Youth Camp Information
Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, summer youth camps have been canceled. Please see our COVID-19 FAQs page or our COVID-19 blog post for the most recent information. Thank you for your support during this time!
Prepare for hot camp days by drinking lots of water for several days before coming to camp and spending time outside to become accustomed to the heat. Don't forget your water bottle! Water bottles will also be available to purchase at check-in.

Camp Scholarships
Camp scholarship funds are available. Many churches also offer camp scholarships. Please contact Camp Mennoscah at 620-297-3290 or office@campmennoscah.org. Scholarships are confidential. Church scholarships must be received by Camp Mennoscah before the first day of camp or the camper will be responsible for paying any remaining charges at the time of registration. Checks must be made out to Camp Mennoscah.
Dress Code
Camp is a place for comfortable, modest clothes. Clothing for both boys and girls is expected to be non-revealing and non-provocative. Swimsuits should be one-piece or a tankini that covers mid-section for girls and no racing trunks for boys. Campers, whose clothes are deemed inappropriate by camp staff, will be asked to either change or wear a colored t-shirt over a swimsuit as a cover-up.
Visitors
Camp Mennoscah welcomes visitors and parents on the first and last days of camp.
Camp Mennoscah Renovation Fund
Camp Mennoscah relies on donations for further camp development such as renovations and future improvements or additions around the camp. This could include new sports equipment, pool accessories, building renovations, landscaping or picnic tables. To contribute to this fund, check the appropriate box during online registration or contact Camp Mennoscah for other options. Thank you for your support in the ongoing ministry of the camp!
Camper Mail
We welcome mail of most kinds, just make sure it has enough postage and time to get here. Lanyards and other bulky items require more than a First-Class stamp. Please do not send food or candy to your camper — any food received will be held by staff until the camper completes check-out at the end of the week. All mail that arrives after the final day of camp will be forwarded or returned to the sender. You can send mail to:
“Camper’s Name” c/o Camp Mennoscah PO Box 65 Murdock, KS 67111
If you wish to send an email message to your camper, please send an email to office@campmennoscah.org with the camper’s name as the subject line. The message will be printed and given to the camper with all other mail.
