FAQ
Are there any discounts for Camp?
Yes, if you are member of the SDA Church you will get $35 off of the rate. Also GVR is proud to offer a discount for those campers that bring a friend to GVR with them that has never been a camper here. You will get $50.00 off each camper you bring!!! So go invite and friend and get $50.00 off!!!! Centura Associates can get this discount also for bringing friends whose parents are not under the Centura Friendship Scholarship!!!
Can I reserve a cabin for my camper?
This year you can assign your campers to their cabins during the registration process; it is not a required selection but will allow you to bypass cabin requests and add your camper directly to a cabin. We cannot guarantee actual cabins (you place your camper in Apache but at registration they are in Comanche) as camper numbers may require us to move assignments – in this case we would do our best to keep groups together. If you have any questions please contact us.
What if I need a paper application?
If you would like a brochure with a paper application please contact us by phone or email with your mailing information and we’ll get one out to you as soon as we can. Call 303-282-366o or email carolb@rmcsda.org.
What if my camper gets sick or needs medical attention?
A camp nurse (RN) is on duty 24 hours a day to take care of minor ailments, necessary medications, and emergencies. All campers will receive a health screening to determine their fitness and overall safety to the camp. A signed physical from your physician completed within the last two years, immunization record, health history and signed Medical and Liability Release, as well as the front and back copy of your health insurance card are required at check-in to be in compliance with Colorado State Law. You can fax these forms to 303-468-9107 prior to camper check-in, if you have them available. If your camper gets sick while at GVR, we will contact you and let you know what needs to happen. Please keep in mind that we are not able to care for a sick or injured camper for an extended period of time and may require you to come pick them up, if the nurse deems it necessary.
Why are you asking for more contact information this year?
We are required by the state of Colorado (7.711.61) to collect complete information on a primary contact (including employer information) and additional information for a secondary contact (address different from the primary’s).
How do Cub Camp Activities work?
Cub campers will rotate through all activities with their cabin group during the week (with the exception of Rock Climbing and Ropes Course); this will give them a chance to experience every activity within a safe environment.
Are there any age restrictions for activities?
Yes; Rock Climbing, Ropes Course, Horses, Mountain Bikes, Mountain Boards/BMX, and Go Karts have a minimum age requirement of 10 for participation.
What time does registration start/when is camper pickup?
Registration is Sundays from 1:30pm to 3:30pm. Camper pickup is Sundays from 9am to 11am, if you arrive after 11am you may pick up your camper in the cafeteria breezeway. A photo ID is required to remove your camper and you must be on the approved check-out list.
What happens to my camper’s unspent store money at the end of the week?
Any unspent funds in the camp store will be donated to the campership fund. Unfortunately unused store deposits cannot be refunded.
How can I contact my camper?
Campers love to receive mail! You can mail it to the Ranch at the beginning of camp (allow for transit time) or just leave it at the Camp Office during registration. You can also email your camper at: campermail@glacierviewranch.com (emails are printed and handed out at mail call just before lunch – please note that your camper will not generally be able to respond). If at all possible, please refrain from calling your camper due to the fact it can make them more homesick and want to go home. However, if you need to contact them, please call the front office phone: 303-459-0945.
Can we come up and visit our camper?
We highly discourage visiting during the week due to the disruptions that it can cause. Sometimes the camper is homesick and when the parents arrive it can make it worse. This being said we understand that they are your campers and would ask if you do come and visit, please let us know that you are coming and check in at the office. If it is during meal times, the meal is $7.50 for a non-camper.
Do I need a physical for my camper?
Colorado Law requires proof or a physical within the last 12 months. A copy of a recent physical, or a school or Sports physical may be used in place of this form. Please provide a copy for us since we place previous records in permanent storage at the end of each summer.
What if my camper wants to be baptized?
Opportunities are available for any young person to be baptized by immersion into the family of God and the Seventh-day Adventist Church. This baptism would be in complete cooperation with parents or legal guardians. We have caring, trained staff that would study basic Biblical truths with each camper. A decision for baptism depends on the “readiness” of each camper. Arrangements can be made to have family and special pastors involved in this incredible event.
