Rules and Regulations

Cell Phone Policy:

At youth camp, we want to allow God to get our attention, and that often means making sacrifices so that we can clearly hear His voice in order for us to remain engaged with others and with God. We ask that all leave their phones at home or that they turn their phones over to the Youth Director when they arrive at camp. The camp phone can be used with the direction of the Youth Director for emergency calls. Adults and Counselors are greatly encouraged to be discrete in using their phones on the grounds. Parents can call the camp (814-473-3470) and leave a message if there is no one by the phone to take the call.
