Dear Youth Pastor or Youth Worker:
I am truly excited about Barbourville Pentecostal Youth Camp 2024! I am excited to see how God uses the Camp this year to touch and move in the lives of young people. God has used the Barbourville Pentecostal Youth Camp to touch thousands of lives and set into motion a vast Pentecostal army to penetrate and destroy the evil plan of the enemy. Numerous influential Pentecostal leaders have walked the grounds of the Appalachian Children’s Home during Youth Camp and each year, lives of young people are forever changed. Who knows which camper will be the next powerful influence in today’s society?
The dates for Barbourville Pentecostal Youth Camp 2024 are Monday, June 17 through Friday, June 21, 2024. This year camp week will be the same as last year, we will not have service on Friday evening, and churches and campers will depart the grounds after the Morning Service on Friday.
Please review the information on this website.
It is imperative that you, as the leader, review, read, and become very familiar with all of the information for this year's camp. It is suggested you have regularly scheduled meetings with your youth group and youth workers to present and discuss all BPYC activities and policies. Please note several items and policies have changed. Pre-Registration ends Friday, May 31, 2024. DUE TO SPACE CONSTRAINTS, ALL CHURCHES AND PARTICIPANTS ARE REQUIRED TO PRE-REGISTER. If your church is interested in attending BPYC for the first time, please contact us at (859)-379-9613.
Participant Ages
In order to qualify as a camper, the student must be at least age 11 by the first day of camp and must not turn age 19 before the end of camp. Due to safety and liability concerns, absolutely no one under the age of 11 is allowed to attend.
If you are a counselor, you must be at least age 21. If you are not, and there are no other participants of age from your church, special permission must be given by the Camp Director for you to attend BPYC as a counselor. Volunteers must also receive special permission to attend from the amp director if under the age of 21. Please contact me (859)-379-9613 if you have any questions regarding participant ages.

Medical Care
All Churches should make sure all campers are healthy before traveling to BPYC 2024. Anyone showing symptoms of COVID will have to return to their home. BPYC does not provide health insurance. If a child becomes ill, the legal guardian(s) of the said camper will be responsible for any and all medical charges. Hospitals will be instructed to bill the insurance of the camp participant (if information is provided), of the injured/ill child. Likewise, adult participants will also be responsible for all medical charges incurred as a result of an injury or illness. BPYC will have medical staff on duty at all times during camp, which will be able to provide basic care for minor illnesses and injuries. The medical staff will also maintain all medical prescriptions for all camp participants. All medicines (prescribed and over-the-counter) must be submitted to the Camp Nurse during Registration. It is the responsibility of the participant to take all medicines as prescribed. Please note any dietary or activity restrictions on the participant's Medical Registration Form.
Youth Camp Fees
There is a non-refundable church deposit fee of $100.00 for each church registering campers. Please make all checks, preferably issued by your church, payable to Barbourville Pentecostal Youth Camp.
The total fee for camper participation is $145.00. The pre-registration fee of $95.00 must be submitted with camper registration by May 31, 2024. This $95.00 is non-refundable; however, it is transferable to another camper if the original camper is unable to attend. The remaining $50.00 is due upon registration/BPYC check-in. Pre-Registration ends on Friday May 31, 2024. Pre-Registration packets must be postmarked by this date to receive the discounted rates. The camper registration fee will increase to $155.00 on June 1, 2024.
There is a $40.00 registration fee for Volunteers to cover the cost of food and various expenses. This non-refundable, non-transferable fee must be submitted with the completed adult registration form.
There is not a registration fee for counselors or staff. The camper to counselor ratio is 10:1 (ten campers per one counselor).
A registering church who plans to send campers, but is unable to provide counselors, must attempt to make prior arrangements with another participating church having counselors, and partner with them. If a church who has partnered with another church wants to maintain their own church number and identity during camp participation, they may do so; however, the campers are under the supervision and the authority of the partnering church's counselors. If your church does not have a male or female counselor, please contact me at (859)-379-9613 , as these arrangements must be made prior to BPYC Registration.
Any additions to your church’s pre-registration participant count must be approved by the camp director prior to coming to BPYC. All additional registrants will be placed on a waiting list, due to space constraints, and is not guaranteed participation in BPYC. Should space be available to house additional participants, there is a possibility they may not be placed with their church in the dorms/barracks.
Cell Phone Policy

The BPYC Staff reserves the right to amend this policy at any time. Counselors also reserve the right to limit cell phone usage beyond this policy.
