Welcome to Rock Springs Camp & Retreat Center. We hope this information will
help you with your stay. If you have any questions feel free to ask our
caretaker.
General information
Please understand that solely volunteers run this camp. The small fee that
your group pays only helps to defer the costs of running a camp of this size.
You are welcome to use mostly everything in the camp for your group. Please talk
to the caretaker about any specific needs. The camp is only able to provide the
basic consumable items (TP, paper towels, cleaning supplies), anything beyond
these basics your group will need to supply. Some groups have left supplies
behind, and you are welcome to use them. The buildings your group requested
should be unlocked upon your arrival. If you find a room is locked, it is not
available for use. Generally we do not give out keys to the rooms for groups
unless specifically requested ($5.00 deposit per key). If you lock yourself out
of your room please contact the caretaker. Your group is responsible at the end
of your stay, for cleaning the areas it used. Cleaning supplies are provided
throughout the camp. If you need anything, or have questions please ask the
caretaker.
Please go over the information below with your group upon arrival. The group
leader is responsible for making sure these items are followed. Any damage
caused by your group will be charged to the group leader.
 | Please do not move things from room to room. Most items have been donated
or purchased specifically for the room that they are in. If you require
something special please talk to the caretaker. |
| Please try to conserve energy by turning things off when not needed
(lights, AC / heat). |
| Most items around the camp are available for you to use while visiting.
Please return what you use to its proper location making sure it is clean and
neatly organized when you return it. If you have questions on how to use
something, please ask the caretaker. |
| All campfires must be inside designated campfire rings and supervised by
an adult. There is one fire ring in the tent area, one fire ring in the fire
circle, and one fire ring in the picnic area (see map). Feel free to use the
firewood located near each fire ring, or any dead trees laying on the ground.
Do not burn trash in the fire, and please be careful with all fires. |
| If something is broken or in need of repair please notify the caretaker.
The sooner we find out about something; generally the less it costs to repair. |
| No alcohol or tobacco products are allowed on the premises. This is a
church camp and this is strictly enforced. If you must smoke, please smoke
inside your personal vehicle. |
| Please park your vehicles in the designated parking areas away from the
buildings (see map). Vehicles need to be kept away from the buildings for fire
and safety reasons. |
| Please drive slowly (5mph maximum) in the camp. The roads have some uneven
spots, and many blind corners. Please be safe. |
| No pets are allowed in any of the buildings. Pets are only allowed to stay
overnight in the tent area, or in a privately owned cabin. Pets must be kept
on a leash at all times. Please pick up after your pet and dispose of waste in
the dumpster. Any damage done by a pet will be charged to the group leader. |
| The washer and dryer in the kitchen area are for cleaning camp owned items
only. Laundry facilities can be found in Reedsburg and Baraboo. |

| At the end of your stay,
you are required to clean up your rooms and prepare them for the next guests.
A vacuum, trash bags, and cleaning supplies can be found in the closet at the
end of the hallway. All trash should be brought to the dumpster. Please
checkout with the caretaker when you are ready to leave. |
| Your group is required
to clean and maintain the public areas (restrooms, hallways, dining hall,
kitchen, lounge, and play areas). The bathroom, kitchen, and dining area
floors must be wet mopped at the end of your stay. Cleaning supplies can be
found near each public area. All trash should be placed into the dumpster. |
| Please place aluminum
cans (only) in the red container next to the soda machine, located in the log
building. Money raised from recycling the aluminum goes to support the youth. |
| There is a phone
located in the log building in the kitchen area. This phone is set up for
local calls only. If you need to make a long distance call you will have to
either use a calling card or call collect. In case of an emergency call 911. |
| Upon arrival, every
group is required to provide the camp with a group roster listing everyone
entering the camp. The roster needs to be filled in completely, with names,
addresses, and telephone numbers. This information is filed, and would only
be used for emergency purposes. |
| Before departing, your
group is expected to clean up after themselves. Failure to clean up after
your group may result in forfeiture of security deposit and future denial of
rental. |
Thank you in advance for your cooperation with these items. If you have any
questions please talk to the caretaker.
