// PASSION CAMP RULES FOR THE ROAD// 

Rules for the Road
IF your teen is at risk of breaking these rules- talk to them NOW

No Dating: 
  You are going to fall in love, just not on this trip!
   **While there are always new faces, our eyes are on Jesus not a night life.

      Rule of three: students are to remain in groups of three once they leave our host site

No Drama: 
  The attention should be on Jesus, not you!

  **Teens are expect to respect every single other person with their words and actions
     The are required to be able to be self-directed and well-behaved.

    - Walking away from the group and having to be chased down
    - Have to have exceptional attention in order to due mundane tasks
    - Staying up late at night keeping others awake and falling asleep during the ministry sessions
    - Insulting other students

    None of these will be permitted during our week together.

No Exceptions
   There will be 6,000 students and leaders at this event.
   All participants are required to attend ALL parts of all sessions (concerts, games, teaching and worship).
   We arrive and leave as a group.
​   

  Safety and personal responsibility will always triumph over the individual
  We make the call on behavior, YOU call mom and dad to talk about what you’ve done.

    - Arguing with an adult about the boundaries that are set
    - Refusing to do what the rest of group is doing
    - Repeating poor behavior without expecting a response

    *these are just some the joys of parenting at teen (trust us, we’re praying for you)
     BUT we are NOT parents, therefore there are NO special circumstances that give exceptions to the rules above.


Our Response

    Students will receive a verbal warning only ONCE.

    Repeating the same behavior will result in a THEM calling their own PARENT.

    Any final repetition beyond that point will be a call requiring the parent to come and pick them up.
