Spiritual Program
The Soul Food summer camp is a Christian camp. It is "A camp where soul-winning and the arts come together."
At this camp, we teach young people to evangelize in their city and surrounding areas.
We provide a safe, FUN-FILLED, high energy camp that combines the empowering messages of sharing your faith AND your testimony with the performing arts.
This camp was created to teach children and youth to evangelize and share their testimony consistently.
That's what the core of SOUL FOOD 2K8 is all about-teaching this generation simple steps for sharing their faith DAILY.
Mail
Sending mail and "care packages" is highly recommended.
However, please DO NOT put food, gum, snacks or beverages within the packages.
Instead of mailing the packages directly to the camp site, we require that parents pre-write their letters/love notes ahead of time, for each day the camper will be at camp, and give it to the registrar upon the camper’s arrival.
This is done so that campers will be able to have mail during our mail call, every night by the bonfire, for "Reflection Time."
Exceptions will be made for birthdays and other special occasions (must be pre-approved).
To keep it as a surprise to the campers, please do not share this information with your child(ren).
e-Mail
All email must be sent through the Soul Food section of www.daretodance.org.
Campers will not have access to their own email accounts.
Please do not use this service as a means to mail your child for the mail call during "Reflection Time."
Telephone Use & Visitors
The purpose of an over-night summer camp is to encourage campers to get away from the things they are most familiar and comfortable with, such as their home and family, so they may experience growth and development.
It is for this very reason that we do not allow campers to use the telephone or receive any visitors during their stay at camp unless an emergency were to arise.
Parents, however, are encouraged to daily view their child’s stay at camp via photos and videos that will be provided through the Rotary Camp Florida website (See page 10).
Please assume that no word from camp means that "all is well." |

Cell Phone
As a general camp rule, cell phones and cell phone use is prohibited.
Campers will not be allowed to receive incoming calls nor send outgoing calls from their cell phones at any time during camp.
In case of an emergency, all calls will be received and sent through the camp’s office.
If a camper is found using a cell phone, it will be confiscated and returned to the child’s parent/guardian upon pick-up time during last day of camp.
Insurance
Accident insurance is included in the camp fee.
This is not a deductible policy.
Any doctor or druggist bills incurred as a result of illness will be mailed directly to the parents or deducted from the camper’s spending money account.
Camp Picture
A cabin and personal photo set will be taken for each child and deducted from her spending account. (See previous page)
Counselors, Instructors & Staff
At Soul Food 2k8 Summer Camp, good counselors with integrity, fun personality, and a strong sense of personal relationship with Christ are selected for your child’s benefit.
We provide the right environment, the best leadership, the inspiration, fun, and, most importantly, a superior reason for camping with us.
Counselors ensure that the campers are cared for and supervised at all times. There are two counselors per cabin and separate cabin areas for boys and girls.
Moreover, boys and girls cabins are located at opposite areas on the camp site. Counselors take time to get to know each camper, help to initiate the building of friendships, and work to develop team spirit.
Laundry Services
Laundry services will be provided to over-night campers only, unless there is an emergency situation.
There is no additional charge for the laundry services and it is entirely optional (See registrar for more details).
Airport Transportation
Transportation to and from the Tampa International Airport is available at an additional cost of $50 each way per child.
Please mail or e-mail airline, flight numbers, and time and date weeks in advance.
