The key to a speedy drop off is to have the following done one week prior to camper’s registration.

  • Paid in full
  • All forms turned in to the camp office:
    • Photo Release
    • Consent & Assumption of Risk
    • Health History Form
    • Copy of immunization card
    • Copy of insurance card

Check-in

All assigned registration times for youth camps are Sundays from 3:00-6:30 pm. Family Camp registration begins at 4:00 pm.

Check-out

Check-out is from 9:00-10:00 a.m. on Sunday morning. Specialty Camp is a 5-day camp. Check-out is Friday from 8:00-9:00 a.m. The intervening time until the next check-in allows the camp staff to prepare for the next arrivals. For your child’s safety, we ask those picking up the campers to have personal photo ID. Our staff go off supervision duty at 10:00 a.m.

Campership Fund—Matthew Jacobs Memorial Fund

Camp is the #1 place where kids give their hearts to Jesus – so at Camp Au Sable we believe that no child should be turned away because of finances.

  • Our Campership Fund, made possible through the generosity of friends of Camp Au Sable, is available to any family who needs financial assistance.
  • If you are interested in helping to send kids to camp, please mark your “love gift” on the application form.
