Q: Tell me about the Early Bird?
A: The Early Bird promotion period will run from Sunday 25 January till Saturday 28 February 2026. The rates for this year’s camp are THE SAME as those for last year, i.e. 2025!
You don’t want to miss this offer.

Q: What happens after Early Bird?
A: Starting Sunday 1 March 2026, there will no longer be any Early Bird promotion and the new pricing could go up as high as 20% on the promo / Early Bird rates.

Q: When is the closing date to register?
A: Closing date for all camp registrations will be Saturday 28 March 2026.

Q: Can I register first, and make payment later?
A: Yes you can. This will help us anticipate the number of participants for SMAGLOW 2025. However, please ensure payment is done by Saturday 28 March 2026.

Q: How can I pay?
A: Bank transfer would be the preferred payment method. Just email us your banking/payment slip. Details are below:

Bank: Standard Chartered Bank Malaysia Berhad
Acct Name: St Mary’s Cathedral
Acct No: 312-1-4233469-1
Description: Please include SMAGLOW + Name of Camper
E.g.: SMAGLOWSuaranSingh
You can email your banking/payment slip to [email protected]

Q: Can I pay via cash?
A: Yes you can, just approach any of our camp reps but online transfer is preferred.

Q: Can I register and pay for my roommate / someone else?
A: Yes you can, please inform the other person that you have done it on their behalf so they don’t register/pay for themselves.

Q: Can I make an anonymous donation to someone’s camp fees?
A: Most definitely! Just inform our camp reps. You can see their names and pic above. There is also a Donation checkbox in the camp form.

Q: What is the deal with the camp T-shirts?
A: For the camp this year, there will be T-shirts for everyone…yay!

Q: Could I choose to opt-out or seek a reduction in the camp fees if I decide not to take the T-shirt(s)?
A: Actually no, this option is not on the menu. The T-shirts are sponsored separately and do not form part of the camp fees. In other words, the camp fees will NOT be used to cover the cost of the T-shirts…and it also means opting-out would not change the camp fees in any case.
Bottomline: you might as well pick a size and flaunt your Sma(glow)ness.

Q: How do I pick my size? And I am also signing up for many room mates / other campers…it is stressful!
A: Fear Not Fret Not! Pick the size you think would be the closest to the fit required and submit the form.
You can always see your congregation rep to change the size or clarify on the measurements later. Unlike the Ten Commandments, your T-shirt submission shan’t be cast in stone (well, not this round at least).

Q: Can I choose my own roommate?
A: Yes you can.

Q: I am coming alone and do not have a roommate. Will you assign me a roommate?
A: Yes we will help to assign, however to ensure everyone is comfortable with your roommates, we would strongly encourage you to identify someone. You can update the name in the form later.

Q: Can I request for my elderly parents to be staying near me?
A: Yes you can. Please indicate in the form.

Q: Can I room with my friend / relative of the opposite gender?
A: Only if he/she is your father/brother/mother/sister. If it’s anyone else, we will help make an appointment for you to discuss this with the pastoral team 🙂

Q: What if I wanted a room to myself?
A: You can indicate it when you submit the form and a camp representative will be in touch. However, do understand that the availability is limited, so we cannot make any promises!

Q: What is the itinerary for the weekend?
A: We haven’t finalised the itinerary yet, but trust assured, we will share it once it’s completed. You can expect it to be somewhat kind of sort of similar to the one from last year.

Q: Will there be free time?
A: Yes, there will certainly be free time during the camp. We aim to strike a fair balance in the various activities - thus take it as pray, eat, rest, repeat. 😀

Q: Can I come for a daytrip? Are you allowing daytrippers?
A: No, we do not encourage daytrippers. You will miss out on some of the sessions, discussions and fellowship.

Q: Will there be nap time for my children? They are still young and can get very cranky without their nap time.
A: There will be free time for the children as well. We are making arrangements so that parents who need to tend to little ones can still follow the talks virtually. More updates closer towards the camp weekend.

Q: What activities will you have for children?
A: We have an exciting line up for children of all various ages. So don’t worry, more updates closer towards the camp weekend.

Q: Can I change my electives later even if I have submitted my form?
A: Yes you can, but depending if we have space for your newly selected elective.

Q: How far is the venue from the Church?
A: According to Google, and depending which route you choose to take, the campsite is at most 102km away from church and will take an estimated 1 hour and 25 mins to get there.

Q: I have dietary needs. Who should I speak to about this?
A: We will cater to the most common dietary expectations with some options for vegetarians. Realistically, it won't be possible for us to cater to every dietary needs or expectations. You are most welcome to bring along your snacks / foods that are suitable to you, provided it is permitted in the Camp premises.

Q: I need help getting there as I do not have my own transport. What do I do?
A: Similar to the camps of years gone by, we will provide assistance for those needing transportation. This can either be by way of carpooling with others or by bus that the Church will arrange for our fellow campers. Do indicate in the form that you need transport and our Transport Troops will grease the wheels closer to camp time.
