2025 FUGE Camps Update

Hey, .

Happy February! This month is American Heart Month and includes Love Your Pet Day and Valentine's Day! We love all of our group leaders and are so thankful for each and every one of you! You folks are on the front lines with students from week to week, and we so appreciate all you do for them.

The ramp to camp is in full force! Check out the updates below. Please be sure to read through this email to the end. If you need to speak to a customer service rep about your registration, call 1-877-CAMP123. If you have general questions, email us at fuge@lifeway.com.

CAMP WAIVER + TRACK TIME SELECTION

The last three tabs of Group Leader Prep Center are now open. You can access this information here.

The Camp Waiver is now available for parents to complete and can be accessed from the Parents Page.

Each individual attending camp MUST have a completed and submitted Camp Waiver PRIOR to their arrival to camp. Parents of minors must complete the form on their own child's behalf. Group leaders and adult sponsors will complete their own forms. Parents and adult sponsors will need the church registration ID #. These forms must all be completed TWO WEEKS before you arrive to camp.

New for this year: Parents will add their child's Centrifuge track time preferences or MFuge ministry track preferences DURING the Camp Waiver process. Information on this process can be found in the Track Times + Ministry Tracks tab of Group Leader Prep Center.

Check out this video for a step-by-step visual of how this works. This video is also be added to the Parents page in the days ahead. Be sure to point your parents there to watch it, so they know how to complete this process.

As parents complete the Camp Waiver for their child, you will see them populate under the "Waivers Received and Ready To Add" dropdown on your Participant List — which means they are ready for you to add them to your list with just one click of a button! Your Participant List is due and should be submitted by clicking the "Send Completed List To FUGE Camps" button at the bottom of your Participant List. Once your Participant List is complete and submitted, the Church Agreement Form will then become available for you to sign and submit. You will need to complete this form for your church within two weeks of arriving at camp.

Be sure to check out the Forms + Checklist tab for any additional forms that may be required depending on the location your group will attend.

NIGHT LIFE DETAILS
This summer, we will offer the Night Lifes outlined below for 5-day camps. If you are attending a 6-Day location, we will also have a Variety Show.

BLACKOUT is a thrilling race into the light! In this nighttime scavenger hunt, students will race across campus, solving clues to locate the Luminator (light bulb) to bring light back to camp before a total blackout takes over. Teams must work together to solve clues, find the light, and return to home base before time runs out. It’s an electrifying adventure full of teamwork, strategy, and high-energy fun.

INTERNAL SPARK is a customizable Night Life experience designed to help students take ownership of their faith. Through prayer, worship, and scripture, students will reflect on their journey with God in a deeply personal way. Using various activity cards tailored to different spiritual practices, they’ll move through guided sections, including opportunities for reflection, prayer, or an interactive station.

MEGA RELAY is a camp-wide relay race where Bible study groups compete against each other. This summer’s Mega Relay theme is Christmas. Encourage students to bring their favorite Christmas attire to wear during Mega Relay.

NOTE: Mega Relay will now be after dinner on the final night of camp, before worship and church group time at most of our locations. Some may still hold it in the afternoon, but none will be held after worship and church group time.
