Mechanical Issues
The Chapel strives to insure that all equipment in each dorm is in working order. In the event that you experience any difficulty with your dorm, please let us know promptly. We will make every reasonable effort to have the repairs made as soon as possible. NO REFUND OR REDUCTION in dorm fees will be made for mechanical failure of air conditioning, heating, refrigerator, freezer, or other appliances. Service requests received after 5 PM may not be handled until the following day.

Early Registration Policy

1. What is early registration?
Early registration is an opportunity for groups who are using our facilities this summer to make their reservation for the summer of 2010 before reservations are open to others.
2. When will I be able to do early registration?
You will be able to make reservations for 2010 while you are here at camp this summer.
3. What week will I be booking for 2010?
You will book the same corresponding week for 2010 that you have in 2009.
4. What size building will I be booking for 2010?
You will book the same size building. You may not be in the same exact dorm but you will be in the same size space.
5. What if I want to change the dates or building size?
If you need to change your week or if you need more space for 2010, you will not be able to do early registration. You will need to wait until the normal registration which begins on the Tuesday after Labor Day at 8:00am.
6. When will my deposit be due?
You will still pay for one-half the minimum number for whatever building size you book. The deposit will be collected in installments. If you do early registration you will pay an initial deposit once you return home. The specific date that the initial deposit is due will be given to you when you do early registration. The rest of your deposit will be due at a later date.
7. What if I decide to keep the same week but later decide to change weeks or building size?
You will need to wait until September 28 to make changes to early reservations. Keep in mind our policy about non-refundable deposits.
8. When will I receive additional information?
You will receive additional information while you are here for your camp this summer. We will give you the corresponding dates for 2010 and the dates and amounts for your deposit will be due.
9. Why are you making this change?
After years of consideration, Garden City Chapel is changing its reservation procedure beginning this year. We have made some adjustments in the past few years but have realized that we needed a more extensive overhaul. It is our desire to make the process less stressful and reward our returning churches.
