Do not bring: Drugs (unless prescribed by a doctor), alcohol, tobacco, fireworks, firearms, electronic devices (cell phone policy below, MP3 players, E-readers, handheld video games, etc.) Part of what makes this week so good is no electronics.  

Cell Phone Policy: We understand for many students and parents, cell phones are important to keep up-to-date with how your student is doing. We ask each student that they keep their cell phones put away in their bags once we arrive at the lake, and can use them only once we are en-route returning home. If we see that a cell phone is becoming a distraction at camp, we will confiscate it and notify the appropriate guardians immediately. Please contact Jake during the week if you have any questions or concerns at all!

One Final Note from Jake:

This week is my favorite week out of the year. Houseboats is an experience unlike any other, with students who are desperate to find time with Jesus. Please encourage your student to prepare their hearts ahead of time as we dive into the fruits of the spirit! Thank you for trusting us with your children. We will take lots of pictures for you!
