Common Questions
What type of training do the counselors receive?
Our staff spends 4 days prior to camp learning all about caring for campers! All our staff is vetted through background checks, reference calls, and in-depth interviews.
​
In 2025 we will spend significant training on trauma-informed care, relational connection, and age-appropriate discussion leadership.
​
Plus our staff have a lot of fun together and lead our campers in fun too!
Can children use their cellphones to call home while they’re at camp?
There is no cell phone reception at camp. Many campers enjoy the quiet of camp without their devices. If you or your camper need to reach each other, or there is an emergency, the camp has a landline.
Can I send mail to my child?
Campers enjoy receiving mail. Mail may be left with camp staff at check in for distribution during the week. Mail may also be sent to the camper at:
Westminster Spires Camp
General Delivery
Red Lodge, MT 59068
​
Please do not include food in the mail you send. Snacks in cabins attract wildlife.
What if my child needs medication at camp?
The Camp Registration form provides a place to denote medications that a camper may need. We request that information on all medications be provided in writing and left with the person checking the camper in for the week. Medications that require a morning and/or evening distribution to the camper are taken care of by a camp staff member.
