Registering for Camp

Register Online!

The quickest and easiest way to sign up for camp is to Register Online.  Just follow the link to Campwise, our registration website, and follow the directions. Online registration requires online payment.

Having trouble?

Our online registration service is the simplest way to get your camper registered- but if you are encountering problems, you can contact our registrar office by email or call 618.357.1809. A debit/credit card is required for payments over the phone.


Things to Consider as you Register

Cabin Buddies

TWO campers may request to bunk together. However, they must be within one year of age AND both request each other on their Camp Registration Forms. All written requests are considered, but not guaranteed.

It’s fun to share a week of camp with old friends, and it may be easier for first-time campers to come with a buddy. Campers are encouraged to recruit their friends (and receive a discount for their efforts).

Camp provides great opportunities to make new friends and build new relationships. It is our responsibility to assign campers in the way we feel is in the best interest of the whole camp family.

Health or Dietary Issues

If your camper has significant health or dietary issues, contact our office via email before registering AND describe the issues on the registration form. We partner with parents to accommodate special needs whenever possible.

Discounts, Scholarships and Assistance

Early Bird Discounts

Register early between March 4 and March 18 to save $20 on full-week sessions and part-week sessions. Non-refundable deposit of $50 confirms your camp registration.

Family Savings!

Family discount of $50.00 when two or more from the same household registers—excludes the Just You and Me Family Camp.

UCC Church Scholarships!

Many United Church of Christ congregations in the Illinois South Conference offer to pay a portion of the camp fee for their members.  Check with your church!

*Please note that discounts cannot be combined.

Registration Confirmations

We will email your confirmation within 10 days of receiving your registration and payment.

Payment Plan

If you register online, it’s easy to make payments to your account at your convenience. If you register by mail and would like to set up a payment plan, contact the Registrar at 618.357.1809 for assistance.

Cancellations

The $50 deposit is non-refundable.

If a registration is canceled at least 30 days in advance of the start of the camp session, the full camp fee (minus the $50 deposit) will be refunded.  When notification is received between 14 and 29 days, up to 75% of the total camp fee will be refunded. When less than 14 days’ notice is received, no refund is given.

In cases of sudden illness, accident, or emergency, we can transfer your registration to another session if space is available. If all sessions are full, then a full refund is given.

A Note from DuBois Center

Dear Friends,

As many of you already know, we have curtailed operations through Monday, April 13 in support of state declarations related to COVID-19 and our sincere desire to be part of the solution. At this time, events in March and early April have been canceled. The need to cancel future events is being monitored and updated weekly by the Executive Committee of the ISC Conference Council. As we all are becoming increasing aware, we do not know what tomorrow might bring. We are hoping and planning for a full season of summer camp. Registration is open and some sessions are nearly full. (Please see related articles on cancellations.) Summer staff can’t wait to be back outdoors with campers – laughing, singing playing and praying together. Volunteers are being recruited and planning is in full swing. If you have questions or concerns, please feel free to contact Shirley at dcinfo@DuBoisCenter.org or 618-787-2202. Thank you for your understanding and support. Our staff and volunteers are keeping you, your families and your churches in our thoughts and prayers.

God’s peace be with you!

Shirley Asmussen and DuBois Center Staff & Volunteers
