Camper Expectations
1. Remember, any rules we put in place as directors are for the good and safety of you, other people at camp, and for the overall operation of the camp. We aren't here to make things difficult for you, we're here to create opportunities for you to meet Jesus in a special way that you can't get anywhere else. It's a special place, with special people, and the Lord has done AMAZING things here - we want that to happen for you, too.
2. Please turn in your car keys and cell phones to the directors to be locked up for this week. PLEASE don't try to sneak a phone. Your counselors will know, the directors will know, your parents will know - just don't make it a thing. Remember, Jesus is why we are here. You will get out of camp what you put into it; don't miss this opportunity. You will get both your keys and your cell phones back at check-out time on Friday. Calls can be made/received through a camp phone for emergencies as needed.
3. Your counselors are in charge. They have guidelines and rules they have to follow, too. Be respectful of them, and any other adults at camp. These adults love you and have made sacrifices in their own lives to be here with you - because they WANT to. Honor their devotion to you and Jesus.
4. Please keep track of your belongings while at camp, if anything is lost or stolen, it is not the camp's responsibility.
5. Please turn in any medications you need to the camp directors when you check-in for camp. Be responsible and take your medications daily (those of you who have prescriptions.)
6. Please do your best to keep every part of camp clean and taken care of. Treat buildings, equipment, and facilities with care so that we can keep it a great camp for years to come. Any damage done to the camp will be your (or your parents') responsibility.
7. Set your minds on things above. Be honorable in your speech and treatment of others. Try and get along, even when you're hot and tired. If you can't be kind, step away for awhile with your counselor's approval. All major issues will be directed to the camp directors.
8. Use common sense when dressing yourself for the day or for activities. If you're questioning whether it's appropriate or not, then just don't wear it. T-shirts are to be worn over swimsuits to and from the water slide, and over two-piece suits at all times.
9. Anything that is off-limits at school, is also off-limits here: No fighting, weapons, knives, smoking/vaping, drugs, alcohol, etc. Again, if you have to ask, just don't bring it.
10. Please, No PDA - You may "love" them, but that doesn't mean you need to touch them while at camp. Seriously, just keep your hands to yourselves - don't make it weird.
11. We all love a good prank, besides, they make the best camp memories. HOWEVER, pranks should never result in bodily injury or any kind of damage to property. If you think it might be going too far, then it probably is.
12. If you are leaving campus at ANY time, we need to know about it from a parent or church leader FIRST. You will have to check out, and then check back in, with camp administration.
If you can't stay within these expectations, you can be sent home.
