Grade ranges
Our 2025 Summer Camp dates are officially OPEN! Registration will close two weeks before camp check-in day or when the camp is full.
Registration Dates
4th & 5th grade camp - $225
6th-8th grade camp - $325
9th- 12th grad camp - $325
Registration Costs
You must pay the $50 deposit up front to secure your camper’s spot. Once this is paid, you can use a personal payment plan that fits your needs. All payments for camp must be PAID IN FULL 2 weeks before check-in. We accept Visa, Discover, and MasterCard and check. You can mail a check to: 244 Williams Drive, Kill Devil Hills, NC 27948.
Registration Fee requirements
If a conflict arises 30 days before your child’s camp we can provide a full refund, less the security deposit. However, if your cancellation is in less than 30 days prior to camp, and we cannot secure an alternate camper, we cannot guarantee a refund.
Cancellation policy
We understand that some 6th graders are young and may not be ready for the full week of camp with older students. However, 4th and 5th grade camp is a much smaller camp, meaning that space is limited. So you can make your request but the accommodation is a case by case basis, left to the discretion of the Camp Leadership Team.
Child placement
You can make a request, but assignments are not guaranteed. Our highest priority for our campers is safety. Therefore, we consider a number of factors when we are making assignments like the ratio of campers to counselors, the social dynamics in a cabin, first time campers, ect. We want every camper to have the best time possible at camp and do what we can to make things work. But we also ask for your camper to keep an open heart about their assignments, especially if they are a returning camper. Perhaps this year the Lord wants them to branch out, meet someone new, be friends with someone they wouldn't meet if they were with their usual friends. This is a great opportunity for growth by trusting Jesus with their placement! So you are free to ask and explain the request, but please understand that the placement will be left to the discernment of the camp leadership staff.

Campus leave
Camp Emmanuel is a DEVICE FREE CAMPUS.
We believe that our world is full of noise and chaos, this includes the activity on our smart phones and gaming devices. We want for all of our campers to have the opportunity to decompress from the over stimulation of devices, remove the temptations of disengaging, and INSTEAD, embrace the moment and be present with those the Lord has surrounded them with! We are intentional in planning a week for campers that is fun and deep! We want them to receive all that God has for them and none of it requires their phones!
DEVICE FREE CAMPUS
You will receive the contact information the Camp Director, Pastor and office. If there is an emergency, you can call those numbers and the staff will direct your information or get your camper in touch with you.
We know in a day and age of constant communication, it is so hard to imagine not being connected for a week, but we encourage you to trust the process! Our Tech Specialist will try to provide Facebook and Insta updates and we will certainly have your child touch base if there is a need.
When completing your child’s registration there is a place to note all allergies. Please fill this out completely. This information is shared with the nurses and the kitchen director, regarding all food allergies. The meals will be planned with food allergies in mind. There will be adjustments/ alternatives offered based on what is on file. If your child has any type of severe allergy, please contact the Camp Administrator at 252-441-6592 or campemmanuel@libertyobx.com.

Camp Emmanuel is available to outside churches and organizations whose mission is focused on teaching and applying the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We consider each group who books our facility a partner in ministry. Therefore, we ask you to review our mission and core beliefs to make sure your programming aligns with our mission to give people the opportunity to encounter and receive Jesus Christ, experience the heart of our heavenly Father, discover their identity in Christ and connect in right relationships through Word, worship, fellowship, and prayer.
How to Book
If Camp Emmanuel seems to be the right place for your ministry, click the “quote” button and select your desired dates and each building and amenity you would like to have for your camp or retreat. Please note that each of these items you reserve by the day. Along with the per day cost, each building has a cleaning fee. $35 for cabins, $50 for cottage, $75 bath house and $35 pavilion
Upon submitting your request, Camp Emmanuel will review your quote request. If your booking can be accommodated, a quote/itemized invoice will be submitted to you with a facility use agreement. At that point you have 2 weeks to submit your 10% security deposit and signed facility use agreement, which will guarantee your booking. Verbal confirmations do not serve as a guarantee to your request. After the 2 weeks, the requested dates are open for consideration for other requests.
Much like hotel pricing, there is a base price for our cabins for up to X amount of occupants. If you exceed the minimum occupancy base rate, we add an additional $30/ person a night.
Cabin 1 (Director’s Cabin) has a 2 person minimum with a base rate of $50/night and can sleep up to 5 people (max occupancy is $110/ night). One bunk bed is a full/ twin combo. 5th guest would have to double up on the full bed
Cabin 2-5 have a 4 person minimum with a base rate of $80/ night and can sleep up to 8 people (max occupancy will be $160/night+ cleaning fee).
Cabin 6-11 is a 5 person minimum with a base rate of $100/night and can sleep up to 10 people (max occupancy will be $200/night+ cleaning fee).
You can put less people than the minimum number of 4 or 5 in a cabin, but you will still be charged the base rate.
CABIN RATES
Camp Emmanuel has specified check-in time of 3 PM. Changes to this time MUST be requested and approved by the Camp Administrator and are not guaranteed.
Check-in: By the time you are on your way, we will be so stoked to see you. We will work with you ahead of time to make sure you can get going upon arrival. If you have not been on site beforehand, we will make sure you get a tour and answer any questions you may have about your reserved spaces.
We have keypads on all the cabin doors. Cabin codes will be provided upon payment. If paid in advance, we can issue key codes ahead of time by email. Otherwise, codes and keys will be provided upon arrival.
***Late Night Check ins: We know that the Outer Banks is usually a bit of a trek for most and that means at times there are late evening and night arrivals. Camp Emmanuel does have set office hours and appreciates that being kept in mind, but we will certainly work with you to make accommodations when and how we can. Please just notify us in advance.
CHECK-IN PROCESS
Check-out: Check out time is 11am, unless an alternate time has been arranged. We ask that you honor your check out time so we can make sure there is ample time for cleaning and maintenance before the next guests’ arrival.
You are responsible to leave all spaces you’ve used as you found them. Remove trash from all spaces, make sure you check for belongings in nooks and crannies, return furnishing to their assigned spaces and set air/ heat to the correct temperature.
As noted in the facility use agreement, you are responsible for the cost of repairs on damages.
