Oklahoma District Church of the Nazarene, Nazarene Youth International Camps at Camp Bond

OK District NYI Camp Director: Reverend Avarilla Anfuso

Student/Adult Registration Form & Sponsor Requirements

In order to provide a safe atmosphere for camp, all churches MUST have adult sponsors for their students (male sponsors for male students & female sponsors for female students). All sponsors MUST have a background check form turned in by the registration deadline date. Background checks should be administered by the local church.

The deadline to submit student forms, adult forms, and payment is indicated on the current announcements. Any registrations received after this date will result in the student/adult paying an additional charge for camp.

If you have any questions about camp, please contact the director at (405) 625-1363 or send an email using the "Send Email" link at the top of this page.

Be in prayer with us as we anticipate the Holy Spirit transforming the lives of students!
