Thank you for registering for one of Camp Arcadia’s Teen Week. Please go through the following steps after you have registered. (NOTE: If you haven’t yet registered for the Teen Retreat, please click here and register.)
Step One: Read the following CANCELLATION POLICY carefully:
- Cancellations before April 15: full deposit refunded
- Cancellations after May 15: $50 cancellation fee per person
- Cancellation after June 1: cancellation fee equal to full minimum deposit.
- If you have been exposed or test positive for COVID-19 two weeks prior to your stay at Camp Arcadia, a full refund will be provided.
Step Two: Parents, provide required medical and other information
As part of the registration confirmation process, parents will be emailed a notice on April 15th to provide camper health history and other critical information. Once parents are sent this message, we ask that parents log back onto the Camp Arcadia registration portal and provide this information. These forms and the balance of the retreat payment are due on May 15th.

Regarding spending accounts: Spending accounts are used at Camp Arcadia in place of cash for purchases in our Trading Post and craft shop. The spending account limit for your camper is designated by the parent/guardian through the registration portal on the form titled “Supplemental Teen Retreat Information.” This amount is a recommendation to the camper. Camper is responsible to not exceed the limit. They are able to check their tab balance daily. You are welcome to pay your campers spending account at checkout. If you do not we will email you an invoice to pay online. If you are not picking up your child from camp, we will send you an invoice to pay online.
Step Three: Parents and teens, read the following information about WHAT TO EXPECT:
- Check in is between 2 PM and 6:00 PM Sunday (Eastern Time).
- Pick up campers between 12:30 PM and 1:30PM on Friday.
- Upon arrival at Camp you will be asked to provide the results of a negative COVID-19 test for your child that was administered within 72 hours of their stay at Camp Arcadia.
- By Michigan State law you are required to turn in all medication in the original bottle (including aspirin or vitamins) to the Nurse upon arrival. This is a critical preventative safety measure for all those at camp.
