Frequently Asked Questions

How to Register Your Group

Before you begin:

  • New users: If you do not already have an account, you will need to create one before proceeding.
  • Returning users: If you have attended a previous OKAG NextGen event at Camp Cargill and already have an account, please do not create a new account. Simply log in using your existing credentials.

How to Submit Your Camp Requests

  1. Log in to your Coordinator Portal and select "Add Event" under the "Group Hold Events" section.
  2. Select your first-choice camp. From the Select Session dropdown menu, choose your group's first-preferred camp.
  3. Select the appropriate program. Under Select Program, choose the category that applies to the individuals you are registering (Male Campers, Female Campers, Male Volunteers, or Female Volunteers).
  4. Enter the number of spots needed. In the # of Holds field, enter the total number of spots requested for the selected category.
  5. Important: check the "Paying in Full" box.
  6. List your alternate camp preferences. In the Notes section, enter your second and third choice camps in order of preference. While we will make every effort to accommodate your first choice, placement in your preferred camp is not guaranteed. If we are unable to place your group in your first-choice camp, we will contact you directly regarding an alternative.
  7. Select your contact. Choose the appropriate contact from the dropdown menu, then click "Save/Next" to continue.
  8. Repeat for each applicable category. You must submit a separate hold for each category of campers and volunteers in your group. For example, if your group includes male and female campers, as well as male and female volunteers, you will need to create a separate hold for each of the four categories.

Group Coordinator Information

Viewing Your Group

Once inside your portal, you will see a “Group Holds” box on the left-hand side.

  • Click the three-person icon next to each spot type to see which staff and campers have been added to your group. If a camper is listed in your portal, they have been added to your group, and this means we have received their medical form.
  • Note: a volunteer staff member appearing in your portal does not necessarily mean their requirements are complete. Please communicate with your volunteers regularly to ensure they complete their requirements by the appropriate deadlines.

Volunteer Staff Application

Before you begin:

  • New users: If you do not already have an account, you will need to create one before proceeding.
  • Returning users: If you have attended a previous OKAG NextGen event at Camp Cargill and already have an account, please do not create a new account. Simply log in using your existing credentials.

Step 1 – Volunteer Application

  1. Click on the Volunteer Application Link: Available November 4
  2. Sign in or create a new user account.
  3. Follow the prompts to complete the Volunteer Application.
  4. Provide the names and emails of the Character and Church Leader references. (The system will not allow them to finish their application without entering their references.) Note: We do not accept references that a spouse or family member has submitted.

Step 2 – Join Your Group Medical Form


After completing Step 1, the applicant must be added to your group.

  1. Click on the Medical Form Link: Available November 4
  2. Log in using your account credentials.
  3. Enter the group code provided by your Group Coordinator to join the group.
  4. Complete the medical form.

Step 3 – Ministry Safe Requirements


After completing the steps above, volunteers will receive two separate emails from Ministry Safe to complete:

  1. A background check
  2. Sexual Abuse Awareness Training

These certifications lapse every two years. Depending on when they were last completed, the Volunteer may or may not receive both links.


Ministry Safe links are processed individually through the OKAG Network team, so delivery times may vary.


Camper Registration Process

Step 1 – Parent Registration


Complete the Registration Here: Available November 4


For first-time campers, parents will:

  1. Create an account or log in to an existing account.
  2. Follow the registration prompts.
  3. Add one or more students to your group using the group code.

For returning campers, parents will:

  1. Log in to an existing account.
  2. Select “Update Info” for each child attending.
  3. Review each section and update any information that has changed.
  4. Return to the home page and select “Register New” for each child attending.
  5. Add one or more students to your group using the group code.

In this new process, parents CANNOT register their child in your group without providing medical information. This means that if a student's name is listed in your coordinator portal, we DO have their completed medical form.

Medication

Collect and organize all student medication from your group. All medication sent from home, prescription and over the counter, including natural/homeopathic methods and essential oils, must be turned in to our camp nurse’s office at check-in. The best way to do this is for each student to have a Ziploc bag with his/her name and your Church City and Church Name clearly written on it. This will help our nurses organize medicine for hundreds of campers in a timely manner. You can then place all the Ziploc bags from your group inside a larger bag or container for easy transportation to camp and back home. All medication must be in the original bottle or packaging to be turned in to the nurse. We cannot accept or administer any medication not in its original bottle, packaging, or past expiration date.

Dietary Needs

If your staff or student has a dietary restriction or allergy, please email nextgen@okag.org. We may be able to make accommodations for gluten-free or gluten-sensitive diets if known three weeks before Camp. At on-site registration in the Rock, please let the camp staff know. We may not be able to accommodate other restrictions. Those who have restrictions are more than welcome to bring their own food. We have a fridge and microwave in the Dining Center to store and heat their food. It is the responsibility of the coach or student to prepare any of these stored foods.
