Camp Preo
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is scholarship money available?
Yes. We have never turned a camper away because of cost. You can request a full or partial scholarship on our registration form.
Q: What kind of supervision will my camper receive?
Kids are split into groups of 6-8 campers for the week. Our younger groups (ages 4 & 5) have 3-4 counselors assigned to them for the week, while older groups (ages 6 & 7) have 2-3. All activities are led by additional staff, making our overall staff to camper ratio better than 1:1.
Q: Where is Camp Preo located?
Preo is held on the grounds of Camp Olivet in Springville, IN, about 25 minutes southwest of Bloomington. We meet at Evangelical Community Church each morning and ride the bus to camp.
Q: Who runs camp, and what do you believe?
Camp Preo is operated by Evangelical Community Church in Bloomington, IN. You can read ECC’s Statement of Faith here.
Q: My child is not a Christian. Will s/he feel awkward?
We hope not. We have many campers each year from outside the church environment. We will be talking about Jesus and what the Christian faith is all about. We will not coerce your child to believe something they do not believe, nor will they be ostracized. We think your camper, as thousands of campers have in the past, will enjoy their experience at ECC Camps regardless of their faith.
