Parents, we’re excited to host your youth for NYC 23! In order to help everyone have a safe and fun experience, please make sure you show this document to your youth so they understand what is expected of them at NYC 23.
CODE OF CONDUCT
While attending NYC 23, I will respect:
- PEOPLE — I can honor God with how I treat others. I’ll show respect to everyone around me, including staff, leaders, volunteers, and other youth. This includes what I do and what I say. I’ll listen when others are speaking, and I’ll show gratitude for what others do for me.
- PROPERTY — Being allowed to use what belongs to others is a privilege. I’ll take care of all facilities, vehicles, and properties. I will leave every location better than I found it.
- MYSELF — I am responsible for the decisions I make. I’ll be a positive role model to others around me, obey all rules and instructions, and make wise choices.
While attending NYC 23, I won’t be:
- A BULLY — Being mean or hurtful to others is wrong — everyone should feel safe and welcome wherever I am. I won’t intimidate anyone, hurt anyone through my actions or words, be aggressive or violent, or make anyone feel left out. If I see bullying, I’ll report it a leader immediately.
- NEGATIVE — Our words should be used to build others up — not tear them down. I won’t gossip or talk about other people in a mean way, or say anything that could hurt someone.
- CARELESS — Going to camp and doing activities is fun, but it comes with responsibility. I’ll make sure I don’t put myself or others in danger, or take risks that could get someone hurt.
