Our research

WinShape’s overnight page describes one- and two-week experiences in North Georgia for campers who have completed grades 1–11, “designed just for boys or girls,” with Bible-based teaching. Mount Berry sits on the Berry College campus.

Day camps are a separate product: WinShape Camps for Communities takes a week to a host church for kids completing K5–5th, with campers sleeping at home. A Rome, GA host-church page (Pleasant Valley North Baptist) lists 8:15 a.m. drop-off and a family lunch at week’s end.

We do not invent a tuition number. The overnight site was advertising a 50% first-time overnight offer when we reviewed it; that is a promotion, not a list price. Confirm on camps.winshape.org.

Before you choose

Overnight is boys-only or girls-only, not coed cabins. Day camp is the coed, sleep-at-home product.

Confirm these details for your child’s exact session:

Eligible ages or grades, session dates, and whether a parent or church leader registers.
Total cost, additional fees, payment deadlines, and refund terms before paying a deposit.
Faith programming, daily schedule, and how the camp handles your child’s needs.

A detail worth knowing

Parents who want a coed overnight week will not get that at WinShape’s Mount Berry / Young Harris / Cleveland sleepaway. The coed product is day camp at a host church. Also: overnight is “completed grades 1–11,” so a rising 12th grader is outside the published camper band.
