New to Pioneer Bible Camp?

We’d love to help you and your camper feel ready for a memorable, life-changing week at Pioneer Bible Camp! Below are the answers to the most common questions we get from parents. If you have further questions or would like to set up a time to tour camp with your child, please contact Anna at (801) 893-8121 or pbcutah@gmail.com.

How Check-in Works:

  1. When you arrive at camp, our maintenance team will direct you to a place to park.

  2. Unload your camper’s luggage and take it to the luggage tent.

  3. Head up to the check-in tent. Please bring your medications and any spending money with you.

  4. You will be given a number at check-in so you know when to load the next available vehicle.

  5. Head down to the luggage tent and bring your number to a designated staff member. They will communicate when to load your luggage and get on the vehicle.

  6. You are welcome to say goodbye from there or go with your camper to meet their counselor.

  7. If you stay, load the bus or wagon and head up to camp. Their counselor will meet you at the General Store.

  8. You can visit your camper’s cabin and then head back to your car. Our drivers will give you a ride back to the parking area.

Roommate Policy

While we do try to accommodate as many roommate requests as possible, we can only put two campers who know each other in the same cabin. Additionally, we can only do this when both campers are the same grade or one grade apart and when both campers request each other on the registration form. Sorry, but we are limited to one request per camper and we are unable to process requests at check-in. We want to do what is best for the whole cabin, so we normally cannot accommodate requests of three friends to be together. We do not want only one camper to not know anyone in his/her cabin.

Contacting Campers

Emergencies

In order to accomplish our vision of creating a distraction-free environment where campers can hear from God’s Word, campers will not have access to phones unless there is an emergency. You can contact our office at (801) 689-6101 if you need to contact your camper. In the case of homesickness, we will contact you and let you make the call on how we handle the situation. We don’t want any campers to feel “stuck” at camp.

Camper Mail

You can send mail to your camper during their week at camp. We have a mail-call once a day where campers get to sing for their mail!

You can either email pbcutah@gmail.com with your camper’s name in the subject line and we will print out your letter or you can mail a letter early in the week (to ensure it’s arrival) to the following address:

Pioneer Bible Camp
3165 E 3350 N
Liberty, UT 84310

Dress Policy

Our goal in developing dress policies is to be both modest and practical. However, dress guidelines can often be a source of tension. Please understand that Pioneer Bible Camp is committed to protecting the innocence of your child while they are in our care. With this in mind, we will ask campers who are wearing articles of clothing not consistent with Pioneer Bible Camp’s dress policy to change. We appreciate your sensitivity to this subject matter, as it is our goal to create an impactful, unforgettable camp environment that is free from distractions.

  • No short shorts -we ask that all shorts come to the camper’s fingertips when standing

  • No short or low tops

  • No tight-fitting clothing (including leggings)

  • No tank tops or spaghetti straps

  • No clothes with offensive advertising or wording

  • One-piece swimsuits (or equivalent) for girls with solid cover-up for transportation to lake

*At the beginning of the week, we will ask the campers if they have packed any of these items. If they have, we will gather the items and store them in a safe place during the week. The items will be returned to them at the end of the week.

Spending Money

How it works

You can either add spending money online during registration or bring money (cash or check preferred) to check-in. We collect the money and put the balance in your camper’s tab, which they can spend throughout the week. We collect all money so it doesn’t get lost or stolen. Any unspent money will be refunded on the last day of camp. We take an offering for our guest speakers each Tuesday as a thank-you. If parents or campers want to give to the speaker offering, it can either be designated online or the camper can indicate how much they want to give during our offering time.

Prices

Our General Store is open once a day. We also have a milkshake shop that we open up a few days during Teen and Jr. High weeks. The following are sample prices of the items we sell:

  • $0.75-1 -drinks, snacks

  • $1-5 -flashlights, magnets, PBC souvenirs, milkshakes

  • $8-15 -t-shirts, stuffed animals, water bottles, mugs

  • $15-25 -long sleeved shirts, hoodies

Dietary Restrictions & Allergies

Please indicate any dietary restrictions or allergies that your child has when you register. We will contact you about how we handle their specific situation. We will always have a plan to accommodate the common allergies that campers have. We will try to ensure that our  menus are accommodating and have options for gluten free, vegetarian, and lactose free campers.

Please note that we are a nut free camp, so no nuts (tree or peanut) will be served at camp. Please keep this in mind if you are bringing substitutes. Do not bring any food containing nuts such as peanut butter, cashew milk, etc.
