GUIDELINES & PROHIBITIONS
SUMMER CAMP: MICHIGAN ((2013))
PROHIBITIONS:
NO ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES, WEAPONS, ILLEGAL DRUGS, WATER GUNS or FIREWORKS ARE
PERMITTED. NO EXCEPTIONS.
ELECTRONIC DEVICES & OTHER:
Radios, iPods, Game Stations, etc. will only be permitted in route to Ohio & Michigan. These devices
will not be allowed on campus for use. If you are caught using electronic devices at anytime other than
free time or during our commute we will take them from you! Take them at your own risk.
Cell phones are allowed but restricted to free time only. *Please do not plan to use these during
worship or group times!
Skateboards and rollerblades are not allowed.
OTHER GUIDELINES:
No PDA - In other words, no public displays of affection. No holding hands, no sitting on laps, and no
kissing! However, you can show God all the affection you desire! Also, no guys in girls' cabins and vise
versa!
No lone rangers - Don’t wander off by yourself. We use the buddy system. Please let your cabin leader
or chaperones know where you are at all times. Stay in groups or pairs. Bears like snacks, not buffets.
No anti-participation allowed - Your parents paid their hard-earned money for you to spend a week
with God. It’s hard for everyone if you decide that you’ll not be participating for the day. Only
exception is if you are commode-hugging sick (in which case, we should be aware of).
No pranks - I know how funny they are. Believe me; I have had my fair share of them. However, we
want to create an atmosphere where God can move in our lives. Freezing someone’s underwear can
drastically interrupt our purpose.
