Couples Camp FAQS

Registration FAQ:

  • How much is it?
    Registration is $259.98 per couple.
  • How do I register for Couples Camp?
    When registration is open, you can register here, or sign up for updates here to be notified when registration opens.
  • Is there a minimum age?
    Yes, you must both be at least 18.
  • Do we need to be a married couple to attend Couples Camp?
    Yes, this Couples Camp is designed for a man and woman who are married.
  • Where is it?
    At our awesome BASE CAMP land in Felicity, Ohio, just about 30 minutes east of Cincinnati. 420 Neville-Penn Schoolhouse Road Felicity, Ohio 45120
  • What if we need to arrive late or leave early?
    Again, as with marriage...if you’re in, you’re in for the whole thing. No late arrivals or early departures.
  • How are campsites organized?
    Campsite groups are typically 3-5 couples (6-10 folks) led by Camp Leads. We do our best to honor these requests but cannot always guarantee that we can accommodate every one. No matter who you end up with there will be lots of time to mingle with friends and make new ones. But you are coming with the most important person for the weekend.
  • How do we join our friend’s Campsite group?
    Reach out to the group leader. Ask for the name and passcode for group/campsite. Select Join a group and then register as a camper. If you have already registered, edit/manage your registration using your confirmation email.
  • What happens if we don’t join an existing Campsite group?
    No worries, we are happy to find and assign you to a Campsite. Expect communication from your Camp Leads by the first week of April.
  • How do we ensure we get to camp with our friends if neither of us are Campsite Leads?
    You can add their name during the registration process. Or after you complete your registration, submit your request to couplescamp@crossroads.net.
  • Can we register for our friends?
    Nope. Each couple needs to complete their own registration. It’s super important that each couple makes the effort to get their own registration taken care of—and each couple needs to digitally sign their own waiver.
  • Can I give a registration to our friends?
    Absolutely, this can be done during registration. First select the type you are gifting. On the next page is the “Send as Gift” button at the top. Enter email address and continue to pay. You think you are done. WRONG. The person hasn’t been contacted. There is one more step. Once you receive your confirmation email you will need to complete follow the instructions (incomplete). This will include writing a personalized note to be sent with their registration. Follow up with them to make sure they received it and registered.
  • Can I get a refund after registration?
    Nope. All purchases are final and non-transferable. We know things come up and that can be a bummer, but we can’t refund anyone’s ticket purchase.

Camp FAQ:

  • Will there be alcohol at this event?
    Yes. While it is certainly not the focus, alcohol will be present.
  • How will I get more details about camp?
    You’ll get assigned to a campsite and a Camp Lead couple. Your Campsite Leads will connect with you via email a few days after signups close. They’ll connect with you and the other folks in your campsite before Camp—that’s the perfect time to ask questions, make plans for who’s bringing and borrowing what, and to bond a bit before the experience itself.
  • How do we get there?
    You’ll carpool with your campsite group. You’ll all travel together to a designated parking area, grab your gear and then hike about a mile and a half into BASE CAMP. (Your Camp Lead will have more info as the time approaches).
  • How many cars can we bring for our campsite?
    We recommend as few as possible. A great starting goal is two cars and depending on the size of your campsite, adjust. Remember pack light!
  • What time do I need to be there on Friday?
    Campsite groups can start hiking in at 4:00pm. If you arrive early you'll be directed to a staging area until 4:00pm. The gates will close at 6:30. As long as you are inside the gate by 6:30pm, or in line on the road, you're good. Your entire Campsite group must be present to begin the hike in.
  • How hard is the hike in?
    That really depends on your fitness and how much you pack, the hike in is 1 mile on a gravel road. You won’t be summiting Everest, but it won’t be a morning stroll through the woods, either. We recommend one of these! We have watched thousands of people walk into camp and one thing is for certain - you do not have to carry everything in on your back! Remember it is only two nights of camping, you don’t need much.
  • Do I really have to sleep in a tent?
    Have to? You mean get to! There are no other options at BASE CAMP and you’re gonna love it.
  • What if I don’t have a tent?
    You can work all of that out with your Camp Leads. Borrowing is your friend!
  • What if we’ve never camped before?
    Awesome. You’re in for a great time. Your Campsite Leads will help to make sure you’re prepared and it will be a breeze. Remember, it’s only two nights. You’ve got this.
  • What if we don’t know anybody?
    Totally fine. There are going to be plenty of new folks to meet. And if you and your spouse just want some alone time, there will be space for that, too.
  • What should we bring?
    Once you’re signed up, you’ll get a packing list.
  • What if my spouse or I are pregnant?
    CONGRATS! And you’re definitely still welcome to come. Use your best judgment on whether or not mama really wants to sleep on the ground, and how far along you guys will be in your pregnancy. And please, please talk to your doctor ahead of time. We’ll have volunteer medics on-site, but not a midwife.
  • What if I am a nursing Mom?
    There is a place to pump (Boobie Barn) although we don’t have facilities to refrigerate there is electricity for your pump. Please bring a cooler for liquid gold or be prepared to pump and dump.
  • What if it rains? Or snows?
    Being in nature is a lot like being married. You don’t get to choose the good times. If it gets a little damp or cold, we’ll lean in and make the best of it.
  • Will there be restroom facilities?
    Yep, there are 435 acres of land. Just like God intended. We’ll also have some super clean porta-potties for less adventurous folks.
  • What’s the electricity situation?
    There is none. We’ll be off the grid. Don’t bring anything that needs electricity.
  • No cell phones?
    No cell phones. We promise it’ll feel like freedom.
  • What if there’s an emergency at home?
    We’ll have a system in place for folks to reach you in the case of an emergency. If you need to leave, we’ll help make that happen.
  • What if I still don’t feel good about going?
    No worries. Camping isn’t everyone’s jam and that is totally cool. But keep in mind, stretching outside of your comfort zone is super important to growth.
