someone in authority attesting to their character and capabilities as a sponsor, as well as stating that they
have in their possession the required back ground checks and trainings as specified on the form. Churches who
do not have a sponsor for their girls or have only one or two girls attending should make arrangements with
another church sharing the sponsor fee. THIS YEAR THERE WILL BE NO CHILDCARE PROVIDED UNLESS YOU ARE
A BIBLE STUDY TEACHER AND ONLY DURING THAT TIME PERIOD. Upon arrival at camp a sponsor from your
group must provide the camping fee for each group, an updated registration list (enclosed), completed health
forms for each camper (this includes sponsors and small children), and the camper warning acknowledgement
for each church, AND A LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION FROM THEIR PASTOR FOR EACH SPONSOR. Please
separate these forms before arriving at camp.
SEXUAL ABUSE AND CHILD MOLESTATION COURSE: ALL sponsors attending camps this summer must meet
these guidelines. Every sponsor, by law, must have with them at arrival to camp the form signed by your
pastor stating that they have in their possession a copy of your Sex Offender check, your Criminal
background check, and that you have completed and obtained a certificate of training from approved Sexual
Abuse and Child Molestation Awareness and Prevention Class.

SPONSORS QUALIFY AS CAMPERS.
HEALTH FORMS: Each camper (includes sponsors) must have a health form signed by a parent or guardian
giving the camp staff permission to obtain medical attention for the camper if an emergency exists. If the
camper is allergic to any medications, these should be listed on the health form. A registered nurse will be in
camp at all times. It would be wise for the SPONSOR to have latex gloves to wear in case a child is cut and
bleeding; this is a safety precaution for all. Also, sponsors, be aware of
any preexisting health condition of any of your girls that might endanger them or your other girls. Also, you
may want to keep a copy of the health form to refer to in case of an emergency. ****If a camper becomes
sick, the camper must report to the nurse. A sponsor is not allowed to even give a child a Tylenol. The nurse
will keep the camper in the clinic during the church service. The camper is not to return to the cabin during the
