Choosing your Accommodation
-
Families have the choice of bringing their own tent or RV (no hook-ups), staying downstairs in our main lodge, or staying in cabins. You can decide on your accommodation and request roommates if desired at the time of registration. Registration fee is the same for all accommodations.
-
Downstairs Lodge Rooms: These rooms are ideal for families who want to be near to the indoor bathrooms at night. Our rooms are doubled with a door in the middle for privacy between families. There are also two dormitories with beds for 10 people in case of large groups.
-
Cabins: Our cabins are ideal for families who prefer extra privacy and a quieter place to get away. The cabins are heated by woodstoves if needed and all have nearby outhouses, with the bathrooms in the lodge being a short walk away. Many of the cabins do not have power plug ins, but do have lights.

What to know for Family Camp
-
We have lots of snacks and a “tuck” shop where pop, candy and ice cream, and camp shirts can be purchased so you may want to bring cash or change.
-
We may not have a lifeguard on duty depending on availability. Use of our waterfront is done so at your own risk and all children must be supervised by an adult while in or near the water.
-
Use of all our waterfront equipment requires use of a life jacket/PFD. We have PFDs available, but if you prefer your own please feel free to bring them.
-
There is no wifi available at Rough Acres Bible Camp. Although we do recommend that you stay present with your family during your stay, there is a strong cell phone signal for those needing to connect online during the camp. The camp phone is only available for emergency use.
-
Indoor shoes or socks are required for the dining hall; barefeet are not allowed inside the lodge.
-
Although we acknowledge that pets can be an important part of a family, pets are not permitted on camp property. Please find someone to lovingly care for them during your stay at RABC.
-
If you or your family has any food allergies and requires a special diet, please contact camp to make arrangements or to receive a copy of the menu so you can provide alternatives. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to accommodate special diets.
