Camp Rules and Expectations
GENERAL CONDUCT EXPECTATIONS AND REGULATIONS
The camp operates with a minimum of rules. The dormitory regulations will be explained on registration day. Other than compliance with these rules, we expect regular and prompt class attendance and the type of behavior that will bring credit to you, your home, and your school. If it should become necessary to dismiss anyone from the camp, parents will be notified immediately, and all fees paid will be forfeited.
In order to allow camp to flow smoothly, we require that certain rules be followed:
AUTOMOBILES: Students attending the camp are not to drive or ride in cars or on the Panhandle Transit buses while at camp. Students staying in the dormitories will be required to check their car keys with the dormitory supervisor. Commuters and Canyon residents are to drive to and from the campus and are to leave cars parked in the Virgil Henson Activities Center Parking Lot except when they are going to lunch. Parents need to sign out their students when taking them to eat, etc. with the dorm supervisor or camp secretary.
LASER POINTERS, WALKIE-TALKIES, SKATEBOARDS, ROLLERBLADES, SKATES, AND BICYCLES ARE NOT ALLOWED AT CAMP. The University has acquired BIRD© electric scooters all around campus. Campers will NOT be permitted to use or be on these scooters during camp.
CELL PHONES: will be allowed at camp with the following restrictions: phones must be turned off during classes and you cannot receive calls in the dorm after 10:30 pm curfew. Students are not allowed to make or accept phone calls in the dormitory after 10:30 pm unless it is an emergency.
ENERGY DRINKS: Energy drinks of any kind (Monster, Bang, 5-Hour Energy, etc.) are not permitted at camp and will be taken up immediately.
SMOKING/VAPING: Smoking and vaping is not permitted at any time while a student is in attendance at the camp.
DRUGS: Obviously, the use of illegal drugs is strictly prohibited.
ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES: The possession or consumption of alcoholic beverages is strictly prohibited.
CURFEW: a definite curfew hour is announced daily and is determined by the activities planned for each evening. Strict enforcement of the curfew regulation is maintained.
VISITING HOURS: Boys are permitted to enter the visiting lobby areas in the girls' dorms from 4:00 to 10:15 pm only and vice versa. Any misconduct may result in the suspension of this privilege. No student is permitted to remain in the dorm after 9:00 am unless he/she is ill and has received special permission from the dorm supervisor.
DEPARTURE: Most students will depart from the camp immediately following the Final Concert on Saturday, July 15th. Only students with documented transportation problems (those who cannot obtain plane reservations, etc.) or students whose directors are attending the camp and are willing to assume responsibility for their conduct will be allowed to stay an extra night in the dormitory. All others will be expected to check out on July 15th.
ALL STUDENTS WISHING TO STAY SATURDAY NIGHT MUST BE CLEARED WITH MR. LEFEVRE; DOCUMENTATION OF HIS/HER REASON FOR STAYING IS REQUIRED. Students who do have clearance to stay in the dormitory that evening will be required to observe a 10:30 pm curfew on July 15th. There is an extra room charge of $27.00 per student for staying Saturday evening.
MISSING ITEMS: If you have lost an item/items during camp, check with Student Events (N101) or the Camp Office (MMNH 263). Lost nametags, cards, or keys should be reported promptly. There will be fees for replacing dorm keys ($100) and Buff Gold cards ($10).
