Check-In Procedure

We at Stonegate Church understand that it can be stressful to drop your children off. Our goal is to ease your stress and that of your children as much as possible. Please know that we take our responsibility of safeguarding your children seriously. We require extensive training and a thorough background check for all volunteers. All rooms are checked for safety on a weekly basis. Your child's health is important to us, so all workers must also follow strict health guidelines for the prevention of the spread of germs.

Camp Stonegate strives to offer a welcoming, encouraging, loving environment where your children will learn about Jesus through Bible stories and illustrations. Time spent with us will include story time, games, crafts, snacks, as well as play time with other children.

We suggest you try these steps when preparing your children for Camp Stonegate.

On the drive to church:

1. Be sure to explain to your children where you are going and what they will be doing (story time, games, crafts, snacks and play time with other children).

2. Remind them that though you will not be staying with them, they will have other children and teachers in each classroom that will. Let them know how important it is that each of you have time where you can learn more about God. Assure them that you will not be far away as you worship in the same building, and if needed, the teacher can easily come get you.

3. Tell your children that church is a safe and fun place to be. Let them know how much their teachers love them and how important this special time together is.

4. Don't forget to reassure them that you will come get them as soon as the service is over.

When you get to church:

Register your children in the designated check-in area. If this is your first time at Stonegate Church, you will need to fill out a brief information card for each child. Please make sure we are aware of any medical conditions so that we are better able to serve you and your family.

On the way home:

1. Be sure to congratulate your children on being brave in going to church by themselves.

2. Ask what they learned during their time at Camp Stonegate.

3. Get them excited for returning next week!
