Frequently Asked Questions

Curious about what life is like at New Life Ranch? Or have a question you're trying to find an answer to? You've come to the right place!

Will my camper be able to go to the canteen?

No, we do not open the canteen for Day Campers.

Is lunch provided?

Yes! We offer lunch each day, as well as snacks. We also offer a Food Alergy & Special Diet plan (see Day Camp Guide to Camp.)

Is there a shuttle option?

We offer a Day Camp shuttle for campers from Northwest Arkansas to Flint Valley Day Camp. We pick up at Ozark Center Pointe Place in Springdale at 7:45am each morning, and we drop off at 4:40pm. The cost is $70 per camper.

What’s included in the cost?

Retreat cost includes cabin-style lodging, all-you-can-eat meals, meeting spaces, and access to basic recreational activities. A non-refundable deposit is required to secure your dates. The remaining balance is due after your event once final numbers are secured. Additional costs include premium activities and private motel-style lodging.

Will someone help us plan our retreat schedule? Do you offer retreat planning resources or templates?

Yes! Our Retreats Team is here to support you every step of the way. We can provide sample schedules, planning templates, and personalized help to craft a retreat experience that fits your goals and flow.

How do I book a retreat?

Booking a retreat is easy! Simply fill out our retreat inquiry form on the website or give us a call. Our reservations manager will contact you to confirm availability, answer your questions, and guide you through the next steps.

Can my dog run with me during the race?

No. You will not be permitted onto the grounds with a dog or other pet.

When/where do I pick up my bib/race packet?

Packet pickup will be at New Life Ranch 9:00am – 7:00pm on Friday, April 11th, and starting at 7:00am on Race Day (Saturday, April 12th). Gates will not open until 7:30am.

How early should I arrive?

It is strongly recommended that you arrive at least 30 minutes before your race start time to allow for parking and packet pickup. If you are registering the morning of the race, arrive 45 minutes before your start time.

Can I register on the day of the race?

Yes! Please arrive at least 45 minutes prior to your race start time to allow for parking and registration.

How do I apply for a scholarship?

Start your Summer Programs registration, and when you reach the Camper Profile form (or the “Additional Information” form for Family Camps, Horse Camps, and Winter Camps) there will be a question that asks, Would finances keep your camper from being able to attend camp? If so, would you like to apply for a need based scholarship? If you say “yes”, you will be asked four additional questions. See the Summer Camp Guide to Camp for more scholarship information.

Can I choose which camp to send my camper to?

No. Each camp will have programming and staff specifically designed for their respective age groups. All registrations go through the same system, regardless of which camp you are registering for (Flint Valley or Frontier Cove).The system will give you the appropriate options based on your child’s upcoming Fall grade level.

How will check-in and pick-up work if I have campers at both camps?

We have spaced check-in’s at each camp so you should have time to drop-off each camper. If you have multiple campers drop off your youngest camper first.
