your camper. DVDs will be approximately 12-15 minutes long. Pre-ordered price $10.00; ordered after camp $12.

  • Voluntary Scholarship Contribution:
    GENEVA subsidizes approximately 20% of the camp registration fee, yet many families still need assistance to send their children to camp. If you would like to contribute to the scholarship fund to provide this experience for others, you may add a voluntary contribution to your registration fee. We will send a receipt for your contribution.

  • Financial Aid:

    • If you are a member of a Reformed church which assists with camp fees, ask your church for a "GENEVA camp fee assistance voucher". Instructions for using the voucher either online or with a registration form will be printed on the voucher. GENEVA will bill the church for their portion.

    • Scholarship funds are available to participants needing financial assistance. Please indicate on the registration form if you would like to receive an application for a scholarship...more info...

  • Refund Policy:
    Refunds will be given if requested at least 7 days before your week of camp. If you cancel less than 7 days before your week of camp, refunds will be given only for medical reasons or a family emergency. All refunds are subject to a $35 administrative fee.

  • Bunkmate Requests:

    • Campers who wish to be bunkmates must send their registration forms in the same envelope and list each other as bunkmates.

    • We will be assigning bunks to keep you together, so please request just one "bunkmate" (campers may not request additional "cabin mates").

    • If it isn't possible to mail bunkmates’ registration forms in the same envelope, or if one or both of them are registering online, we will do our best to match them up so it's very important that they both list each other as bunkmates.

    • We encourage campers to request a bunkmate in the same grade (or only one grade different) as we try to group cabins by age level.

    • Campers who sign up alone will be assigned another single camper as a bunkmate.

    • Campers who try to register with someone who already has a bunkmate will be assigned another single camper as a bunkmate.

  • Confirmations: Every camper who registers before mid-April will receive two confirmations. Late registrants will only receive the final confirmation.

      • Initial confirmation: Within three weeks after you register, you will receive a confirmation indicating the week you are registered for and your balance due, if any. If you have a balance due, it must be received by May 1.

      • Final confirmation: In May everyone will receive a confirmation which will include directions to Camp Geneva, what to bring, check-in and check-out details and other pertinent information.
