Camp Element (Camp Z)@ Lewis River 2025

Youth Entering Grades 3-8

THEME: "Earth"

For those entering 3rd-8th grade, come and bring your friends to Camp Element. In past camps, we've explored fire and water. This year is all about earth! How does this solid element support us? What layers are involved in shaping our world? We will have some old favorites and new surprises in store. Come swim in the river, enjoy classes and worships, dine in the dining hall, play sports in the fields, and sing songs at campfire. All are welcome to find fun and fortify friendships at Lewis River!

EARLY BIRD FEE: $205 by June 27 or REGISTRATION FEE: $255 by July 11 / Contact Directors about registration after July 11

2-for-1 Discount: We offer a 2-for-1 discount when a GPNW camper brings a friend who is new to our GPNW camping program. Enter Promotional Code "241" by clicking on the blue "Enter Promotional Code" link located in the top right of the pop-up window after clicking on the green "REGISTER" button. Be sure to enter your friend's name you are partnered with when asked. Your friend must also submit a registration.

Financial Assistance: In addition to the Early Bird and 2-for-1 discounts, financial assistance may be available from your congregation, and limited financial aid may be available from the GPNW Mission Center. Be sure to contact your congregation for potential financial support before requesting assistance from GPNW. A completed form and camper’s portion of payment must be submitted by deadlines indicated.

If you are receiving any financial assistance, contact GPNW Membership Services Administrator Jill Brunette (, 425-207-8712) for a Financial Aid Form and/the appropriate discount code BEFORE registering online.

Cancellations and Refunds: Please notify the Camp Director of your need to cancel as soon as possible. Refunds will be made as follows: • Before Registration Deadline: 100% • On or after Registration Deadline, prior to first day of camp: 2/3 • After first day of camp: No refunds

Special Needs Campers: Parents of special needs campers must contact the Camp Director prior to registration to discuss arrangements for a possible attendant (who must be a registered youth worker). Because we have volunteer staff, the camps are not equipped to provide trained assistants. We want to be inclusive in our camping program, and we also want to provide a safe and secure environment for our campers.

Medications: All medications must be listed on the registration form. Prescribed medications must be in the container dispensed by the Ph*rm*cy, with Ph*rm*cy instructions intact. Over-the-counter medications must be in the original manufacturer's container, labeled with the camper's name and specific instructions. All medications stay with the Camp Nurse in a secure location.

Worth of all Persons: All are welcome at our Youth Camps. There is to be no discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity, political affiliations, religious beliefs, race, national origin, and range of human ability. The teachings at our youth camps must reflect Community of Christ Identity, Mission, Message, and Beliefs, as well as Policies and Statements. Our staff seek to provide a safe place for all including the use of preferred names and gender identities. To share how we can provide a more inclusive experience for your child or to express any concerns, please contact the Camp Director or GPNW USA MC Camping Ministries Director.
