Gentlemen
Our general rule is neck to the knees and loose. Recreational clothing for outdoor activities, athletic clothing for gym activities, and nice, casual clothing should be worn to the evening services. All shirts must have sleeves: no tank tops. Bring clothes that would be comfortable, yet conservative, for recreational activities. Avoid wearing clothing with inappropriate advertisements.
Swim shorts are acceptable swimwear. Guys must wear a t- shirt TO and FROM swim time. Remember flip flops, sunscreen, hat, & beach towel!
Medical
Medications must be brought to camp in their original bottle/package. This is a legal requirement. NO EXCEPTIONS. We suggest each camper bring their medications in a gallon-sized bag with written directions for times and dosages. We cannot accept weekly pill dispensers.
As a part of health check at registration, teen campers will turn their meds into the Health Technicians. Teens should pick up their medications before departure on Friday in the upper courtyard.
Although we do not anticipate needing to require a Recent General Health Form, CoBeAc has always expected that campers come to camp in good health and not to have experienced a fever or flu-like symptoms within the 48 hours preceding arrival to camp.
Camp Stores
Mineshaft
At the Mineshaft, campers can purchase all of their CoBeAc gear: from apparel like t-shirts, sweatshirts, and hats to other mementos like blankets, notebooks, and backpacks. The Mineshaft also sells snacks like Jones Sodas and candy bars.
Ugly Mug
Campers (and sponsors) will be sure to stop by the Ugly Mug for their fill of specialty coffee drinks. Here, you can order frappuccinos, lattes, iced coffee, fruit smoothies, or even get an ugly mug of your own to bring home.
The Outpost
Down in the lower courtyard, campers will find the Outpost, a canteen-style concessions stand where snacks like ice cream, Jones soda, candy bars, bosco sticks, and popcorn can be purchased.
FAQ
How can parents send mail to their campers?
Parents can send mail to the Cobeac address, with their camper's name on it.
EXAMPLE: John Doe 4925 S Reserve Rd. Prudenville, MI 48651
We suggest parents send mail at least a week and a half ahead of time so it is already at camp before their campers arrive.
Parents can also email campers at yes2camp@cobeac.org, the week of camp to be delivered at mail call. Please put the camper's name in the subject line.
How does camp deal with dating couples?
No physical contact is allowed between campers of opposite genders. All campers are required to stay in supervised areas.
What if my camper has a food allergy?
Our kitchen is equipped to provide meals for campers with food allergies. Inform the office if your camper will need assistance with allergies, including gluten, dairy, lactose, nuts, etc. This does not include lifestyle choices like vegan, kosher, Whole30, etc. We cannot accommodate special requests if campers do not have an allergy.
What if my camper needs to leave before Friday afternoon?

What if something gets left at camp?
The camp will keep any lost and found items for two weeks before donating them to a local thrift shop. Parents or sponsors can call the office with the specific description of the lost item, and shipping arrangements can be made.
