Please register early to ensure a space at this camp. Once we reach capacity, we will close registration. If the registration portal is closed, please contact the registrar if you would like to stay elsewhere and commute to camp. Offsite camping for tents/RVs is available at the state park: https://mostateparks.com/campgrounds/lake-ozarks-state-park.

Those registering after May 8 are subject to a $100 late registration fee per adult, senior, or young adult.

If the online registration portal is closed, please contact the registrar or manager to see if we are able to accommodate you.

EVERYONE, including Teachers and Staff, needs to send in a registration form or register online! We use it as THE document for each camper, including cabin assignments, and it helps us serve you.

Non-Refundable Liability Insurance Premium Surcharge $10 for All: Liability insurance premium costs keep rising. All campers except children under 5 pay an additional $10.

Please note that Wednesday arrival is $60 unless you are a teacher or staff member (those with scholarships) or with prior approval by the camp manager. If you are not on staff, please email Aziza Riely at azizaozarkcamp@gmail.com to confirm your early arrival permission. We welcome those ready to chip in and help us set up camp.

Affordability Policy for Families with Children: Half scholarships are available for parents who are attending camp with children under age 13.

  • For families with children under 5, one parent/guardian per child can attend camp at one half of the normal registration fee and have no assigned staff position other than taking care of their children.
  • Parents or guardians of children age 5 or older can apply for a half scholarship to either: 1) serve on staff at Kids Camp (contact Kids Camp co-director Lori Thweatt at thweattish@aol.com) … or 2) serve on staff elsewhere in the camp (contact Aziza Riely at azizaozarkcamp@gmail.com or 573-999-6635).

Daily Headcounts: Your arrival and departure day / time on your registration form helps us plan for headcounts at meals.

Donations to the scholarship fund to help more young people attend camp are gratefully accepted.

Loving Service (Karma Yoga) Requirements: Sign up when you check in for camp tasks. For those who choose not to participate in this sacred communal opportunity, there is an additional fee of $120, payable with registration form. Loving Service/Karma Yoga is essential to make camp happen!
