Commanders and Elite grads who wish to serve on staff have to be approved by the camp organizers!

Staff have to be approved by the Camp Commander before registering on Campwise and need to get the online Pastoral reference form submitted by their lead pastor or designated pastor or board member. This needs to be filled out once a year.

1. Register on Campwise.
2. It is recommended that campers register at least two weeks in advance in order to secure a spot. Camp apparel that may have been included in your registration is not guaranteed to late registrants.
3. An online Pastoral Reference must be completed BEFORE the start of camp for anyone over 18 years. This must be completed every year and is good for every Rangers camp for that year.
4. Consider packing your gear in a wooden box, which can serve as a seat!
5. Sleepover or arrive as early as you can to help with set-up. The camp starts at 10 am on a Friday so you may miss a day of school.
6. Arrange for your parents to attend your graduation at 2pm on Sunday, you go home with them after that.
7. Ensure your Commander gives you credit for any merit requirements you achieved at camp.
