FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

REGISTRATION FAQ:

So there’s a minimum age?
Yes! You must be 18 or older to join the adventure.

Can I get a refund? Or transfer to another camp/year/person?
We keep it simple—registrations are final. No refunds, transfers, or reschedules. Make sure you’re all-in before signing up.

What if I’m pregnant?
Congratulations, mama! You’re totally welcome at camp—lots of pregnant women have made the trip. Just use your judgment on sleeping in a tent and hiking around. We’ll have volunteer medics on-site, but no midwife.

Is there a place to pump?
You bet! We’ve set up a small area for nursing moms who need to pump. Just know—it’s pump-and-dump unless you bring your own cooler. There’s no electricity. This is real-deal, off-the-grid camping.

I have a service dog. Can I bring them?
Possibly! Please email us at womancamp@crossroads.net before you register so we can make sure camp is the right fit.

I’ve got a health or physical concern. Can I still come?
Maybe. This is primitive camping—think uneven ground, no electricity, lots of walking. If you’re unsure whether it’s a good idea, reach out to us at womancamp@crossroads.net and we’ll talk it through.

Can I gift a registration to a friend?
Absolutely! During registration, choose the type you want to gift and click the “Send as Gift” button. Enter your email, pay, and... wait! One more step. After you get your confirmation email, follow the instructions to send the gift, including writing a personal note. Then follow up to make sure your friend got it and registered.

CAMP FAQ:

Where is Woman Camp and how do I get there?
We’ll be camping at Base Camp: 420 Neville-Penn Schoolhouse Road, Felicity, OH 45120. Your Campsite Host will coordinate carpooling (aim for 2 cars per group—parking is tight). Check-in starts at 2pm, and your Host will help your group land on an arrival time.

Can I come and go during the weekend? Or just come for a day?
This is a full-weekend, fully immersive experience. Once you’re checked in, you’re in—unless there’s a true emergency. No late arrivals or partial stays.

How are campsites organized? What if I don’t know anyone?
Campsites are made up of 6–10 women and led by a Campsite Host. You can register with friends or be placed in a group. Many women come solo and leave with lifelong friends—so don’t let “not knowing anyone” hold you back!

What if I’ve never camped before?
You’ll be in good company. Many of us are first-timers. We’ll provide a packing list and tips, and your Host will help you prep. You’ll learn by doing—and feel amazing afterward.

Will there be alcohol?
Yes, but it’s not the focus. Think: relaxed, not rowdy.

How will I get more camp details?
After registration closes in August, your Campsite Host will email you with all the info—introductions, carpool planning, packing tips, and anything else you’ll need to feel ready. As we get closer to Woman Camp weekend, the Woman Camp team will also send you an email with some other helpful information.

Do I need to bring a tent and gear?
Yes, but you don’t have to go it alone. Gear isn’t included, but many women borrow or share. Don’t be afraid to ask friends, family, or browse garage sales or the Marketplace. Your Host can help figure it out once your group is assigned.

What are the bathroom and water situations?
Expect classic port-a-potties—no showers, no sinks. Just you and nature. We do have drinking water on-site, so bring a vessel to fill and use at your campsite.

Do I need to be in good physical condition to do this?
You’ll need to carry your gear on foot which is up to a 20-minute walk from your car. Pack light and get creative: wagons, rolling coolers, even strollers work to get your gear in. Trust your gut—if the hike feels like too much, maybe wait until next year or consider another Crossroads experience.

Is there electricity or cell service? What if there’s an emergency?
Nope—this is fully unplugged. And while it might feel weird at first, it’ll likely be your favorite part. We’ll have medics on site and an emergency contact system in place. Your family can reach you if something real comes up (not finding the remote doesn’t count).

Have other questions not addressed above?
Email us at womancamp@crossroads.net OR wait until you get assigned a Campsite Host. Thanks!
