Camp Rules
-
There will be no use of items from the “what not to bring” list at any time.
All clothing should be modest. No: short-shorts, inappropriate logos, etc…
Shoes and cover-ups (shirts for boys) must be worn to and from the pool or lake.
Do not leave a meeting until it is over. (Use the restroom before an activity starts.)
The group will travel to many activities together. A camper may not wish to take part in an activity, but he/she
must stay with the group.
No camper should be in the cabin during scheduled activity times.
Any camper found on the hiking trails, archery course, challenge course, or at the lake without a counselor will be
sent home.
Remain in your cabin after lights out.
The bottom line is this: All campers are expected to cooperate with the decisions and leadership of all sponsors
and staff throughout the entire camp. The final authority on all matters at camp will be Lezah Maitland. Failure to
adhere to these rules may result in disciplinary work (picking up trash, etc.), removal of privileges or being sent
home.
