Online registration will be available Fall 2023

FAQs

Registration

If you and at least five other campers and one sponsor are coming to camp, and at least one sponsor is staying in a residence hall, you can create a group profile when registration opens in the fall. Each camper (including you) would then need to register for camp individually under your group to receive the group pricing and be on the same team.

  1. After registration opens in the fall, click “Register” and then log in to your account or create an account if you don’t already have one.
  2. The system will then walk you through filling out and submitting the registration.
  3. The registration and the registration fee must be submitted at the same time.

Note: If your church group has opted to pay the registration fees, the system will ask for a passcode that the church created instead of asking for credit card information.

Yes. We will refund all but the registration fee through the method it was paid. The registration fee is nonrefundable and nontransferable. No refunds are available if a participant attends any part of a week.

Activities/Facilities

Your camper will stay in a college residence hall room with, typically, up to three other campers. If your camper is attending with a group, the group is roomed together and the group leader can choose to have up to five participants in one room.

Campers and sponsors may bring their own rock-climbing gear and their own mask and protective gear for paintball (must be checked by camp staff before use) but may not bring their own paintball guns.

However, because Teen Extreme is not responsible for damage or loss of anything you bring to camp, we don’t recommend bringing your own equipment. Paintball guns, and paintballs, as well as masks and protective gear, will be provided.

There will be an activities booth in the Sports Center where your camper may sign up for extra activities.

Yes! This summer, the goal is to give our individuals a great experience at camp just like the many groups that come to Teen Extreme. To have the same great experience, individual campers will be grouped into cabins, and their cabin leader will guide and lead them all week. Every morning, individuals will meet up with their cabin leader before starting off the day and stick together as a cabin as they go about enjoying all the events and activities!

General

Absolutely! Just include the names of the campers your camper would like to stay with on the registration form. Campers are placed in rooms according to birth gender.

Camp check-in starts at 12 noon on Monday and goes until 2:30 p.m. After check-in, your camper will get acquainted with camp through a brief orientation video, settle into the residence hall, visit with friends, get to know other campers, and sign up for any extra activities.

We collect and store lost items during and after camp and hold lost items for two weeks after camp. Submit a lost item report, and we’ll try to find it for you.

Take a look at the What to Bring section for a list of clothing and other items your camper will need. See more information on camp dress code.

Campers must be between the ages of 12 and 18 and be entering into or have just completed grades 7–12.

It’s up to them! If your camper wants to go to West Campus, play paintball, and try the Escape Room, then at least $37.50 should be brought as each extra activity costs $12.50. All three meals (along with dessert) are provided, but your camper might want extra for snacks, souvenirs, etc.

Teen Extreme takes place on an enclosed campus that is staffed with a security team and sheriff department presence. Campers are surrounded by youth leaders, camp staff, and cabin leaders throughout the day. For an additional cost (paid at camp), participants can travel off campus with camp leaders to West Campus, PCC’s private property with security access on Perdido Key. Our camp leaders supervise and interact with campers at every game, activity, meal, and service. They also stay in the residence halls and are available to meet campers’ needs 24 hours a day during the camp week.

Yes. After campers return to their residence halls at the end of the day, camp leaders check each room to make sure every camper is accounted for.

Medical

Campers use the Pensacola Christian College campus facilities, including the Sports Center, Swim Center, Field House, West Campus, and dining hall. Camp activities include rock climbing, swimming, team competitions, sailing/kayaking, Escape Room, paintball, and an indoor water park with a surfing simulator and three water slides. Campers can expect to walk from place to place during the day and night while participating in vigorous indoor and outdoor activities and competitions.

All routine or as-needed prescription medications must be kept and administered by the camp nurse, and upon request, the camp nurse can also keep/administer any over-the-counter medications, vitamins/supplements, or essential oils your camper brings. An Authorization for Administration of Medication form is required for any medications, vitamins/supplements, or essential oils that will be kept by the camp nurse. (EpiPens, inhalers, and insulin may be kept with the camper if needed. Any other prescription medication allowed to be carried by the camper is at the discretion of the camp nurse. An Authorization for Administration of Medication form is still needed in these cases.)

We offer a variety of food options, including gluten-free selections; however, we cannot guarantee that there is no cross-contamination. Campers may bring their own food along with a cooler for items that might require refrigeration. All rooms are equipped with a mini refrigerator. Ice machines are located in each residence hall.

Rooming

One sponsor is required to stay in the residence halls with the campers. We recommend that one sponsor stay in the residence hall for every 6 campers. Local hotels are available for sponsors who wish to stay off campus.

Campers are separated into residence halls by birth gender, so married couples staying with campers would stay in separate buildings. If desired, married couples may find accommodations off campus to stay together.

General

Sponsors pay the same rate as campers with a group unless qualified for a special group offer.

We ask that at least one sponsor be with their campers throughout the day.

If leaders need to bring their younger children along, local hotels are available for accommodations. Younger children are not permitted to stay in the residence halls with campers or to participate in activities. The children must stay with the leader at all times during camp but are welcome to join campers for services and meals. We do have camps available for younger children: Camp o’ the Pines, Discover Day Camp, and Sports Center Day Camp.

Yes. Sponsors are welcome to bring electronic devices and internet access is available just for them. We ask that campers do not bring electronic devices such as tablets or laptops. Campers are permitted to bring cell phones; however, we encourage these to be used for communication purposes only.

At least one sponsor must attend with your group and stay in a residence hall because they help the teens stay on track with activities, games, and services throughout the week.

Visit the Cost and Offers page for more information.

At least six campers and one sponsor must register under a group account (with at least one sponsor staying in a residence hall) to receive the group pricing.

Rooming

Campers are placed in rooms according to birth gender. Church groups always room together, and campers from different church groups never room together unless requested by both churches.

Campers may request roommates on their camp registration form. A leader from your church group may also request that certain campers room together by submitting a group Rooming Request. Rooming requests must be turned in by 8 a.m. the Tuesday prior to camp.

Typically, if more than four campers request to room together, we will place them in rooms next to each other as availability allows. However, the group leader can choose to have up to five participants in one room.

Campers are normally roomed by roommate request or by age. Campers who are not in high school are roomed with or near a sponsor.
