Frequently Asked Questions

Can our church attend multiple sessions?

A church may send students to multiple sessions if there is space available. However, the Team Leader to Student requirement is required per session. The Team Leader to Student requirement is 1 male Team Leader per 1-10 male students and 1 female Team Leader per 1-10 female students. Students from the same church should be registered on the same church account regardless of which session they attend.

May we request that certain students room together?

The Super Summer Staff assigns students to dorms and rooms according to their gender, school color, and then church. For example, all Red School boys will be housed in dorm rooms in one section of the same dorm, Blue School boys together in another section, etc. Your students will be grouped together as much as possible. Students in different color schools will NOT be roomed together.

If I’m on Executive Staff, am I still required to send Team Leaders?

If you send students, you must send additional adults to serve as Team Leaders to meet the requirement mentioned above.

Will my student hold on to their medications?

Medications taken while at Super Summer must be indicated on the Medical Form. Medications should be submitted to the Super Summer Medical Staff immediately upon arrival (inhalers and epipens included but will be returned to student after check-in). Church/Group contacts will be responsible for dropping off and picking up student medications at check-in and check-out. If a medication is listed on the Medical Form but is not brought to check-in, students will be asked and parents will be called to confirm the student did not bring that medication with them. This process can significantly slow down the check-in process, so please indicate on the Medical Form which medications students will be bringing with them to Super Summer and indicate the exact time and dosage of medication(s) distributed.

Medications brought to Super Summer must be in their original containers. Please place all medications for your student in a ziploc bag labeled with your student’s name and church/group. The Super Summer Medical Clinic is stocked with over-the-counter medications such as ibuprofen, pepto, allergy medicines, etc. If you have any questions regarding medications or you need to make an edit on a Medical Form, please email registration[at]supersummer.com.
