2024 Falls Creek Character Contract and Profile Form

The following is a contract that all students & parents must read, understand, agree to, and sign before participating in this summer’s 2024 Falls Creek Camp. In addition to the student’s signature, a parent or guardian must also read and sign the contract. By signing this contract each student is obliged to comply by the guidelines set forth by Falls Creek, Bro. Roger Dawson and the sponsors or will deal with the consequences assigned. The purpose for this contract is twofold. First, it provides a structure base or known expectations and secondly, it allows us as a Falls Creek community to move beyond behavioral issues to focusing on the message of Jesus Christ.

Please read all of the following guidelines and sign your student's name in agreement with the requested character conduct for Falls Creek 2024.

I (the undersigned in agreement with statement), do agree to follow the guidelines listed below, and in doing so make a commitment of character to the church, my family, my peers, and myself.

I will be respectful of myself, other students at camp, the sponsors, and the campground. 

I will be sensitive, caring, and aware of other’s needs, and respect their space and wishes.

I will be accepting of all other individuals even if they are different than me.

I will take responsibility for my own actions and learn from my mistakes so as not to repeat them unnecessarily.

I will not participate in, encourage, promote, or condone, in any manner illegal (fireworks, alcohol, drugs), unethical, or potentially harmful activities (vaping, vandalism) to myself or the campground.

I understand physical or verbal abuse towards other campers will not be tolerated period.

I understand that I will, in no way, be alone and out of sight with someone of the opposite sex.

I understand that proper attire is important and may be different for different situations. I will follow the Falls Creek guidelines for dress code.

I understand that while I am at camp the sponsors, youth leaders, and camp staff have my best interest in mind, and I will follow their lead beginning with the trip to camp through my return.

I will follow the schedule for the week doing my best to be where I am supposed to be when I am supposed to be there. I will also participate in all events that are scheduled for me.

I will keep my belongings in order and respect others by keeping my bunk area clean.

I understand the reason for camp is to focus on Jesus Christ, therefore I will leave all my electronic devices at home. I will NOT use my cell phone except as directed by the Student Ministry Cell Phone Policy (during allowed times, and for sanctioned purposes: calls and texts to family members during free time, and camera during activities).  Social Media use and listening to Music are prohibited while at camp.

I will have fun, but not at someone else’s expense; this includes pranks.

Knowing that the purpose for this camp is to provide teachings about Jesus Christ, I will commit to being open to God’s leading in my life this week.

I will not enter another cabin for any reason.

As a camper, I understand that I am required to be in a group of at least three as I move about the campgrounds. This is for my protection as well as my accountability during the week.

CONSEQUENCES

If I do not abide by these guidelines that I have committed to, I understand the consequences that follow:  I will be confronted about my actions and/or I will be given an appropriate type of discipline (which may include loss of free-time, extra chore duties, and more) and/or I will be sent home (at my parents’ expense).  I will also be financially responsible for any damage other than accidental damage.

I understand the guidelines that I am agreeing to and consequences if they are not followed.
