4 DRESS CODE & DISCIPLINE POLICY For Campers and Their Parents/Guardians We want every camper to experience all that God has for them this week. Therefore, campers will be expected to 1. Engage fully with the planned activities. Engage fully with the planned activities. Stay with your group unless you have been excused by your counselor, and always stay on the campgrounds within the sight of the other campers. Bring your Bible to the main sessions, and anticipate that God will speak to you. This week is to unplug, so please don t bring any electronics except, perhaps, your cell phone to be used when your counselor gives permission for music*, personal photos and videos, and your bible app. Watching streamed or downloaded movies/tv/video content at camp is not allowed. 2. Be considerate of others and the camp. You don t want to tempt others unnecessarily, so follow the guidelines for storing personal money and valuables, and dress modestly. We will have to ask you to change any clothes that are too short, revealing, or suggestive, or have logos that are inappropriate. Clean up after yourself in the cabins and bath houses, and help out when asked in cleaning up the cabins and nearby grounds. Even when playing, try not to hurt others or damage property. Bullying will not be tolerated. 3. Refrain from behaviors considered unhealthy or dangerous. Tobacco, alcohol, drugs and medications (not given to the nurse to dispense) are forbidden. Knives, fireworks, or other items that can obviously hurt people should not be brought on campus. Once you have arrived, you are not to operate a motorized vehicle on the campground. Only enter the lake or use the water equipment under camp supervision. Report any accident, illness, or concern to your counselor. They are there to help you, and they can send you to the nurse or camp leadership. In order to ensure a camp environment that is safe and allows each camper the best experience possible, all campers are expected to abide by these guidelines. Camp staff will address issues in an encouraging and instructive way, and corporal punishment will never be used. If a camper is not complying with these policies, they ll receive a verbal warning. Subsequent failure to comply will result in loss of privileges. Ongoing challenge to authority will result in the intervention of the camp director, who may then include the camper s youth leader and/or parent/guardian in finding a resolution. Rock Solid Camps reserves the right to send campers home, at their own expense, if they are unable to comply with the camp policies and submit to the authority of camp staff in a responsive way.
