Lodge Deck has begun! 
​Come help us finish it! 

We are thankful we have the opportunity to offer camp this summer. In order to do so, we must work within the guidelines set forth by the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH). Thank you for understanding.  We will be doing our best to follow the MDH Guidelines for Overnight camps as stated on their website while maintaining reasonable practices.  When COVID-19 guidelines change we will adjust our protocols if necessary.  

Will I need to wear a face covering while attending camp

No - the mask mandate has been lifted and we are enjoying each other's faces.  However, you are welcome to wear a mask if you need.

What will be different this year?

Most everything you love about Pine Haven will still be part of camp.  But there will be some changes here and there to help us stay safe while at camp.  Check out the remaining questions for details.

Will we have the same amount of Campers this year?

• Due to the current guidelines, our weeks are a bit smaller, but there is room - so get registered.
• When camps fill, you will be placed on a waitlist for any spots that may open.  Camp will contact the earliest waitlisted camper if a spot opens due to a cancellation.  

What about cabins and Cabin buddies?

• Cabins, as much as possible, will be composed of campers from the same church, city/region.
• You can still choose up to two cabin buddies and request a cabin.  At least one cabin buddy should be from your church.
• For ventilation we will be keeping windows open and fans running.  Please bring warm bedding for chillier nights.
• Cabins will be sanitized on a regular schedule throughout the week.

What will meal time look like?

• We will eat outside as much as possible with Family Groups.
• If outdoor dining is not possible, indoor dining will be with Cabin Groups.
• Food will be served in Cafeteria Style.

Will We get to have our favorite recreation options?

• Let's Play!  Our recreation options are as great as ever, including your favorite game - Flicker!  We'll ask you to wash hands or sanitize before hand for safety measures.
• This year we may play out in the rain at times. Bring extra shoes and rain jacket for the wet days.
• Bring your one-piece swimsuit!  Waterfront is open!

What will chapel, Fireside and classes be like?

• We will gather outside as much as possible!  
• Bring a small lawn chair or an extra blanket to sit on during our outdoor chapel services, firesides, and classes.
• If it is raining – we will have alternative plans in place. Bring your rain jacket just in case.

Is it safe for me to attend?

• You have to decide for yourself and your campers your comfort level in coming to camp. We will be making every effort to provide as safe of a camping experience as possible - as we always do.  
• We will continue to practice our high standards of cleaning and sanitization with additional efforts to mitigate the spread of Covid19.
• Healthy hygiene practices like effective handwashing will be encouraged.
• High touch areas in bathrooms, drinking fountains, shared objects, high traffic areas will have increased sanitation schedules.
• Cabins and Buildings will be sanitized between uses.

What happens if someone gets sick at camp?

• We will follow our current Health and Safety Procedures for any sickness presented at camp.

• If a camper presents with COVID19 at camp, we will follow our current Communicable Disease Protocol with the enhanced measure required for COVID19.  We will have a place to safely quarantine and testing measures in place.  We will stay in communication with parents/guardians as usual.
• If your camper has been in close contact with another camper who has tested positive for COVID19 while at camp we will follow the MDH Guidelines.

How will check-in Day and Pick-up Day be different?

• You will receive a pre-camp email the day before your week of camp.  This email details specifics regarding check-in, pick-up and other important information needed.
• During the check-in process, all campers will answer screening questions and have their temperatures checked. Any camper or faculty that presents with COVID19 symptoms, will need to be isolated until testing can take place or they can return home.
• As usual, youth campers will be screened for lice.
• If a camper is sick prior to their week of camp, we ask that you please inform us by calling 218-366-1391 and remain at home.
• If your camper is unable to attend camp, please contact the camp regarding cancellation and refunds.

What is the cancellation/refund policy this year

​If we need to cancel a camp prior to the start of that week, you will be notified and offered a full refund.
If a camper needs to cancel, we will offer a full refund in the event of illness, COVID-19 exposure, or a family emergency.
In the case of a no call/no show at check-in, registration payments will be used as a donation to camp.  We ask that you let us know as soon as possible if you need to cancel so we can offer the open space to a camper on our waitlist.
