Camper eligibility

Who can attend Rocky Mountain Honors Camp?

RMHC serves qualified middle school and high school campers who are ready for a week of growth, community, and challenge.

The basic requirements

Three things to check before applying.

Grade and age

Campers entering grades 6–8 must be at least 10 years old by the first day of camp. Campers entering grades 9–12 must be at least 13.

Club achievement

Campers must complete the applicable year of Awana handbook and related requirements. Returning campers continue in the normal handbook progression.

Forms and conduct

Registration includes health information, a current physical, consent materials, and agreement with camp conduct and dress expectations.

Program qualifications

Talk with your club leader early.

The existing RMHC qualification framework includes completion of the appropriate handbook, Bible reading or summaries where applicable, and service or training expectations for older programs.

  • Sparks or T&T handbook requirements for eligible younger campers
  • Trek Check, handbook, and Bible reading or summaries
  • Journey handbook, Bible reading or summaries, and service or training
  • The next handbook or manual in sequence for returning campers

Final eligibility is confirmed during the application process. Because annual program requirements may change, your local club leader and the current camper application remain the authoritative sources.
