Camp RidgeKidz will be held at Mountain Fellowship Camp and Retreat Center in Suchez, GA. Camp Ridge Kidz has exclusive use of the facilities (there will be no other groups at Mountain Fellowship that week).

Register your child for the grade they are currently in (2023/2024 school year). At Ridge Kidz, we offically promote kids into their new grades after the summer.

Refunds are available until June 1. If you are unable to make it to the event, all funds will be put towards families in need who otherwise couldn’t afford to send their preteen to camp.

We desire every kid to attend camp and will do whatever is necessary to help make that happen. We significantly subsidize camp to make it affordable for every family. However, we also provide scholarships for those who need extra help. Camp Registration has an option to request a scholarship. We ask that you register and pay the $25 deposit to save your spot. After we receive your registration, we will reach out with scholarship details.

Our leaders and volunteers love Jesus and preteens. They are background-checked, trained on safety, and equipped to care for preteens and share the gospel. Our ratios are roughly one volunteer to four preteen campers.

The Ridge Kidz team will be running Camp Ridge Kidz. Kenny Conley, the (interim) Kids Director, is a 25 year veteran of Children’s Ministry and has run summer camps for kids for 20+ years. The staff at Mountain Lake also provide support while we are there.

Yes! We will do our best to accommodate your request, but we cannot make guarantees. We generally group kids based on their current grades.

We want campers to unplug and focus on being present with others and with God! Additionally, phone service doesn’t work in most areas around Mountain Fellowship. Please have your preteen leave all electronic devices at home.

Unfortunately, the kitchen staff cannot prepare multiple food options for various dietary needs. However, the kitchen provides refrigerator access (and a microwave). Campers with specific needs can bring their own food and store it in the kitchen.

The camp store will be open daily (Tuesday-Friday). Twenty dollars for drinks and snacks should be more than enough.

Though we highly recommend you stay the entire duration of camp, we can accommodate special requests. Please let the Ridge Kidz staff know at least a week before camp.

We will not provide transportation between The Ridge and Mountain Fellowship. Parents (you can also carpool) will need to drop off campers at Mountain Fellowship on Tuesday and pick them up on Saturday.

We have staff/volunteers who will ensure kids take their medication at the propper time. At the time of drop-off, all medications must be given to our medications team-member, must be in their original pharmacy container with written instructions in a sealable plastic bag with the camper’s full name printed on it. You will pick up the proper medications when you pick up your camper!

Pickup and dropoff will happen at Mountain Fellowship Camp (no one will be at the church). Dropoff will be at 4p on Tuesday, June 18 and pickup will be at 11a on June 22.

If there is a serious emergency and you need to speak with your child while at camp, you can contact us 24/7. We will provide the emergency number the week before camp.

Yes. However, you need to email [email protected] and let us know. We will not release your child to someone other than you without your permission.

No. All beds are plywood bunks with a thin mattress (it feels like plastic with some padding). If your child doesn’t have a sleeping bag, just bring a couple of sheets (one like a fitted sheet and another for sleeping under) and a warm blanket (sometimes the cabins get really cold). Also, don’t forget a pillow.

That’s perfectly fine. Just email us (so we have it in writing), and we’ll plan for their late/early departure/arrival).
