Please dress with respect and modesty.

• He/she will tell the registrars who is the emergency contact person who will be on-site overnight and responsible for their group
• He/she will also provide the corps officers' cell phone number to the registrars, if the corps officer is not staying on campgrounds

What about the kids and teens?
Children's meetings will be held during most of the adult meetings, with the exception of the Sunday afternoon Candidates' Farewell Service, when only the nursery will be in operation.
