REGISTRATION FAQ
Here are some of the most frequently asked questions as it relates to registration.
Deposit
A $25 non-refundable deposit is required at registration. This represents our promise to save you a space to attend (and turn away others) in exchange for your promise to come.
Payments
Payment options include full payment, deposit with remaining balance due prior/at the retreat, or deposit and remaining balance paid in monthly installments prior to the retreat. To minimize registration/payment lines while at camp, we’re encouraging payment in full before arrival via credit/debit cards or e-check (ACH direct payments). Cash or check payment are also welcome upon your arrival.
Scholarships
Cancellations
Out of care for everyone during this time of coronavirus pandemic uncertainty, the non-refundable deposit policy (i.e. “We’ll save you a spot and turn others away if you promise to come”) has been temporarily suspended for coronavirus related cancellations. PLEASE stay home if you are experiencing any Covid-19 symptoms for a full refund. You will also receive a full refund should the retreat be cancelled altogether.
Accommodations
Housing is assigned on a first come first served basis for your preferred housing location. The housing location options are Pleiades, Emmental, Aspen, Heidi or Jungfrau. Emmental will be use only when Pleiades and Upper Aspen are filled.
Pleiades/Emmental have two single beds per room and linens (bedding & towels) are provided.
Chalets utilize an area bathhouse and linens are not included. Please bring your own or you can rent them from Camp for $10.

Where can I learn more about my stay at RMMC (i.e. accommodations, altitude, creation care).
-
Please visit the "Reservation Guide" page of the website for "YOUR STAY WITH US", "MOUNTAIN LIVING" & "CREATION CARE" information.
What foodservice is offered? Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?
Camp is pleased to offer a great selection of food choices which include a main dish option, vegetarian option, salad (lunch & supper), and dessert (lunch & supper). Cold beverages (water, orange, apple, grape, crabapple) and hot beverages (coffee, tea, hot chocolate) are also provided.
As much as possible, the camp will accommodate dietary restrictions. An option will be given to list all of your dietary restrictions during registration. We cannot accommodate dietary preferences.
RMMC is not a peanut/nut free location since we serve a variety of campers and guest groups utilizing their own kitchen facilities.
Do you have to be Mennonite to attend camp?
While teachings during the retreat are Bible-based and from a Mennonite perspective, campers of all faiths are respected and welcome to attend.
