We invite our campers and staff to “unplug” during camp, to keep our minds present and our focus on building community with each other. We encourage you to bring only those things that will help us connect with one another here at camp, and we hope that you’ll consider leaving your devices at home. If you do decide to bring a cell phone, we only allow limited access to it. We take it up at registration and keep it in folder with your name on it, and you may use them for a defined time during free time each afternoon. You’ll get full access to your cell phones at the end of camp on Saturday.

We suggest you bring a camera if you’d like to take pictures. You may use your cell phone at the designated time during free time to take pictures as well.

Unfortunately, due to their remote location, Camp Caney has no public wifi available.

Each cabin has 2-3 adults and 6-8 campers. We don’t pre-assign cabins and they are first-come, first-serve at registration. Rest assured that we will do what we can to make you comfortable at camp!

Camp Caney, where CCE is held, is affiliated with and supported by the United Methodist Church. BUT CCE is an ecumenical camp — all denominations, faiths, etc. are welcome here. If you don’t attend a church regularly or you aren’t sure about what you believe (or if you believe) about God, this is a safe place to question and to explore. It is our hope that you experience the love of God through Christian community at CCE.

Not at all. No dress clothes are required or even encouraged for camp. Some people choose to dress up for our Friday night worship service, but many of us wear regular camp clothes. We want you to be comfortable in the heat of summer!

We generally discourage leaving camp for any reason because your absence is felt and may disrupt community. Please contact one of the CCE directors with questions or concerns.

We generally discourage visitors because it may disrupt community. Parents are encouraged to drop off their campers at the beginning of camp and are allowed to come for closing worship on Saturday morning. Please contact one of the CCE directors with questions or concerns.

Though you don’t have to swim in the lake for free time, we often have afternoon games that include water. We strongly encourage you to bring a swimsuit or clothes that will be comfortable while you wear them wet.

Please make a note of your dietary needs on your CCE registration and contact one of the CCE directors with questions or concerns.

Please make a note of your medications on your CCE registration. We generally ask that campers take care of their own medications, but we have staff that can be of help in special circumstances.

Please contact one of the CCE directors with questions or concerns.

Please make a note of your allergies on your CCE registration and contact one of the CCE directors with questions or concerns.

Yes. Camp Caney’s buildings are accessible by ADA standards. However, because Caney has lots of hills to navigate, please contact one of the CCE directors if you use a wheelchair or have accessibility concerns, and we will do what we can to enable you so that your experience at Caney will be a good one.
