    • As a worker at the Saint Malo Catholic Camps, you are a witness of Christ to all who come through our doors. The Board of Directors who are responsible for these camps ask that you submit in love to the rules and regulations outlined by the Saint Malo Catholic Camps. The rules and regulations are in place in order to ensure an enriching environment for campers, volunteers, and staff.

      Upon acceptance as a staff or volunteer member of the Saint Malo Catholic Camps, you will be required to undergo a Child Abuse Registry check, and complete the Safe Church Environment training by the Archdiocese of Saint Boniface. Any staff members 18 years of age or older will also be required to submit a valid criminal record check. Counselor Training week and Camp Wrap-up is mandatory for all staff and volunteers.

      Exceptions must be approved by the Camp Director. Successful candidates will be contacted to inform of acceptance into the SMCC program, at which point you will be invited to commit to the weeks assigned to you and to sign a formal contract. Once the contract is signed, we expect that you will make yourself available for all the weeks you have committed to, except in situations of extenuating circumstances.

      18.2.1 – Be a practicing Catholic. Catholic, acceptance of the fundamental teachings of the Church, attending weekly liturgy.

      18.2.2– Obey the law as responsible citizens. For example, this precludes the use of marijuana and drugs for non-medical purposes, disrespecting or borrowing without permission the property of others, and disregard for the rules of the road when driving. 

      18.2.3– Obey the highest command: to love God and one another.  Love for God is to fear and obey him willingly.  To love one another as defined in God’s Word includes “doing to others what you would have them do to you” (Matthew 7:12), avoiding favoritism or prejudice (James 2:8-9), and putting the needs and interests of others ahead of one’s own (Philippians 2:3-4).

      Policy 18.3 – INAPPROPRIATE CONDUCT
      Recognizing that a position of ministry carries with it responsibility for appropriate behavior, the Catholic School of Evangelization outlines here what it considers unacceptable behavior:

      18.3.1– Romantic Relationships - A team member will not initiate a romantic relationship or have any intimate physical contact such as fondling and kissing with a fellow team member, camper and/or anyone else the team member meets while serving at camp.

      This includes harassment: A team member will not in such a manner as to cause discomfort or humiliation or both: 1) make comments of a sexual nature, 2) make sexually explicit statements, stories, jokes, etc., 3) make unwelcome physical contact. (Jn. 13:34-35; Rom.12:9-21; Eph.4:31) 

      18.3.3– All forms of dishonesty– Including cheating and stealing (Prov. 12:22; Col. 3:9; Eph. 4:28) A team member will not steal anything from a fellow team member, campers, or the CSE.

      18.3.4– Refrain from other practices which are condemned by God - A team member will not have any involvement with the occult (Acts 19:19; Gal. 5:19) or abuse alcohol/drugs (Eph. 5:18). Unless for valid reasons, approved by the person in authority, alcoholic beverages are unacceptable at the CSE.

      18.3.5– Belligerence - A team member will not act in such a way as to be blatantly and consistently hostile and uncooperative, this includes slander(gossip) and swearing or use of profane language (Eph 4:29,5:4; Jas 3:1-12)
