Prairie States Christian Service Camp

Campers - 2008 rules for Campers and Faculty

The camp Dean is the representative of the Board of Directors and the camp, and has complete authority over his/her camp session.
The Dean is responsible to see that discipline is maintained on the camp grounds.
The Dean may dismiss or exclude anyone who does not obey the camp rules.

No camper or faculty will be permitted to leave the camp grounds without permission of the Dean and without signing out.

Every camper is expected to follow the camp schedule. No one will be excused from classes or any activity of the camp unless permission is given by the Dean or camp Nurse.

Cars driven to Prairie States by campers will be parked and keys left with the Dean.

With regard to clothing, modesty will prevail. The Dean of the week and/or Dorm Parents will monitor this rule.

Displaying too much affection slows the spiritual and physical development of a Christian at camp and will not be allowed.
Sexual immorality (Bibically defined) will not be allowed and will be grounds for automatic dismissal of anyone involved with camp (faculty, staff, camper, etc.).
No member of the faculty, staff or campers will be allowed in the dorm of the opposite sex without the direct approval of the Dean or camp Manager.
