LAKEVIEW CAMP RULES

(PLEASE COPY FOR EACH CAMPER AND/OR PARENTS PRIOR TO RETREAT)

 

• Lakeview is a Christian camp and all rules are to help us in our conduct, which will reflect Christ in all that we do.
• Please respect all camp properties just as you would the church you attend.  We ask you to assist in keeping the grounds clean of trash.  Cans are provided camp wide to contain debris.  Leave bunks, mattresses and pianos in their position.
• Items not permitted: illegal drugs, alcohol, knives, ANY form of tobacco, guns, skateboards, fireworks, radios and tape players (unless used by program personnel), anything detrimental to the intended atmosphere.  Such items will be confiscated and returned at departure.
• If equipment is damaged, your group will be held responsible and the deposit will reflect an amount deducted sufficient to replace the equipment, or a bill submitted to your group. 
• The Health Department approves the lake for swimming only when a camp lifeguard is present.  A lifeguard must be present, and life jackets worn while a camper is in any boat or lake activity.  A lifeguard must be present at all times while using the pool.
• Campers and Sponsors must NOT LEAVE the campgrounds without permission from the camp director.  Insurance coverage stops at the gate.
• After unloading your VEHICLE, plan to park it in designated parking until reloading time.  If use of vehicle becomes necessary, no riding on the outside of vehicle is permitted whatsoever.
• Please report to your camp director any problems, such as plumbing or electrical failures or any damage to building as soon as they are noticed.
• Playing with SHAVING CREAM or water balloons is not allowed except at a supervised time in a designated area well away from the buildings.  A group doing such in or near enough a building to cause damage, will face a monetary charge to be deducted from your deposit.
• MEALS must be taken in the dining hall unless otherwise prearranged with the camp.  Please see that visitors pay for their meals in the dining hall.  No food is allowed in the dorms or rooms.
• For you convenience, we leave Ping-Pong paddles, volleyballs and basketballs by each court.  Use them when you want, but please put them back when you are finished.  Please do not take them home with you; be considerate.
• For routine FIRST AID treatment, come to the first aid station with sponsor, or to the Manager's home.

All of the above rules are designed to provide a Christian atmosphere to promote a healthy environment, and to provide for the respect of the camp and facilities.  Please see to it that all campers are aware of these rules before your session begins.
