THINGS TO REMEMBER SO THAT OUR CAMP
WILL RUN SMOOTHLY AND HAPPILY &
IN A CHRISTIAN MANNER
|
-
The rule that the Lord has given
us for His glory and our good, is
that "all things" should
"be done decently and in
order." (1 Cor. 14.40)
-
Camp is where we seek to
cultivate Christian
thoughtfulness, trust and honour.
Be thoughtful of others. Be
worthy of the trust and respect
of others, including the camp
parents, speaker, cooks and team
leaders. Be honourable in
behaving towards all in a
courteous, patient, loving and
helpful manner. Speak and act
kindly towards others. This is
Christianity in ACTION!!
-
Do not leave the immediate camp
grounds without first seeking
permission from either the camp
father or mother. It is important
for the camp parents to always
know where all members of the
camp are. They are responsible
for your safety and well being.
There will be free times when you
may be able to go for a walk, a
swim or a canoe ride, etc.
However, first see the camp
parents.
-
It is important that we respect
the privacy of others. Boys,
then, do not go near the
girl’s dormitory, nor the
girls go near the boys&rqsuo;
dormitory.
-
When lights go out in the
dormitories, be thoughtful of
others. There will be those who
will be wanting to go to sleep.
This means ALL must speak and act
quietly, especially those who
wish to stay up for awhile
longer.
-
Lights out at 10:00p.m. means
that all campers who wish to stay
up beyond that hour, must
remain in the hall. There
will be quiet activities
available in the hall for those
who wish to stay up.
-
You know that if people get over
tired they are no fun. Be sure to
get to bed and sleep at the
all lights out call.
Beware you do not turn into a
GROUCH!
-
For the fellowship and unity of
the camp, all should be sure they
are up in time to have freshened
up in body and spirit, and be at
the breakfast table at starting
time.
-
Remember that playing jokes on
others can be good fun…
but it is only Christian good fun
if you know that the one you play
the joke on will see the funny
side of it as well. Both must be
able to laugh! The scriptural
rule is, "Do unto others as
you would have them do unto
you." (Matthew 7:12)
-
The ties of friendships we build
and make here are, in the Lord
Jesus Christ, for ever. To work
at being a real friend to one
another is one of the most
worthwhile things you can do in
your life, and at this camp.
