Things That Will Send You Home (Automatically)

Our staff will review rules upon arrival to camp to help ensure students are aware of expectations going into camp.

We would never desire to or have joy in sending a student home, so we want to help you identify what may be an offense that will, in fact, SEND YOU HOME.

1. Breaking the Law 😬 - Any offense that is against U.S. or State law will be handled according to the law. This is included but not limited to: deliberate vandalism or damage to property, harassment, theft, and sexual misconduct.

2. Alcohol, Tobacco, Drugs, Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My! - There is absolutely no alcohol, tobacco, vaping, or drugs of any kind. Ever.

3. Weapons, Firearms, and Fireworks (just leave loud things home) - No firearms, weapons, or fireworks of any kind may be used or possessed on campgrounds.

    

Things That Will Send You Home (if the leader thinks it’s necessary)

While the above rules may send a student home, the following rules shouldn’t be diminished in any way. We take these rules just as seriously, but instead of automatically sending a student home for breaking these rules, it is left to the leadership and staff of Judah Church Tribe  to determine if he or she would like to discipline at camp or send a student home.

1. R-E-S-P-E-C-T - Blatant disrespect (including use of inappropriate and vulgar language) towards fellow camp participants, Judah Church staff/leadership, or Camp ground employees will not be tolerated. We also ask that students respect other student’s property and personal space.

2. Don’t Bet Your Bottom Dollar - The camp ground and Judah Church has a no tolerance policy for any type of gambling. This would include any games that involve gambling with cash or cash equivalents.

3. No Purple! - If boys are blue and girls are red, we expect there to be no purple! This includes PDA (public displays of affection). We also enforce a strict policy of gender separation in dorms-- including leaders and during move-in!

4. Don’t Be Shady! - Any pranks done to a person or done to property is strictly prohibited.

5. Modest is Hottest - When considering dress code, our staff will step in to assist in extreme cases, but we will count on leaders to help us enforce such rules.

6. Screen Time Rules! - We ask that students refrain from using cell phones during public gathering times. 

Judah Tribe miniseries has determined a specific standard of dress for all attendees, including leaders. With all of us working together to uphold this standard, we hope to maintain a focus on what truly matters. This is an advanced notice so that you can pack accordingly. While our staff works hard to enforce our standard of dress, we try not to make it our only focus. We apologize in advance if there are any inconsistencies in addressing the standard of dress for one student and not another.
