drop off & pickup instructions
Drop Off
Camp Arrival
Time: 2026 Drop Off Times
Address: 10425 Veterans Memorial Parkway, LaFayette, AL 36862
Look for the flags along the highway. When you arrive, you will be directed to the right. After checking in, you will receive an information card with everything you need to know. Our team will help direct you to the appropriate parking lot.
Once you park, someone will be there to help you unload and take you to your cabin. After you meet the counselors, get settled, and say your goodbyes, head to Manna to drop off any medication for your child, or return to your car.
Pickup
Goodbye, Campers!
Time:2026 Pickup Times
Address: 10425 Veterans Memorial Parkway, LaFayette, AL 36862
Our staff will be at the Manna Deck with your campers for our closing celebration. When you arrive, you will be directed to the appropriate parking area.
The celebration will include a slideshow, highlight video, a brief talk, and time to break into groups to hear from your counselors. We will also have refreshments available for you to grab on your way in or out.
If someone other than you will be picking up your camper, please let us know by emailing info@marannook.org. Please ask them to bring a photo ID for pick-up.
We will also send a reminder email with pick-up procedures the day before you arrive to pick up your camper.
Luggage Pickup
During pick-up, your camper’s luggage will be labeled and placed in a large bag, ready for you to collect as you exit the parking lot. This helps ensure all of their belongings are kept together in one place. Staff will be in the parking area to assist with loading luggage into your vehicle.
Campers sometimes misplace items during the week, so please take a moment to check the lost and found at Manna before you leave. Also, please be sure to pick up the correct luggage when departing.
Dress Code & Packing List
Please review the dress code and packing list linked below for everything your camper will need to bring to camp. If your camper brings a water gun, please make sure it is clearly labeled with their first and last name.
We also ask that campers bring a small backpack or drawstring bag with their name on it.
If possible, we recommend that your camper arrive at camp already wearing their swimsuit. If you are traveling from farther away, there will be time to change once you arrive.
Late Night Activities
We will have a few late-night activities, including a luau, disco night, and neon night, that we would love for your camper to dress up for!
Swim Test
To pass the swim test, campers must be able to swim the full length of the pool and then tread water for 30 seconds. After the test, campers will receive a bracelet that helps our staff easily identify their swimming level.
Only a small section of our pool is considered the deep end. Campers who do not pass the swim test will still have plenty of space to swim in the shallow end, and they will still be able to use the slide.
If you have a girl camper, please make sure she brings a one-piece swimsuit. For our Jr. High camps, we ask that girls (both campers and staff) wear shorts over their swimsuits, since many of our water activities involve movement where extra coverage will be more comfortable.
Health Policies & Packing Meds
All medications, including over-the-counter medications, must be provided in a pharmacy-issued blister pack. If a blister pack is not available for a specific medication, it must be brought in its original container with written instructions.
All medications must be turned in to the camp nurse upon arrival.
Bunk Mates
Cabins are arranged by age and gender. Each cabin has two rooms, and the campers in both rooms spend the day together—traveling to activities, eating meals, worshiping, and participating in many camp events as a group. This means that even if your friend is in the room next door, you will still spend plenty of time together.
We do our best to accommodate one mutual cabin request per camper, but each room can only hold eight campers.
Camp is a great place not only to spend time with friends you already know, but also to make new ones!
Mail is a special part of the camp experience—and the best part is that it’s free to send! Please bring letters with you on arrival day and label each one with the day it should be delivered and your camper’s first and last name. Write as if you know what they’re doing each day—encourage them, ask about their adventures, share a favorite camp memory, or let them know you’re praying for them.
To help prevent homesickness, please avoid phrases like “we really miss you,” “the dog misses you,” or “we can’t wait until you’re home.” We also ask that you do not send large packages, gifts, or food. Daily mail must be no larger than a 9×12 envelope.
We’re also excited to use the Campanion app to make sending letters even easier. Through the app’s Letters feature, you can email your camper each day. If you haven’t already, download the app and sign in using your CampInTouch email address and password. We’ll also upload handwritten responses from your camper so you can read them directly in the app.
Communication at Camp
Camp is designed to give campers a chance to disconnect and grow spiritually, physically, mentally, and emotionally. Because of this, we do not communicate with parents on a daily basis. However, we will post photos on social media so you can keep up with what’s happening at camp. If you need to contact your camper, please call our office at 334-864-7504. If we need to contact you for any reason, we will call the primary phone numbers listed on your camper’s profile.
