FAQ
Are there any additional charges for campers?
We try to keep our additional charges to a minimum. A list of additional charges can be found in the Camp Activities section of this packet.
What if a camper is coming in by plane?
Round trip van shuttle from Tampa International Airport is available. Please call the conference center front desk at least 72 hours in advance to reserve your transportation. (727) 379-5000. The charge is $20 per person per way.
What are the cabin facilities like?
Campers sleep on bunk beds in air-conditioned cabins with bathroom facilities inside each cabin. Each room houses about 12-13 campers and 2 counselors. Groups are automatically housed together as much as possible unless requested otherwise.
What is the food like?
The food served is the finest quality and is prepared under strict supervision. A well-balanced diet is planned for each day. Campers are served family style and are free to eat as much as they desire. Candy and snacks are available at the Snack Shack. Campers are also welcome to bring their own snacks.
What is the Camper Bank?
We recommend that campers put their spending money (for activities, pizza, snack shack, camp store, et.) in the Camper Bank. This can be done on registration day or prior to arrival. The amount of spending money your camper brings is up to the parent. Word of Life is not responsible for any money or items not deposited in the bank.

Lost and found articles are returned COD upon claim by parents, up to 30 days after the end of their camping week. Call (727) 379-5020 for lost items.

Please limit calls to campers for emergencies only. The Camp office can be reached by calling (727) 856-7575 or (727) 379-5600. A message will be taken, your camper will be informed, and they may return your call. No calls after 10 pm unless it is an extreme emergency. Campers may not have cell phones at camp. Phone cards are available for purchase at the camp bookstore.
Who are the counselors?
The counseling staff at the Word of Life Youth Camp is of the highest caliber. They have been carefully selected and specially trained.
