Our summer camp, retreat, education, and mission trip experiences depend on a commitment to live in an intentional Christian community by the participants and the adult volunteers. To do so, we agree to a covenant that helps manage our relationships with one another, our behavior within the community, and as a community. We require all participants to read and agree to our Community Covenant below.
The Region practices “Two Deep Leadership” to ensure the safety of all participants. I will not wander away from the camp, small group, cabin group, or the total group without permission from a counselor.
I will participate fully in all activities.
I will be respectful to all persons and the camp environment at all times.
I understand that the adults are present for my safety and questions about life and faith. They are responsible for upholding the Region’s policies and boundaries and those of the camp facilities. I will respect and trust the adults.
I will respect the personal items of other participants (children, youth, and adults) and respect the personal space and another person’s physical autonomy.
I will only bring food to camp if authorized by the Associate Regional Minister due to my health requirements.
Accidents happen. I understand that my family could be held financially responsible for any repairs needed to the property due to my actions.
I understand and accept that if I am found with or participate in any of the following, I could be sent home from summer camp, a retreat, an education trip, or a mission trip experience at my family’s expense. I also understand that being sent home may limit or disqualify my participation in summer camp, retreats, education trips, or mission trips in the future.
I will not bring weaponry(knives, firearms, etc) to camp.
I will not bring or consume illegal drugs, alcohol, or tobacco of any sort.
I will not steal from anyone.
I will not physically harm another camper or adult.
I will not participate in sexual activity of any kind.
If I behave consistently in a way that disrespects the adult, other campers, or the facility, that does not reflect the grace and love that is expected of persons who claim Christian faith.
Summer Camp is a Cell Phone Free Zone for campers. Cell phones, internet hotspots, electronic entertainment devices, game devices, or devices capable of connecting to cell towers often detract from the camp experience. Youth bringing these items to camp are required to check-in the items on the open day of camp. If I am found to have any of these items after the opening day of camp, I understand and accept that I may be sent home.
Parents: I/We understand that the camping experience grows in intensity as the week progresses. I/We recognize that missing any part of the week compromises my child’s experience of an intentional Christian community and affects both my child and the camp community. We know that the demands outside this camp event may conflict with the commitment to spend a week apart in Christian camping, and I/We have chosen to have our child spend a week at camp uninterrupted. Thus, I/We agree not to text or call my/our child/youth during the week of camp.
Camper: I look forward to spending time in community with those who share my interest in exploring Christian faith and the practice of Christianity as we play, pray, study, worship, and serve one another following the example of Jesus.
