Falls Creek Youth Camp
Overview
Falls Creek is both a place and a thing. When Oklahoma Baptists hear the words, “Falls Creek,” they think of the summer camps held there. That is the “thing” most know as Falls Creek. But Falls Creek is also a place. It is a conference center that is maintained and used year-round for other camps and conferences. Those who live in the Davis area and work at the Conference Centers can assist with any logistical issues or questions you may have throughout the year.

Theme
Jesus.
This summer, we will challenge students to live a disciple-making lifestyle by practicing personal evangelism.
“This is good, and it pleases God our Savior, who wants everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all, a testimony at the proper time. For this I was appointed a herald, an apostle (I am telling the truth; I am not lying), and a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.”
1 Timothy 2:3-7
One thing matters. One thing lasts. One thing will truly change the culture. One answer. One difference. One provision. One way.
Jesus is all. Jesus is the statement. Jesus is enough.
Jesus FIRST.
We must all RESPOND to the Gospel & KNOW Jesus.
Jesus ONLY.
As believers, we must LEARN the Gospel.
Jesus NOW.
As believers, we must SPEAK the GOSPEL.
Jesus ALWAYS.
As believers, we must LIVE the GOSPEL.
Jesus. Period.

Frequently Asked Questions
BACKGROUND CHECKS
If a student turns 18 in the middle of camp, do we need to run a background check before camp?
Yes. In the instance that this happens, complete all needed background checks before leaving for camp.
Do we treat yellow flag and red flag offenses for students in the same manner as adults?
Yes. You will need to pre-screen your students requiring background checks in the same way you would for adult sponsors.
What are some background check companies I can use?
There are 4 suggestions in your Field Guide, they are:
Protect My Ministry (Plus Package)
www.protectmyministry.com | 888-319-5581
Ministry Safe
www.ministrysafe.com | 833-737-7233
Shield Checks
www.shieldscreening.com | 800-260-3738
Trak-1 Checks
www.trak-1.com | 800-600-8999
The important thing to remember in choosing your background check provider is making sure you are receiving a detailed criminal check (state, county, and national criminal background checks) and a check of the national sex offender registry.
BACKGROUND CHECK COMPLIANCE PRE-SCREENING
You may pre-screen your background check report forms to save time at onsite registration! Once you have secured your background check reports, take the following steps:
Step 1: Complete Online Orientation and Ministry Safe Camp Training
Step 2: Falls Creek Program Office verifies Ministry Safe Camp Training completion and sends your orientation code and a link to start pre-screening
Step 3: Enter information for adult leaders in your group, including yourself, to be pre-screened by the Falls Creek Youth Camp Program Office. Pre-screening can take place 2 weeks or more from your arrival to camp. Pre-screening verification is not guaranteed inside of the 2-week window.
Step 4: Receive your link to your upload adult leader background check reports for pre-screening in your Ministry Safe Portal.
Once complete, the program office will pre-screen and verify the background check reports and then will check them off in your camp registration.
Please note our office hours, Monday – Thursday, 7:30am – 5:30pm. Pre-screening will take place during those hours.
REGISTRATION
Can I add students up until leaving for camp even though my account must be created by May 5?
Yes! Coming to Falls Creek allows you to add students right up until you leave for camp. Creating an account by May 5 does not mean you must have all of your camper or adult information input by that date. Keep inviting and sign ‘em up! (NOTE: Make sure you have time to complete the necessary background checks for any student or adult 18 years of age or older.)
I created an account last year and cannot log back in. Why is that?
You must create a new account each year.
The registration system is saying I am a non-affiliated church, and we are. What can I do?
Try entering your zip code only and hitting search, when it finds a result use the drop-down arrow to see the full list.
Where can I find the release forms?
Forms can be found in your Field Guide or in your Digital Camp Kit (which can be found on the homepage of your registration account).
When do I have to pay my registration cost?
All registration fees are due Monday of your camp week. Check or cash only, please make checks payable to Oklahoma Baptists.
