In order to ensure that you are adequately prepared to make the most of your Camporama experience, please take note of the following information. Additional details will be added as they become available. Please check back frequently for updates.

All registered campers must be of the male gender (with the exception of registered, international female Royal Rangers). Otherwise, females may attend as visitors.

Arrival & Departure

Gates to the campgrounds will open at 1:00 pm on Sunday, July 10. Outposts may enter, complete the onsite check-in process, and begin setting up camp at that time.  The first meal provided will be dinner on Sunday night. The camp will officially conclude on Friday morning, July 15 with breakfast being the last meal served. The camp will close at 3:00 pm. All outposts are asked to be off the property by that time.

Meals & Snacks

A complete list of daily meals will be provided here a few weeks prior to the start of Camporama. Individuals with food allergies or dietary limitations are encouraged to bring their own meals to Camporama as alternative menu options will not be available.

Snack bars will be open during designated times to provide additional food options for campers or visitors. View the menu here.

Physical Conditions & Health Issues

Campers must be in good physical condition. Camporama is an outdoor, camping event conducted over a large area. Trails and roads are not paved, and only limited transportation will be available between areas of activity. Campers should, therefore, be prepared to walk considerable distances (1000 ft or more) over uneven ground to fully participate in all events and activities.

All prescription medications must be registered with the Camp Hospital upon check-in. Some medications may be required to be kept at the hospital while others may be kept by the camper’s leader or parent in the campsites, depending on the medication or situation involved.

Handicap Access

Handicap access is currently very limited at Camp Eagle Rock. Roads and trails are not paved, and buildings and restrooms may not accommodate wheelchair access.

Charging Stations

An enclosed and manned charging station is available at each regional headquarters. These charging stations are for their region’s use. A check-in and check-out process has been established and will be followed by all individuals using these charging stations. Telephones and chargers for CPAP batteries take precedence over other electronics. To check your electronic device in you must have the full charging cord assembly attached to the device. There will be no sharing of cords or disconnecting someone else’s cord to connect to yours. A tag will be affixed to the charging cord to verify ownership at check-in and confirmation at check-out. Check with your region for the designated hours of operation for this service.

CPAP Units

Due to the size of the camping areas we cannot provide power to individual tents or campsite. As such, all CPAP type machines must be brought with their own battery power (generators are not allowed to be brought by campers for their individual use). As noted above, each region will be providing a charging station. Same rules apply for CPAP units: to check your CPAP battery in for charging you must have the full charging assembly attached to the battery.

For example: If a car battery is used to power a CPAP, then the battery must be accompanied with a battery charger.

It is recommended that you put your name on your battery and charger. There will be no sharing of cords or disconnecting someone else’s charger to connect to another battery.  A tag will be affixed to the charging cord to verify ownership at check-in and confirmation at check-out.

Emergency Contacts

Limited telephone service will be available at the camp. Due to the mountainous terrain, cell phone coverage is generally weak. Detailed emergency contact numbers will be made available early next year.

Dress Code

The weather this time of year in Missouri is very hot. Typical summer weather shorts, camp t-shirts, etc. are the norm. Muscle shirts (sleeveless) are acceptable for men and boys to wear. Bathing suits must be modest for the camp setting (no Speedo’s). Sturdy walking shoes are strongly recommended. Shirts and shorts worn should be consistent with a Christian-based event.

Female visitors to camp are asked to dress modestly during their visit to Camp Eagle Rock.

Uniforms

Uniforms are not needed at Camporama. All campers will receive (2) camp t-shirts for use during the camp.
