Frequently Asked Questions

We serve campers with many and varied disabilities, to include people with Down Syndrome, Autism, ADHD, Cerebral Palsy, Spina Bifida, Blindness, Deafness and other developmental disabilities. Prior to every new camper coming to Camp Promise, the director will meet with the individual and their caregivers to determine whether camp is appropriate for their loved one. Feel free to contact the director with any specific questions.

We have a full-service dining hall and can accommodate certain food allergies like gluten and dairy. If your camper requires a special diet, you will indicate those needs in their application and then one to two weeks prior to camp you will receive a menu for the week that includes gluten & dairy free options. If your camper needs an additional substitution for a meal listed, you can feel free to bring food from home that will be noted and prepared for your camper while they are at camp.

Campers will be provided with three full meals during overnight camp and given the opportunity to purchase snacks at our new Camp Store during the afternoon.

We have a male and female dorm that has four cabin style room, each with its own bathroom and bunk beds for sleeping. Unless your camper requests a top bunk, all campers will have a lower bunk to sleep in. We do have a couple of cabins of campers who stay in the Outback. Those cabins hold a similar number of campers but use a bathhouse that is outside the cabin.

Big Sky Bible Camp strives to provide a safe environment for our camper and limits the number of visitors who come while camp is in session. We are not able to complete background checks on every visitor that comes onto camp property; therefore, for the protection of your children, all visits will take place at the camp office. Visitors must call ahead to inform camp of their visit. If you are interested in seeing more of the camp property, drop-off and pick-up times are great opportunities to walk around and take a look a camp!

• ALL visitors must check in at the office.
• Visiting hours at camp will be anytime from 12pm-4pm.
• A camp counselor will be informed of the visit and make sure the camper is at the office for the visit.
• Visitors must stay at the office location for the duration of the visit for the protection of our other campers and to avoid increased homesickness, which is oftentimes made worse when a camper sees another parent visit.
• Underage visitors must be accompanied by an adult.

A parent or caregiver may feel the need to shadow their camper while the camper is getting adjusted to camp. While we understand the concerns of caregivers, campers are in excellent hands, and the goal is to increase independence of the camper. Any special needs should be discussed with camp staff or during the interview process to ensure campers have a great experience.

All staff paid or volunteer over the age of 14 must have a completed background check on file with Big Sky Bible Camp in order to serve at Camp Promise.

All camper information is stored in our Campbrain registration system. Photo permissions are given by each camper to use their photos for promotional purposes. All staff is reminded to keep camper information confidential and to not post camper pictures on their personal social media.
