Ablaze '10 Rules
Download a PDF version of this
Youth Ablaze rules are enforced for the health, safety, and well-being of all our Campers and Leaders. We expect everyone to follow these rules without exception. Thank you for your cooperation!
REMEMBER THIS RULE: Make sure you cover this with the students and parents ahead of time…
ABSOLUTELY NO CELL PHONES ARE ALLOWED IN THE POSSESSION OF STUDENTS DURING CAMP! Any cell phones that are brought by students, once on the grounds, they will need to be turned in to the registration counter. We will have a designated place and person in charge of just the electronics. Counselors and adult volunteers are allowed to have a cell phone in case of emergency. Please remind students and parents there is a land line phone available on the grounds and calls can be made between 12 Noon and 4:00 PM. They will need to bring a calling card with them. Two reasons for this major rule: 1) cuts down on interruptions during classes & services; keeps from distracting the students during activity time & 2) will greatly reduce loss, theft, &/or damage to the cell phones.
PLEASE REMEMBER TO COVER ALL RULES WITH YOUR STUDENTS / PARENTS / ADULT VOLUNTEERS: We suggest that you have two or three communication meetings with your group before traveling to Camp. This will cut down on miscommunications and keep everyone well informed of the process and what is expected.
BASIC RULES & APPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR
Adult leaders, please go over the “checklist” and “basic rules” with your group. If you have questions, call us!
† No tobacco products allowed during youth camp. You cannot smoke, dip or chew any tobacco products on campus. If you are caught doing so, the products will be taken from you. This also applies to our youth leaders.
† We require total respect to be given to all adults and leaders during camp.
† No cursing or foul language will be tolerated.
† No fighting or arguing will be tolerated.
† During services, you are expected to participate in worship & altar services. You are expected to engage yourself as the Word is being preached or taught, by listening & following along in your Bible or reading along as scriptures or outlines are displayed on the screen. You are expected to stand when everyone else is.
† During activity time, we ask that you dress appropriately, also. Ladies, if you choose to wear shorts, please make sure they’re to your knees; no tank/halter tops allowed; no low cut or tight shirts allowed; no belly shirts allowed. Gentlemen, please do not wear cut off sleeve shirts, or offensive logos.

We are focusing on our first love, Jesus! No pairing off will be allowed at all. We expect you to stay with a group of at least three or four at all times.
You will not be able to leave the grounds of Signal Mountain Campground at anytime. There will be off campus drivers available if you need anything. Students driving to camp will be asked to leave keys in the main office until the end of camp.
