Summer Theme 2022
Boundless: God Beyond Measure

I pray that you and all of God’s people will understand what is called wide or long or high or deep. I want you to know all about Christ’s love, although it is too wonderful to be measured. Then your lives will be filled with all that God is. —Ephesians 3:18-19

SUMMER CAMP PRICING 2022

INTRODUCING TIERED PRICING

Summer camp at Cross Roads has traditionally been offered at a price lower than the true cost of running programming. Beginning in Summer 2022, Cross Roads has instituted a voluntary four-tier tuition structure. Choose the tier that is most suitable for your family’s situation. We are committed to providing an excellent camp experience for all campers, no matter which tier is right for you! For those who cannot afford Tier I, camperships are available to ensure that all have the wonderful opportunity to attend camp.

Youth Camp Programs, High School Week, and Adventure Camp: Tiered pricing beginning at $550

Leaders in Training: Tiered pricing beginning at $550

S.E.E.K.: Tiered pricing beginning at $850

Holdover Weekend: $65

Family Camp
Christ Center lodging: $250 per room
Cabin lodging: $175
Meal plans:
Ages 13+: $125
Ages 6-12: $62.50
Ages 0-5: free

REINTRODUCING THE FAMILY MAX

We want every child to experience a week at camp! In order to help make this possible for your family, Cross Roads is reinstating a family maximum. Families with more than 2 youth registering for youth camp will pay only for the first two campers; every registration after that will be free. Those wishing to take advantage of this offer must contact the Office prior to registration: 908-832-7264 or officemanager@crossroadsretreat.com. Please note that all children must be from the same household and this offer only applies to the first week of camp for each child (additional weeks will be at regular pricing).

CANCELLATION POLICY — SUMMER 2022

The deposit and $10 registration fee are non-refundable.

However, if Cross Roads cancels your camper’s session/sessions, you will have the opportunity to:

  • Donate any/all monies paid to the ministry of Cross Roads.
  • Apply any/all monies paid to a future session of camp at Cross Roads.
  • Receive a refund for any/all monies paid (less registration fee, if applicable).

If the Federal Government, the Centers for Disease Control, state or local authorities, or the written advice of a physician keeps you from coming to camp due to COVID-19, know that the same options listed above apply to monies paid as well.
