Peace Keeper Rules
The purpose of Flaming Pine Youth Camp is for every camper to grow in the likeness of Christ while they are at camp. Another goal of FPYC is that fun and adventure be a part of the camping experience. In order that these things may be accomplished, the following rules have been established to help each camper know what his/her responsibilities are.
1. All campers are expected to participate in every activity provided for them unless an exemption is granted by the camp director.
2. No camper is allowed to leave the campgrounds without the permission of the camp director, unless the camper is part of an authorized and supervised group.
3. Campers should always be under the supervision of their counselor, except when they are in Bible, music, or craft classes.
4. Hiking will be permitted only in groups with a responsible leader in charge.
5. Water activities and water safety: No camper may use a boat or canoe without the permission of his/ her counselor nor without adult supervision. No camper is allowed in a boat or canoe without a lifejacket on. Swimming is limited to the designated swimming period for all campers, and only when a lifeguard is on duty. A beach towel or robe is to be worn to and from the beach. There will be no throwing of campers or staff members into the lake at any time for any reason.
6. Each camper has the responsibility to always keep the living quarters (tent or cabin) and the campgrounds clean and neat.
7. Each camper is to know and abide by the daily schedule.
8. Any camper who brings a motorized vehicle to camp must deposit the keys to the vehicle with a caretaker at check-in time and left there for the duration of the camp session.
9. Boys and girls are not to enter or visit the tents or cabins of the opposite gender. Campers must not enter or visit the tents, or cabins of other campers or staff members, including the caretaker's house, without permission from a caretaker or the director of the camp. Campers must not visit or enter a camper-trailer without the permission and supervision of an adult owner of the camper-trailer.
10. There should not be any dating between staff members and campers. Relationships between campers should focus on the development of Christian friendships. Relationships between campers should focus on the entire community of campers.
11. Campers and staff members are expected to always dress modestly. They are not to wear tank tops, low cut tops, or mini-skirts at any time. One piece swimming suits are preferred. Near knee-length, loose-fitting shorts are permitted (ex., Bermuda or Cargo type shorts). Yoga pants or other stretch knit pants are not allowed.
12. The following items must be left with the caretaker at registration: · Electronic devices such as cell phones, iPad, and computers. · Comic books and magazines. Any of these restricted items found with the camper will be taken and given to the caretaker and returned to the camper at the end of the camp session. For the safety, welfare, and convenience of everyone, the items in these lists would be better left in the possession of a parent or guardian before coming to camp.
13. Digital cameras are permitted since cell phones are not permitted during camp. No inappropriate picture taking is permitted.
14. Peer-age visitors (non-campers) are not allowed while a camp is in session, and campers should not make or accept phone calls except in emergencies.

The use of threatening or intimidating behavior (hazing) toward other campers will not be tolerated and will be considered cause for dismissal.
