Camp Rules and Policies
We want each camper to have a positive experience and receive the full advantage of
camp. Because there are many of us living together this week, we must follow certain
rules for each to benefit. Each camper is expected to obey ALL the rules.
Participation
1. All campers will participate in all scheduled activities.
2. Follow the Golden rule– Treat others how you want them to treat you.
Safety and Security
1. Rooms are off limits at all times to campers of the opposite sex.
2. Each camper may only enter his/her own room.
3. Campers are not to leave the campgrounds without permission of the Camp
Director. Even if your family should come for you due to some emergency, you
must inform the Camp Director before leaving camp.
4. Campers are to use the buddy system at all times and inform their Cabin Leaders.
5. Please report any sickness or injury to your cabin leader or the camp nurse.
Property Protection
1. Each camper is responsible for his/her own belongings. It is imperative that no
camper get into anyone else’s belongings.
2. Report “lost” items to your Cabin Leader.
3. Campers will pay for any property or building damage they cause.
Clothing Requirements
1. Bring clothing that is cool, comfortable, and appropriate for church camp. Any
inappropriate attire will be brought to the attention of the camper and they will be
asked to change. Please watch logos on t-shirts. Girls cannot wear spaghetti
straps at camp.
2. Shoes must be worn at all times during recreation activities. Please have an old
pair of tennis shoes or water shoes for recreation activities where they could get
wet or muddy. NO FLIP FLOPS for Recreation Activities. NO EXCEPTION.
3. One piece swim suits only for girls allowed at camp.
4. Do not bring electronics to camp. Ipods, hand held games, etc. are to be left at
home.
5. Cell phones are allowed but will be collected when we arrive at camp and return
for the drive home.

PARENTS: we are so excited to see your child at camp this summer. We know the last year has been something
that leaves adults wondering about a lot of things in the “new normal.” I know kids are picking up on our
concerns, and they have concerns of their own too. This summer, we are using every part of the CentriKid
experience to point kids towards God. My hope is that every camper comes away with a fresh understanding of
how BIG God is, and that He desires a personal relationship.
This Parent Packet will help with the details of getting ready for camp, but please pray for your camper right now --
and mark your calendar to pray continually while camp is happening. God is at work, and I’m praying for the time
at camp to be special.
Thanks again!
