Please read this covenant carefully so you understand Westminster Presbyterian Church policies.
By signing at the bottom, you’ll be agreeing to respect yourself, your peers, your leaders and those
with whom you come in contact, as well as to commit to being safe while on this trip.

I am aware that my actions affect people other than just me. I agree to obey all local laws and ordinances
pertaining to use of drugs and alcohol by minors. I will not bring or use any weapons, illegal substance, juuls,
or vape pens during the trip.
 I want to stay focused on the people and experiences during our time together. Because of this, I will leave
my cell phone or other electronic devices at home. If I choose to bring them, I understand that I will be asked
to hand them over to an adult leader until the conclusion of the trip, and I will risk theft or loss. I understand
that my parents will be given instructions on how to contact my adult leaders in case I need to be reached.
I agree that this trip is a group experience. Because of this, I will do my best to build community, create
relationships, be welcoming and include others. I agree to treat everyone – leaders, staff, and other students
with the utmost respect.
I realize that there are adults in my life and on the trip who care about my well-being—plus, I want to be
safe; so I agree to stay within the designated boundaries, follow rules at all sites, stay in groups of three or
more, respect privacy and personal spaces (sleeping rooms, restrooms and showers), and refrain from using
cell phone and cameras in these areas due to privacy concerns.
It matters how I treat people’s things, so I agree that I will respect the property of all participants and the
housing site where we stay. My actions will show my love for Jesus and others. I will keep my mind on the
purpose of the trip (to have fun, show love, learn, and building community) and my job of representing Jesus
and Westminster Presbyterian Church.
I understand that if I violate this covenant, my parent/guardian may be asked to come and get me
immediately at their own expense

                    I agree to follow all the above expectations because I want
                    to be safe, love others and represent Jesus well at all times.
