CABIN REQUESTS
Coming to camp with a friend can make the experience even more exciting!
If your camper would like to request a cabin mate, those requests must be submitted through your registration account prior to your camper’s session. Each camper may request up to two cabin mates. Groups larger than three campers will be divided to help us create healthy, balanced cabin communities.
The deadline to submit or adjust cabin requests is one week before your camper’s arrival. While we do our very best to honor requests, cabin placements are ultimately made at our team’s discretion to ensure the best possible experience for every camper.
Have a question?
Contact our registrarCAMP STORE
The camp store (we call it the ‘Red Canoe’) exists to support the camp experience, not compete with it. It’s a place for campers to grab a forgotten essential, pick up some Lake Ann Camp gear, or take home a small reminder of a meaningful week.
Nothing in the Red Canoe is required. Everything is optional and intentionally chosen to fit camp life.
Revenue from the camp store contributes to camper scholarships.

PHOTOS & MEDIA
Media is how we tell the story of camp.
Digital media can be purchased in advance during registration through CampBrain or at the media table during pick-up on Saturday mornings.
While our team works hard to document camp, we can’t guarantee photos or videos of every camper. Our focus is on capturing the story of camp as it unfolds, not documenting every moment.
Learn moreTECHNOLOGY
Camp is designed to help campers step away from everyday distractions and fully engage in the people and experiences around them.
While campers may bring personal technology, it is not encouraged. Devices are the sole responsibility of the camper, and Lake Ann Camp is not responsible for loss or damage.
To help everyone stay present, Tuesdays and Thursdays are encouraged as technology-free days.
If a device becomes a distraction from the camp experience, our staff may temporarily hold it.
Our goal isn’t to restrict, it’s to create space for growth and community.
FAQs
That’s more common than you think! Our staff are intentional about helping every camper feel welcomed, included, and confident from the moment they arrive.
Many campers come without a friend and leave with several. Cabin groups are designed to help campers build strong connections quickly.
Absolutely. If there is ever a concern regarding your camper’s health, safety, or well-being, our team will contact you directly.
Each day is filled with activities, time at the waterfront, cabin moments, meals together, and meaningful chapel sessions. Campers stay active, engaged, and surrounded by a positive community.
Cabins are organized by grade and program. While we do our best to honor cabin requests, our team thoughtfully builds each cabin to create a healthy, balanced group.
