Staff Rules & Expectations
At Camp NO’s for Staff, Volunteers & Campers

These are the serious behaviors that we never want to see at camp, and if they happen the result is most often dismissal from camp.

Substance Use: Possession, use, or distribution of drugs, alcohol, marijuana/THC and/or tobacco is strictly prohibited.
Bullying, Harassment, and Aggression: Name-calling, racial slurs, fighting, and bullying are strictly prohibited.
Physical Harm: Hitting, shoving, pushing, or being mean to others is not allowed
Theft of camp or others’ belongings
Destruction of Property: Damaging or destroying camp property is a serious violation.
Weapons: Bringing weapons to camp is not permitted
Public Nudity: No displays of public nudity at any time.
Sexual Behavior: No spying, watching or recording others while changing or in the bathroom, touching others’ private areas, exposing yourself, or viewing pornography.

Expectations for those while serving at camp:

Any inappropriate behavior that jeopardizes the experience, well being, or safety of yourself or others will be an immediate conversation with a director and possible dismissal from camp.

Be a Positive Role Model

Make smart and Godly choices. Honor Him with your actions. Encourage one another to do the same.
Participate in activities with enthusiasm and keep a good attitude. Don’t complain or argue and provide feedback to leaders privately, after the activity.
Maintain appropriate dress. No cleavage or butt showing. No speedos, bikini tops or bikini bottoms. One piece or sports bra style and swim shorts okay.
Maintain appropriate, kind, and loving speech and avoid profane or vulgar language. Avoid jokes about illegal activities, suicide, sexual behaviors, abuse or minorities.
Outside of camp, continue to live a life that honors God, with all you do and say.
Maintain relationships of emotional, spiritual and physical integrity that glorify God.

Be a Humble Servant

Have a love for others and concern for their spiritual, physical, and emotional needs. Maintain a positive and loving attitude towards them, even when they are challenging.
Be proactive and be looking for ways to help. Have a servant's heart demonstrated by a willingness to work hard at whatever you do.
Take guidance and direction from others with humility.

Be a Healthy Member of the Community

Be present with one another, intentionally build relationships and maintain team unity and inclusion.
Keep cell phones stored away and off. No phone calls. Leadership/core staff may use them as tools.
Resolve conflict and seek forgiveness. Be a peacemaker, never gossip or talk badly about others.
Maintain appropriate, observable, 1 on 1 interactions during regular activity hours. Use public areas like porches, lawns, lounge etc. for 1 on 1 conversations and no 1 on 1 interactions should ever occur during “lights out” hours.
Maintain respectful and appropriate physical touch. Be respectful of others’ personal space and comfort.
Take care of your body. Get enough sleep, drink enough water, eat nourishing food, shower regularly, brush teeth often and apply deodorant daily.

Be a Safe Member of the Community

Communicate with the camp’s leadership about any problems or concerns with campers or staff. Report to camp leadership any perceived threats or abuse of children.
Communicate where you will be. Stay in groups when traveling around camp property and make sure to let someone else know where you are or where you will be. Never leave camp property without express permission from a director.
Respect staff & work areas. No loitering in the kitchen - only be in the kitchen when working. Use Bobcat for staff breaks – the bathrooms are public for anyone to use.
Avoid any compromising situations that could lead to a question about your intentions or the camp’s reputation– physically, verbally, and emotionally.
No visitors allowed. Visiting friends, alumni and family are not permitted during camps, unless permission is provided by a director. If you ever see an unknown visitor arriving at camp, please notify a director immediately.
Follow all vehicle safety rules. Staff are not to drive their cars during camp events, unless given permission from a director. Never jump onto or off a moving vehicle. Lawn mowers can be driven by staff over 15 years of age, with director permission. Golf carts can be driven by staff over 18 years of age, with director permission. Camp truck can be driven on property with no passengers by staff over 18 years of age, with director permission. Motorcycles and snowmobiles can only be driven by full time staff only, no others. Camp trucks and vans can be operated off property by individuals 25 years of age or older, with director permission.
