Summer Camp FAQ

Registration for Summer Camp

All program and registration questions should be directed to the site specific camp.  For questions on Beach Camp contact the staff at Yolijwa.  For Day Camp or Western States Youth Gathering: the LRCC experience, contact the staff at El Camino Pines. 

Register now and start paying for camp in your account for the rest of the year.  You can make payments into your account as often as you’d like. 

If you are a returning user – Please choose “Returning user” and access your account with your username and password.  Try your email address as the username.  If you cannot remember this information, please contact El Camino Pines or Yolijwa staff to have them reset your username and password.  Please make sure all information is current and up to date, especially the email address.  This will help our communications with you.    

If you are a new user – Select “New user”.  You will create a new account and begin the registration process.    

For all registrations - A $75 non-refundable deposit is due when you register for summer camp.  Please see our website under “Getting Ready” for the LRCC Refund Policy.  After you register you will get a confirmation email/letter with your account information, confirmation of your event registration, balance owed and a receipt.  Please keep this email for your records. 

Waiting list:  There is a waiting list of five campers per program.  If you try to register for an event and it is full, you can register for the waiting list for that event for $5.  We will let you know if a space opens up. In the meantime you should make sure your child's Health Form is ready, as spaces open up often at the last minute.

Payments online:  You may pay online easily and securely!  You may pay with a debit or credit card or eCheck.  If you would like to use a check online, just choose eCheck and type in your check #. 

If a church is helping to pay for your camp costs:  Duing the online registration process, click on the "My Church will pay" on the payment page.  This has to be approved by your church and the payment needs to be sent to camp within two weeks of registration.  OR the church can cut a check and you can make the payment online using the steps of eCheck above.  They may also send the check with the camper name and event/program that the check is for to the camp.  Please see “Contact us” for camp addresses. 

If you are not comfortable or able to register online:  You may call the camp and ask for the registration materials to be sent to you.  Once you fill out the form, you send it back to the camp with your deposit/ payment and you will receive a confirmation of this registration.  There is a $10 internal registration fee that applies to applications that are not done online.  That fee will be added to your registration cost.   Your balance for camp can be paid in a check mailed to camp or by calling camp with your credit card information. 

Confirmation for Registration:  In order to help the registration process be less time consuming, LRCC will send your confirmation to you via e-mail. You should receive this email within minutes of registering online.  Below is a copy of everything that is sent in the confirmation email, excluding your account and balance information.  If you do not receive a confirmation email please check in your junk mail box first.  We have found that some e-mail account settings have prevented the recipient from getting their confirmations. Please be sure to check your bulk or spam folder for a couple of days after registering, and if confirmation is in those folders please add the mailing address to your address list in your e-mail. Then contact Desta at (818) 243-8700 or Desta@LRCChome.com to have her resend the email to you.  If you need resources to help you get ready for camp you can find them on our website as well. Internal/Mailed registrations will receive a confirmation letter in the mail unless you have a e-mail address, then we can e-mail the confirmation to you.

What do I do with the Health Form? 

Health Forms need to be turned into the camp the camper will be attending, two weeks prior to their attendace.  The Health form needs to be signed by a doctor and the camper needs to have had a current physical in the past two years.  Please allow time for a doctor appt. to get the health form into camp two weeks prior to camp.  Send or fax the Health Form to the camp your child will be attending, not the Administrative Office.  Addresses and fax #'s for the camps are on the Contact Us page.

The initial camp deposit ($75 for onsite programs, $100 for off-site programs) is non-refundable, but may be transferred to a different program based on availability. For more details on refunds, please see the LRCC Refund Policy.
