Foundations of our covenant for working together:

Rumors and unresolved issues can tear apart the people of God. Matthew 18:15-17 provides clear guidance about handling troubled feelings, disagreements, and misunderstandings. Will you agree to first talk with a person who has offended you, and to refrain from talking with others about the offense until you have worked through the problem in the proper Biblical steps?

Will you agree to welcome a person whom you may have offended who comes directly to you to resolve an issue, and if the issue is not resolved, to proceed through this Biblical process?

In the interest of Christian harmony at camp, will you agree to abstain from the use of alcohol, tobacco products, illegal drugs, and extra-marital sexual activity during the term of your employment at Camp Wightman?
