TRAIL RIDGE CAMP
~Statement of Faith~

We believe the Bible to be the inspired, infallible, authoritative Word of God.

We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons:
Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ,
in His virgin birth,
in His sinless life,
in His miracles,
in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood,
in His bodily resurrection,
in His ascension to the right hand of the Father,
and in His personal return to power and glory.

We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man,
regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling
the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.

We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost;
and they that are lost, unto the resurrection of damnation.
they that are saved unto the resurrection of life.
I agree with the Statement of Faith I just read.*

"I understand that being a staff member at Trail Ridge Camp means serving alongside the camp administration and other staff members as unto the Lord—respecting all camp rules and setting aside personal preferences in the interest of the campers. My primary goal will be to reflect the love and character of the Lord Jesus Christ to those I serve. I agree to uphold and support the camp’s dress code and conduct guidelines during my time at camp. I also give permission for Trail Ridge Camp to use photos, audio, and video footage that includes me for promotional purposes. In the event of a medical emergency, I understand that every effort will be made to contact an emergency contact once that information has been collected. If the contact cannot be reached, I authorize the physician selected by the camp director to hospitalize, treat, or arrange for injection, anesthesia, or surgery as necessary. I release Trail Ridge Camp from liability for any medical expenses incurred on my behalf and authorize the release of medical records needed for treatment, referral, billing, or insurance purposes. I affirm that the medical information I provide to the camp will be complete and accurate.”
