frequently asked questions

what is included in the cost of passion camp?

Registration includes transportation between Quay Church and Daytona, hotel rooms, all meals, conference admission ticket, a camp shirt, and a swag bag.

what safety and security measures are in place at passion camp?

The Ocean Center, where sessions take place, requires that all bags are clear upon entrance. Their security team checks bags and admissions tickets before each session. There are also security staff members throughout the venue at all times. We as a church provide additional safety and security measures. We provide bright colored lanyards for our team to be able to easily identify students from afar. Students are required to always be with a leader, whether at the hotel, conference center, or during free time. 

who is leading our students?

Wake has a team of 40 adults stewards and staff who faithfully serve your students each year. Many are crew leaders with us throughout the school year, and know each student in their crew well. Some are only able to serve with us in the summers, and look forward to Camp each year. Our team is background checked and trained on protocols and best practices. They serve faithfully and are committed to supporting your students in their walk with Jesus.

When we arrive to Daytona Beach on Monday, students will have time to settle into their hotel rooms and have dinner before the first session at 8:00pm.

what is squad wars?

Squad Wars is a high energy and fun competition held each morning of Camp. Churches are placed into one of four Squads and students are able to compete for points throughout the week. Students are highly encouraged to come dressed with as much team spirit as possible — everyone goes all out for this with costumes, noisemakers, signs, and more! Wake’s squad name and color will be announced in June.

Wake offers a Squad Starter Kit, which includes items and accessories that are our squad’s colors. This is a one-stop shop for Squad Wars accessories at a highly discounted price! This may be purchased upon registration, or requested via email by June 24.

what can students do during free time?

Students have free time between lunch and dinner, which usually lasts around four hours. They are able to walk in the areas surrounding the hotel, relax on the beach or at the pool, or stay in the hotel. The local boardwalk and some attractions are off limits to Wake students. Students are required to be with a leader at all times, including during free time. We also have Quay Church staff members stationed throughout the hotel to be on the lookout for students needing assistance.

how are dietary restrictions and other medical concerns handled?

Wake provides all meals and snacks to students daily. As long as we are made aware of any dietary restrictions and allergies upon registration, we can make necessary accommodations.

Wake brings a certified nurse to handle all medical concerns, whether it be daily medication, sicknesses, or injuries. If a student becomes sick or injured, their emergency contact will be made aware immediately to discuss a plan of action, and pickup may be requested. 

who is in my students’ crew and room?

Crews (small groups) consist of up to 20 students in a certain grade and gender. They are led by 2-3 crew leaders. 

Hotel rooms sleep between four and six people. All rooms have either 3 students and a leader or 4-5 students. Any room without a leader will be adjacent to a room with a leader. All leaders will have their own bed. Some students will share a bed or sleep on an air mattress. 

how will my student(s) grow in their crew group? what is the next step from passion camp?

During Passion Camp, often our most impactful time each day is in our crews (small groups). This is a time where your student will talk and share with other students of their same age and gender after each evening session. Over the years we have seen God bless this time with insightful conversations about scripture, confession and reconciliation, as well as students coming to a saving faith in Christ. We don’t want the conversations to end at Camp though, which is why we encourage students to attend Wake throughout the school year. We believe that following Camp, gathering together routinely with likeminded brothers and sisters in Christ is of the utmost importance for believers both young and old. 

how can I help as a parent?

We assemble a team of 40 stewards to attend Camp each year, and would love to have you join! Serving with us at Camp would require full commitment the week of July 13-17. Parents will not be placed in a crew or room with their children. You can read more and apply HERE.
