Parent Handbook (download)

Welcome

The purpose of the following guidelines are to inform both
parents and campers of expectations while at Living Waters
Bible Camp. Please take the time to read through this
booklet with your child. Registration:
Registration will be held from 2:00 - 3:00 p.m. Please do
not arrive before 2:00 as we will not be set up. If you are not
able to make it during this time, please call to make
arrangements.

Camp Fees:

Please bring the remainder of your camp fee with you to
registration. The camp fee covers all meals, class materials,
craft items, activities and awards. We now accept
MasterCard and Visa.

Store Money:

Campers may want to bring extra money to spend at the
camp store. For campers in 3rd - 8th grade we would ask
that they turn in their money at registration. This will be
their store account. Unused money from this account will be
returned at the end of the week.

Camp Store:

Items in the store include:
Clothing
Water Bottles
Stuffed Animals
Jewelry
Bibles
Books
Candy
Ice Cream
Snacks and much more.
2008 summer t-shirts will be on sale for $8 on the weekends.

Visitors:

Parents and friends are welcome to enjoy camp during
registration on Sunday and the special family breakfast on
Saturday. We are not able to accommodate visitors with
lodging at camp, but are happy to provide information on
local lodging.

Phone Calls:

Due to the full schedule that your child will have during the
week, we ask that you limit your calls to emergency only.
Consider sending your child an e-mail, a letter, or a fax.

E-mail & Mail:

We hand out mail Monday – Friday at lunch time. Anything
that comes over e-mail after 11:00 a.m. Friday your child will
not receive.

Camp Video and Pictures:

To keep camp memories alive all year long, we offer campers
the option of purchasing a camp DVD of their week. The cost
is $10 if ordered before or during registration. If you order
during or after camp the cost is $15.
Video and pictures will be taken during your child’s week of
camp. They may be used as we make the camp video, camp
display and brochures. If you prefer not to have your child’s
picture used, please notify the camp.

Special Parent/Family Breakfast:

A special breakfast and closing program will be held at the
end of your child’s week on Saturday morning. We need to
know how many will be there so please sign up at
registration. Donations for the camp are appreciated to
cover this expense. There is a contribution box mounted on
the wall in the Lodge hallway.

Health Insurance:

Your insurance is the primary carrier in case your child is
involved in an accident and injured during their week of
camp. Please provide us with your family’s insurance
information if you have not already done so. Living Waters
Bible Camp will submit any outstanding claims to our
insurance for review.

Camper Rules:

Dress Code: In today’s society, we believe that clothing
guidelines are necessary. At Living Waters Bible Camp, we
ask all campers and staff to adhere to certain expectations.
Listed below are articles of clothing we consider to be
inappropriate.

Clothing that has suggestive ads or sayings.
Strapless, spaghetti straps, halter-tops or one strap tops.
Tops or shirts that reveal the midriff area.
Clothing that reveals undergarments or private parts.
Two piece swim attire such as bikinis
Swim suits on campus (except when going to or returning
from the pool or water activities).
Camp Boundaries: Campers are to stay within the
mowed areas. Anywhere else, campers must be
accompanied by a staff member. (If you drove a vehicle to
camp, you may not drive the vehicle until camp has
concluded.)

Curfew: Stay in your dorms after lights out. Campers
found out after this time may be sent home.

Dorms: Campers are not allowed on porches or in dorms
of the opposite sex.

Dorm Clean-up: Your dorms, including bathrooms,
are to be cleaned daily.

Fire Extinguishers are for your safety and not to
be tampered with.

Food: No food in dorms due to problems with ants, etc.

Guys/Girls: We ask you to restrain yourselves in
physical affection toward one another. We ask that you keep
air space between couples — i.e. no holding hands, kissing,
lying close or on each other.

Kitchen: Only kitchen staff are to be in the kitchen.

Medication: If camper is on any medication,
prescription or non-prescription, it must be given to and
administered by the nurse (except inhalers).

Music: Music will be provided throughout the week.
Camp policy prohibits portable audio devices if you do have
them, we ask you to keep them in your suitcases. If we find
they are being used, we will ask you for them and return
them to you on Saturday.

Phone Calls: There is a pay phone for all phone calls.
Please do not ask to use the camp phones unless it is camp
business or an emergency. All campers need to ask
their counselor first.

Tobacco, Alcohol, Drugs: These are not allowed
on camp property. Campers found with tobacco, illegal
drugs or alcohol may be sent home. (Conact the Executive
Director to discuss any questions you may have.)

Property Damage: Individuals are required to pay
for damage done on purpose due to carelessness or anger.
We would appreciate help covering the cost of damage even
if it was accidental.

Abuse: LWBC and its staff are considered mandatory
reporters of abuse and must therefore report any allegations
to the appropriate authorities.

We desire Living Waters Bible Camp to benefit all those who
come. If a camper is unwilling to cooperate with the
rules and guidelines, his/her parents may be called and
instructed to take the camper home.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding these
guidelines and rules, please feel free to call or e-mail.
