Welcome/How to Use this Manual
SkillsUSA Advisors:
Welcome to the 2013-14 school year! I know you are ready to get the new school year up and
running and are excited about the upcoming opportunities that this year may provide.
Attached are the instructions for completing registration. As a part of the instructions, you will
see screen shots to guide you through this process step by step. Please review the instructions
in their entirety before contacting me with questions on the process. Our expectations are that
teachers should be able to register solely by reading the instructions.
This manual serves as a one-stop-shop for all of your Tennessee SkillsUSA needs. You will be
able to print this document or save it on your computer and return to it when questions arise.
The manual is an in-depth guide that will walk you through a host of situations and processes
that you will need to make this year a success. The purpose of this guide is to make your life as
a SkillsUSA advisor easier.
You will see a SkillsUSA directory, step-by-step instructions on the new and improved indirect
affiliation procedure and conference registrations, deadlines, calendars, forms, and more.
Please read the guide carefully and use it to your benefit.
Thank you very much for your cooperation and for all of your hard work in making the 2013-14
SkillsUSA year a success.
Sincerely,
Brandon Hudson

Advisor Responsibilities
Providing Chaperones
You are required to provide chaperones for both male and female students that you bring. These arrangements must be made
prior to arriving at camp. We require a ten to one student to chaperone ratio.
If you are bringing or sending students to camp, you are responsible for providing chaperones for your students. If you do not
have a chaperone, we suggest that you contact another advisor and make arrangements for them to take responsibility for your
students. Be sure to indicate on your registration materials if you have an advisor from another chapter responsible for your
students so that cabin assignments can be made accordingly. It is the responsibility of the advisors to provide supervision for
the campers they bring. If you have made arrangements for another advisor to chaperone your students, you must check in
with that advisor on a regular basis during the camp week.
If an advisor must leave during camp, they must secure another advisor to supervise their students. The advisor must notify the
camp office when they leave and advise who is supervising their campers. There is a sign-in and sign-out sheet in the camp
office to use when leaving the camp.
Dance/Game Night
In the event that a dance is held at camp, advisors must be present. Inappropriate dancing is prohibited. During the dances held
in the administration building, ALL students are required to remain in the administration building or in a supervised designated
recreation area.
Dress Code
We rely heavily on the advisors to enforce the dress code. Basically, we ask that clothing cover the body from the shoulders to
mid-thigh. Swim suits for boys and girls (one piece) is appropriate for Tennessee FCCLA/SkillsUSA Leadership Camp. Shirts and
shoes must be worn at all times unless in the pool. Clothing should not advertise illegal drugs, alcohol, tobacco, sex, or violence.
Please use common sense to make sure all campers dress appropriately.
General Sessions
Advisors are needed at all assemblies for crowd control and for making sure that all students are in assembly. Assemblies are an
excellent opportunity for advisors to build rapport with the students by sitting with them.
Dining Hall Procedures
Chapter members are expected to be prompt for the serving of the meals and to leave the cafeteria as soon as the meal is
finished. Campers are required to wear shirts and shoes in the dining hall; swimsuits are prohibited. Caps and hats are not to be
worn in the dining facility. Second helpings will be served only after the entire group of guests has been served. If there are
certain foods you do not want, tell the server as you go through the line.
Other Responsibilities
Advisors and adult chaperones are responsible for supervising students throughout the week. Please familiarize yourself with
the Camp Policies on the next page so that you can enforce these important rules. Note that advisors have the authority to
enforce policies with any student at camp. Specific advisor duties include supervision in cabins, dining hall door control, and
cleaning grounds. We also ask that advisors volunteer to help their chapter lead a flag-raising or reflection ceremony. Specific
duties will be assigned at the advisor meeting. One of the greatest responsibilities of the advisors is to portray a positive
attitude, a high level of excitement, and good sportsmanship that will spread to the students.
