Cell Phone Policy

Since this is such a short time for them to be together, we want to limit distractions and build meaningful connections. Because one of the biggest distractions a student has are devices, we will not be allowing phones or any devices on the bus or at camp. This means that any phone, iPad, tablet, or device with a screen that a student brings will be confiscated and returned to the student at the end of camp when we arrive back at church.

If you have any emergent reason to contact your child, or vice versa, our staff and leaders will all have their phones with them during the week. You can find our Student Ministry staff phone numbers and your child’s group leader’s phone numbers on the Contact tab of this page.

If you have any questions or would like more clarification, we would be glad to talk through this with you!

Community Covenant

The physical and emotional safety of our students is our highest priority.  The purpose of this Community Covenant is to establish behavioral expectations and ensure students, parents, and leaders all know the agreed upon consequences of a student not following those expectations.

Because of the potential dangers regarding an event of this nature, I understand the need to be responsible on this trip and follow these specific guidelines. I realize my actions may affect the safety and the community of this event.

Guidelines

  1. I understand that I need to abstain from public (or private) displays of affection if I am not married.
  2. I understand that I’m not allowed to leave the SHC campus, event locations, or host home without permission.
  3. I understand that I’m not allowed to POSSESS or USE tobacco, alcohol, or any other type of drugs.
  4. I understand that I’m not allowed to POSSESS or USE any weapon or fireworks.
  5. I understand that I’m not allowed to haze, harass, threaten, or intimidate another student.

Consequences for breaking guidelines:

1: This action will be confronted once, and activity time will be taken away if repeated.

2-5: These actions will result in being sent home immediately.
