Activity Release
I also give permission for my child to participate in all Base Camp activities, including but not limited to hiking, climbing & water activities. He is physically and mentally able to do so and agrees to abide by all camp rules and safety guidelines.
Transportation
Transportation to camp will be coordinated by trip leaders. YM are expected to respect their adult leaders at all times. Leaders will make every effort to ensure the safety and comfort of each camper. However, parents are expected to be available to arrange the transport of their son home in the event of an illness, emergency, or if he is asked to leave camp.
COVID
All adults participating as leaders on the trips should be vaccinated or provide proof of a negative test before departure.
This policy is subject to change at any point based on the current COVID situation. All major changes to this policy will be communicated.
RESPECT
Boys are expected to appreciate their surroundings and to help keep nature a beautiful place to be. They are to be respectful, courteous and obedient to not only campers but to leaders and staff who volunteer their time, talents and energy to insure the safety, well-being and enjoyment of all campers.

The guidelines in “For the Strength of Youth” pamphlet are the standard at camp.
