Timber Creek Camp has developed an exciting and dynamic partnership with Centrikid Camp Ministries. Beginning in 2013 Timber Creek became an exclusive venue for Centrikid summer camps during June and July. Since that time over 35,000 kids and adults have experienced life change through camp ministry.
From worship to track time activities and recreation, Centrikid summer camps are centered on the gospel of Christ in every area. Camp staff are committed to using every event and activity to spread the good news of Christ. For more information on the schedule and specific camp details visit the Centrikid website at www.centrikid.com
HAVE QUESTIONS?? HERE ARE SOME ANSWERS TO HELP!
1.How do I register for a Centrikid camp? Registration is done through the Centrikid website (www.centrikid.com) by each church group leader. Since Timber Creek is in such high demand as a Centrikid location, make sure to set your calendar for June 1 every year to register for the NEXT summer season . This will give you the best chance to get the camp session you desire.
2.What do I pack for Timber Creek Camp? First of all think “camp”: Casual and comfortable clothes, all toiletries, towels, bath mats for showers are helpful, bedding (either sheets and blankets or sleeping bag), pillow, bug spray, sun screen, bag(s) for dirty or wet clothes, swim suit and anything else that makes you comfortable. Please do not bring cooking or electric appliances. These are not allowed in our sleeping spaces. (Timber Creek is a tobacco free, alcohol free, vape free, and firework free facility)

5.What if my camper has a food allergy? Who do I talk with to help?
Because of the volume of people who come through Timber Creek every year, we are well acquainted with how to accommodate most any food allergies. We understand that your camper does not want to be singled out because of his or her allergy. It is our goal to work in tandem with your camper’s group leader to make this a non-issue. As a precaution, we DO NOT have any menu items that contain peanuts or tree nuts. We also do not cook with peanut oil. Our menu does not contain any shell fish as well. We will help prepare food according to your camper’s food allergy, and serve them from the line )with an allergy station box) just like every other camper! Rest easy. We will take care of this for you. Please know that we are not able to accommodate “food preferences” due to the large number of people who attend Timber Creek.
THE PROCESS
**Centrikid Cycles
1. Your group leader will receive a form from us and from Centrikid prior to your church and camper’s arrival.
2. Your group leader will give the form to you (parent/guardian) when you register with your church.
3. You will fill in the information and follow the directions on the form. Your food allergies do not go through Centrikid – Food allergies go to Timber Creek DIRECTLY. booktimbercreek@gmail.com
4. Our kitchen manager will contact you (parent/guardian) within 7 Days of your retreat to personally go over the menu and take care of any special needs your camper needs. If you do not hear from our Kitchen Manager within 3 days of your camp cycle please text 601-942-6693 and let us know.
Our goal is to serve you and make the allergy process as easy as possible!!!
6.Is there a camp store? What is the difference between the Snack Shack and the Centrikid store? There are actually 2 stores during the summer at Timber Creek Camp. The SNACK SHACK is the Timber Creek store that sells drinks, snacks, snow cones, camp t-shirts, mugs, hats and more. It is open during free time (hang time) during the afternoon and evening and located just down from the Dining Hall. The CK STORE is located in the Chapel Auditorium in the back corner. It is the one stop shop for all your CK items from buffs to t-shirts to all the extras you want as you experience Centrikid. (Please note that Store Cards through Centrikid are only good in the CK store)
