CAMP RULES & IMPORTANT INFORMATION
WHO CAN COME:
- Senior Camp age limit is those between ages 12 and 18 years old.
- No UNREGISTERED campers or adults will be allowed on campground or in the dorms, day or night (except at service time) without the permission of the Camp Director.
- ALL campers/leaders must have the approval of their youth pastor/director to attend.
ARRIVAL/DEPARTURE IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
- Check-in will be Sunday prior to Senior Camp (so 06/09/2024) from 2-4PM. This means parents will need to drop off their students at River City no later than Sunday morning at 7:30AM so that we can leave at 8:30AM at the latest.
- Once we arrive on the campgrounds of the camp, campers will NOT be allowed to be off campus without the permission of both the Camp Director and their Youth Director.
- Senior Camp officially ends Friday night, 06/14/2024, after the evening service. This means Current Youth will leave to head back to Waco/River City Saturday morning, 06/15/2024, between 7 & 9AM. The trip is about 6 hours long, so parents should anticipate our return between 1 & 3PM that afternoon. We may stop to get a quick breakfast, but not for long before we get back on the road. Parents, please be sure to keep an eye on the Current Youth Parents Facebook page, as the Youth Director, Kristen Dees, will be posting any important updates and when Current Youth both arrrives at the camp and departs from the camp. If you have not been added to the Facebook group yet, please reach out to Kristen Dees via text and she will get you added.
FOOD/LODGING:
- The cost of camp for your student covers three full meals per day Monday - Friday while at camp. Upon arrival at check-in day on Sunday, the camp staff will have a light meal prepared for us available at no additional cost.
- There will be a concession stand open during the day between meals and after each evening service. If your student would like to purchase any additional snacks or drinks other than the meals already provided, they will be responsible for bringing and keeping up with their own extra money, as well as any personal items.
- No food will be allowed in the dorms unless approved by dorm supervisors. Our youth leaders staying in the dorms with the students will have extra water, electrolyte drinks, and snacks if students need while in the dorms, as approved by our dorm supervisors.
- IF your student has any allergies (i.e. food allergies), the details of the allergy(ies) MUST be specified in the above allotted area under medical information and communicated to the Youth Director so that all necessary precautions can be taken for the safety of your student(s).
DO'S AND DONT'S:
- CELL PHONES WILL BE ALLOWED, BUT NOT DURING SERVICE TIMES OR BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 10PM AND 7AM.
Current Youth leaders in each dorm will collect students' phones at 10PM each night, charge them, and give them back to the students by 7AM, so if you need/want to reach your student, you will be able to do so between the hours of 7AM and 10PM. Students' cellphones will be left in the dorms when we go to services, and students will be able to go back and get them after services. If for any reason they don't answer parents right away, it's because they are either in the middle of a service, activity, or sleeping. The Current Youth Leaders will have phones on them at all times, and the Current Youth Director, Kristen Dees, will give all parents/legal guardians her and all other leaders' contact info. We want students to be able to get a hold of and get closer to God while at camp, so by having these boundaries with phones, this both allows them to do so, and allows parents/legal guardians to be able to get a hold of their student if/when needed. Please be assured that both your students' spritual growth AND safety is our highest priority!
- All medication (prescription & over-the-counter) must be noted on this registration form in the allotted space above under medical information and submitted to the medical staff upon arrival at camp. Any medication NOT submitted to the medical staff will be confiscated.
