Family Camp is organized by staffing the camp with the parents who attend. Because of this, we are able to make the fees lower than if we had to pay for staff. However, we also have to organize Camp after people register, but before Camp begins. So, in order to encourage you to register early enough to allow us to organize everything, we have stepped prices, with discounts for paying early. We ask that everyone not only register before the deadlines, but also pay before the deadlines, because: (1) When you have paid, we know that we can count on your coming, and (2) We need to have money before Camp to pay for equipment and expenses that come before Camp.
Schedule of Deadlines
These deadlines are independent of which session of Camp you attend.
- May 31: Pay by this deadline because the fees rise the following day.
- June 30:
- Pay by this day if you missed the last one, because the fees rise again the next day.
- We spend money or make commitments we cannot change by this date. Up to June 30, we will issue a full refund. Any cancellations after this date will receive no refund. This policy is the same for all sessions of Camp.
- Let us know if you are changing weeks.
Donations for Families in Need
If you would like to sponsor a family or families in need to help them come to Family Camp, we encourage you to either make a donation of any amount through the payments page of the registration system, or directly sponsor someone you know by contacting the Registrar. Donations will be kept anonymous. Unfortunately, this is not tax-deductible.
Paying by Check
If you would like to pay by check, write it to "Pocono Family Ministries" and mail it to:
Shehaqua Registration

Weeks 1 and 2
For additional information on registration policies or fees please review the policies page.
There is a special discount for people who are staying for both weeks. They do not need to pay the weekend price. However, please register for the weekend.
You can potentially save HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS by registering early. To get the early bird discounts, you must have completely paid for all attending members of your family by the end of the month.
