Rules, Dress Code, Packing List, and more!
All details about CentriKid rules, packing list, and dress code can be found in the Parent Pack, along with even more information about the week
Hard copies of the Parent Pack were handed out at the meeting, but if you need one, please ask for one on Sunday morning or Wednesday night, or text Terra Jones (919-605-8358) and she will have one ready for your child on Sunday morning or Wednesday night!
Chaperones
We are required to bring 1 adult female for every 5 female children, and 1 adult male for every 5 male children. Any adult (at least one year removed from high school at the time of camp) from our church will be background checked and have completed MinistrySafe Training.
Interested in attending as a chaperone? You must:
- Love children!
- Want to be part of lives changing forever!
- Willing to be fun and get sweaty!
- Active participant in the life of Berea FBC!
Lifeway and FUGE have additional checks and safeguards for all of their staff. We can share more about that if needed.
Team Assistants
Lifeway has an incredible program for High School Juniors & Seniors, and College Freshmen! Team Assistants are counted in the 1:5 ratio and housed with our group. However, TAs get a behind-the-scenes opportunity to partner with a CentriKid staffer for the week, and will help at Recreation, Bible Study, Track Times, or Production!
Note: Students interested in participating in the Team Assistant program during the CentriKid week must attend Centrifuge camp. TAs will receive a $100 discount on their CentriKid registration.
Please reach out to Mrs. Dawn or Terra Jones for more information!
Cost & Registration
$275
There is a $75 non-refundable deposit due at the time of registration to hold your spot. Final payments are due by May 1.
If the cost of camp prevents your child from attending CentriKid, we have scholarship opportunities! Reach out to Dawn or Terra for more information. Additionally, if the May 1 deadline needs to be extended, please let us know as soon as possible so we can work with you on that date.

These packs are $40 and include an Organized Mass Chaos t-shirt, backpack, water bottle, sunglasses, and eye black, all in their team color. They are not required, but can be a fun addition to your child’s CentriKid experience. For an additional $5, you can add on a stuffed bear.
The order form can be found in the Parent Pack, and must be turned in to Dawn or Terra, along with payment, by May 1
