Can I get a refund after I register?
Mother + Daughter Camp does not provide refunds or transfers, once a ticket has been purchased. Please consider this risk and commitment before registering.
Can I take all of my daughters?
Yes, but only one at a time. Mother + Daughter Camp is designed for one-on-one time with you and your daughter. Trust us, you will love the quality time spent together, and be thankful for this opportunity to bond and connect.
Can a mother figure take my daughter?
Yes. ABSOLUTELY. We think of Mother as a Verb, not a noun. There will be additional documents to sign for both the parents and/or legal guardian and mother figure, but we welcome any important mother in the child's life.
How old does my daughter need to be?
Your daughter must be in 2nd - 12th grade (ages 7-18).
What if I don't go to Crossroads?
Great! You’re in the right place. There will be other mothers + daughters from around the region and country that don’t attend Crossroads. You are welcome here.
This sounds perfect. Where can I drop my daughter off?
Great question. To be clear: This is not a “drop your daughter off” camp, nor is it a day-time camp. It is an overnight camp experience for both mother + daughter.
Camp
Where is Mother + Daughter Camp?
The address for base camp is 420 Neville-Penn Schoolhouse Road, Felicity OH, 45120. Allow for 5-10 extra minutes of travel time to arrive at check in. Once you enter the gates it is time to slow down. Roll down the windows. Pop your head out the sunroof. Prepare to enjoy rolling hills, small ponds, some fields, woods and gorgeous views.
When can I arrive?
We are excited to offer Friday night programming this year. You may arrive between 4:30-6:30pm. Upon arrival, you will meet your group (in your cars), and drive to your camping location together, set up camp, get settled and connect around the campfire prior to our night of fun. Carpooling is always recommended.
How long is Mother + Daughter Camp?
Camp runs from arrival on Friday night (4:30-6:30pm) until Sunday around noon.
What if I come after arrival time or leave early? Is there flexibility to come and go?
Unfortunately, we’d love for you to stay for the duration of the weekend. Once we’re at camp, we’re there to stay—unless there’s an unforeseen emergency. If an emergency occurs, we will assist in any way possible.
What if there’s an emergency at home while I’m gone?
We’ll email a phone number the week of camp, so you have a way for your family to reach you (and you them) if there’s a serious family emergency.
What if we have never camped before?
No problem. Mother + Daughter Camp is all about getting outside of your comfort zone. We’re here to challenge and encourage you, while showing your daughter how to be brave, bold and try new things!
What do I need to bring?
Once you’re signed up, we’ll send you a full list. But the short version is: one duffel bag and one backpack, filled with camping gear, a chair, dry clothes and food.
Do I have to carry in all my gear?
We know as mothers there is a lot to do in getting ready to go camping. Not only for this camping trip, but at home and work. We want to bless you and your daughter with a gift. Mother + Daughter Camp is a drive-in camping experience.
What is a drive-in camping at Mother + Daughter Camp?
Vehicles will be parked along the gravel road. There will be two camping areas. Your car will be parked along the road, with the ability to camp behind your cars, in your cars (if you campsite decides to camp there) or carry your gear to a desired camping area. In some cases, vehicles may need to park up to ¼ mile from your tent. Be prepared to carry or haul your stuff to your campsite. Once you park for the weekend, your vehicle will need to remain parked until the end of camp...there is no coming and going at will.
What do I need to know about driving in?
We want you to carpool if possible. When you arrive on property the speed limit is 5 mph. You will be meeting your campsite in your cars, check in and drive to your campsite together. Camp is about slowing down and that starts at the gate. SERIOUSLY, SLOW DOWN.
How do I know where my campsite is located?
You will drive in together. There will be a Campsite Meet Up Parking Area at the front of camp. Once everyone arrives you will be able to drive back to your campsite. This will allow for easier check in. If you can consolidate into less vehicles, that will help with parking and allow you to park closer.
What if it rains?
Then we’ll probably get wet and muddy, but the memories made will be worth it all.
Is it true? No cell phones?
Very true. And even if it sounds painful, it’s probably going to become a huge gift. The hospitality tent is alway willing to take pictures and send them directly to your phone. Some volunteers will have cameras or their phones (communication tool for logistics), just grab them and ask to have a picture taken!
How are campsites organized?
Campsites are groups of 6-10 mothers/daughters led by a Campsite Host. We attempt to group by your daughter's age and geographic location. Regardless of who you end up with, there’s plenty of time to mingle—and Mother + Daughter Camp is all about your relationship with your daughter. We want you to remember that your daughter is the most important person to be grouped with!
Can I camp with friends?
Absolutely. Designate a campsite host, create a group and start inviting. The idea is to create space to connect with your daughter. We know community is important but make sure this doesn’t let you lose sight of the fact that you are coming with the MOST IMPORTANT PERSON. This isn’t Mom camp (one of the reasons there is Woman Camp).
How will I get more details about camp?
We will send out a few emails starting in May 2025. Your Campsite Host will connect with you directly via email. They’ll invite mother/daughter pairs to your campsite to meet up before Camp—and 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. Feel free to email motherdaughtercamp@crossroads.net at any time.
Do I really have to sleep in a tent?
A tent, hammocks, under the stars, overlander or car. Make sure to discuss with your campsite but you want to be close to your campsite. But before you write off tent-sleeping as too challenging, consider it’s only two nights! This is designed to be a glamping experience. It is about simply spending quality time with your daughter. You can bring a pillow and sleeping pad for extra padding, and it’s probably not as bad as you’re imagining. Besides, wouldn’t it feel good to try something new? We believe in you!
What if I don’t have a tent?
Fear not! Once you get assigned to a campsite, you can work through that scenario. Women can share, borrow, and figure out solutions. Can’t pitch a tent? No worries. Ask if we have people that would love to help.
Will there be food provided?
Plan on bringing what you need for all your meals and snacks except for lunch on Saturday. This is a picnic date with your daughter. Bring a blanket and something to make it feel special. Your campsite host will have more information before camp and discuss meal planning.
Do we need to bring our own water?
There is water on site so bring something to fill up and dispense from at your campsite. Some find it helpful to bring some additional water of their own. Or an empty gallon to fill and bring back to your campsite. Water Monsters aren’t always super close.
Will there be bathrooms?
We will have the most average (and clean) port-a-potties that money can rent. Please be aware that there are no handwashing stations or showers.
Is there a place for my trash?
Yes, there are large dumpsters onsite, but please bring some trash bags to collect your trash in. Side note: burning logs do not go in the dumpster, or on the wood pile. Yes, there’s a story or two behind that request.
Can I bring a pet?
Humans only please. Exceptions for service animals. Email motherdaughtercamp@crossroads.net to discuss.
