COMMUNITY COVENANTS (Expectations) -To ensure a safe and positive experience for all participants and staff, our Middle and High School Camps will abide by the Youth Community Covenants fo the Episcopal Diocese of Kansas. Please read with your student and click the box below.
The Episcopal Church’s unofficial mottos of “All are Welcome!” and “God loves you, no exceptions.” point us to the following standards towards which we strive:
· I will do my part to make this a welcoming and inclusive community.
· I will seek to build up myself, others, and our community in my actions and words, doing my best to ‘love my neighbor as myself.’ (Matthew 22:39)
· I will respect the person, property, feelings and beliefs of each member of our community and I will care for the property of this church with the understanding that it is God’s Place, made the way it is through the gifts of numerous people.
· I will actively participate in all parts of the event and do my best to have fun!
The following rule is non-negotiable, meaning if violated, you will be sent home from the event:
· I will not engage in any form of emotional or physical aggression toward any member of camp or camp staff. If I find my emotions running high, I will seek the help of an adult staff member who will support me in finding safe space where I can regain control until I decide with their support that I am ready to return to activities.
· I will not bring or use alcohol, tobacco, nicotine, e-cigarettes (includes: e-cigs, vapes, hookah-pens, etc.), illegal drugs, drug paraphernalia, fireworks, firearms or any kind of weapon.
