Camp is a community that stands for a lot of freedom in a wholesome, outdoor environment. Campers will depend on you to show the responsible way children and young adults live and think. Your actions will help set standards for their lives — for what kind of individuals they will be. It is no small responsibility.

The following camp policy statements should be clear and easily understood. Should you find it impossible to accept these policies, we ask you not to join our staff.

DRUGS: Possession or use of illegal drugs or misuse of prescription drugs is prohibited and is justification for immediate termination of employment.

ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES: Possession or use of alcoholic beverages is prohibited at camp or on camp trips and is justification for immediate termination of employment. It is expected that no staff member will return from time-off showing the effects of alcohol.

TOBACCO: Campers are not permitted to use tobacco products. We ask staff members to refrain from using tobacco products any time campers are present or could observe their use. Tobacco products must be stored securely by staff members.

OFFENSIVE LANGUAGE: Offensive language has no place at camp, and staff members must set a good example.

PERSONAL APPEARANCE: Living quarters, camp facilities and persons are to be kept reasonably clean and maintained. Each staff member is expected to maintain herself or himself in an acceptable manner.

DATING: Dating among staff members is possible during time-off periods. During camp co-ed activities, counselors are to maintain a professional relationship with other staff members and should not let their personal relationship be evident.

TIME-OFF & OTHER POLICIES: Time off and other staff information is available in the staff newsletters mailed prior to camp and/or in the staff manual handed out during staff training week.

Photo Release: I understand the camps will be photographing and videotaping the campers, staff and activities for promotional purposes during their time at camp. If I do not want the camps to use my likeness for promotional purposes I will notify the directors in writing prior to my arrival at camp.

Acknowledgement of risk and Release of Liability: Camp is en exciting and dynamic place that involves elements of risk and the possibility of personal injury. A separate RISK AND LIABILITY form will be mailed to you that will require your attention and signature. Please review it carefully and return it prior to your arrival to camp.

If, for any reason, including unsatisfactory performance of duties, employment is terminated by the camp before the stated end of the employment period, the staff member will be paid for the amount of time worked on a scale which is proportional to the entire salary. If a staff member quits before the end of the employment period, payment will be determined by the camp directors.
