Camp Credit - Cashless
With the goal of making our shops more efficient and help with the loss of cash, we are cashless! As we aren't accepting cash at our retail locations, you will either need to send your camper with a Debit or Credit card to use or purchase Camp Credit for them through your Registration Portal. By doing either of these options, you can ensure your camper will be able to make purchases in our retail locations. If you decide to purchase Camp Credit through our online Registration Portal, you can view the items they have purchased and replenish their funds throughout their time at Glorieta Day Camp. Any amount left in a camper's account at the end of the month following your camper's departure will be refunded or donated depending on your selection. This gives campers in financial need the opportunity to have a life-changing experience at Glorieta!
Retail
Day Camp has the chance to visit our Route 66 retail location multiple times throughout the week. This is the perfect time for your camper to use their camp credit.

Day Camp FAQs
How does camp work?
Campers are divided into groups based on age and gender. Depending on size, each group has 1 or 2 counselors who will lead them throughout the day. This includes activities, lunch, Bible study, etc.
Can I pick my camper up early?
Yes, please just give us a heads up the morning of. We will bring your camper to the front gate ready to go!
Do you wear life jackets during the waterfront?
Yes! Everyone has to wear a life jacket or they can not get in the water. We also have lifeguards on duty.
My camper has a friend that is going to camp the same week, can they be in the same group?
We break into groups by gender and age, so if they fall in the same category, then yes. If not, there are multiple chances throughout the day for them to see each other.
What happens if it rains during the day?
Unless it's heavy rain or lightning, we do camp like normal, but if that's the case, we have a rainy day plan that includes indoor activities.
What if my camper does not own a Bible?
That's okay, we can provide one for the week, and then they could take it home if so desired.
Final Payment
Be sure to make your final payment for Day Camp prior to arrival day. If you still have a balance on your account when you arrive, you will need to finish paying at check in, otherwise your camper will not be able to stay.
