Note to parents: Parents who would like to write to their daughters during camp week should use this address: Name of daughter Name of church she is with Area GA/Acteen Camp PO Box 408 Leakey, TX 78873 Please do not ask your daughter to call home. Camp is only 5 days, and a phone call home often creates homesickness. Parents are also asked not to pick up their daughter during camp except in case of emergency or when prior arrangements have been made. Picking up campers during the week can create a difficult circumstance for the sponsor in charge of that group. The child must be checked out at the staff cabin before leaving camp. Feel free to contact Camp Staff if you need to give or receive information on your child. Do not call collect. The phone number is (830) 232-5271. All calls returned will be collect calls.

REQUIREMENTS: Sponsors: Churches must send one sponsor for each 10 girls attending camp. GA sponsors must be at least 18 years old, and Acteen sponsors must be at least 21 years old. All sponsors must bring the recommendation form printed on your church s letter head and signed by the pastor, chairman of the deacons, or someone in authority attesting to their character and capabilities as a sponsor. The form should also indicate that the church has in its possession the required back ground checks and trainings as specified on the registration form. Churches which do not have a sponsor for their girls or have only one or two girls attending should make arrangements to join with another church, sharing the sponsor fee. This year there will be no childcare provided unless you are a Bible study teacher and only during the Bible study time slot. Upon arrival at camp, a sponsor from your group must provide the camping fee for each group, an updated registration list (enclosed), completed health forms for each camper (this includes sponsors and small children), and the camper warning acknowledgement for each church, and the letter of recommendation from their pastor for each sponsor. Please separate these forms before arriving at camp. Sexual Abuse and Child Molestation Course: Every sponsor, by law, must have with them upon arrival the form signed by their pastor stating that they have in their possession a copy of your Sex Offender check, their Criminal background check, and the form acknowledging that the sponsor has completed and obtained a certificate of training from an approved Sexual Abuse and Child Molestation Awareness and Prevention Class.
Campers: Eligible campers include those from first grade through twelfth grade. (Campers grades are based on the grade they completed this school year.) Sponsors children must be under 5 years of age. Boys must be under the age of 4. All children who are not active GA s will be the sole responsibility of their mother. Health Forms: Each camper (includes sponsors) must turn in a completed health form. Campers under age 18 must have their health form signed by a parent or guardian, giving the camp staff permission to obtain medical attention for the camper in case of emergency. If the camper is allergic to any medications, these should be listed on the health form. A registered nurse will be at camp at all times. It would be wise for the SPONSOR to have latex gloves to wear in case a child is cut and bleeding; this is a safety precaution for all. Sponsors, be aware of any preexisting health condition of any of your girls that might endanger them or others. You may want to keep a copy of the health forms of your girls to refer to in case of an emergency. ****If a camper becomes sick, the camper must report to the nurse. A sponsor is not allowed to give a child even Tylenol. If the camper becomes ill during the service, they must be taken to the nurse s station not the cabin.
