Frequently Asked Questions

Food at Roundup

All full-meal registered participants eat at Tadmor. The meals are fixed by a professional chef and are a true highlight of the weekend. No portion is too small and it must be experienced to be believed. Of course, many men choose to prepare their own meals and extend their times of fellowship. We encourage this, but the camp food is beyond belief.

Weather

Weather at Tadmor during the first part of September has historically been beautiful with temperatures ranging from 50s at night to the mid 90s during the day with no rain and low humidity. However, we have been wet in the past! It is best to plan ahead for anything. Long-range forecasts up to a week in advance are generally correct. It’s best to check.

Sessions

Each session is approximately 2 to 2.5 hours long. A typical session includes 20-45 minutes of worship singing and entertainment led by our Men’s Roundup worship team or special musical guests, 10 minutes of announcements and other Roundup business, 45 minutes of exposition from the Word of God, and a 45-minute small-group discussion time. All sessions are held in our semi-outdoor Forum building which seats 1,000 men. Additional seating for 400 men comes behind the stage under a large tent referred to as the Forum Pad. Additional seating for the venue is outside of the Forum on a hillside with decent viewing of the stage area.

CPAP & Other Medical Needs

Handicapped accessibility

Some improvements have been made for those who are handicapped including pouring concrete pads from Jefferson Cabin to the dining hall, but the overall event is held throughout the wooded mountainside that is Camp Tadmor. Getting to and from breakout sessions, shooting sports, the forum, and the lake is all on gravel roads that are hilly.

If climbing into and out of wooden bunks, into a traditional bathroom stall or shower, and moving up to a mile per day on hilly gravel roads will be a hardship, you might consider talking with your church about bringing along a mode of transport such as a side-by-side or golf cart or getting personal assistance from them. Camp Tadmor and the Roundup Crew are not staffed for these types of accommodations.

Are Animals Allowed at Roundup?

Dogs, cats, and other pets are not allowed at Camp Tadmor or the Roundup Event. This includes emotional support animals.

Trained Medical Support Service dogs are allowed at the event.
