Camp Staff Policies

The following staff policies represent principles set forth by the camp board of the Grindstone

Lake Bible Camp Association. Interpretation lies with the camp director. Enforcement and

recourse is the responsibility of the camp director. Failure to comply with either the spirit or

explicit meaning of the policy may result in dismissal.

Relationship to Christ

A. Life Witness. All staff members are expected to be a good representative of the Lord and the

camp at all times. Whether on or off the grounds, staff shall strive to model a Christian lifestyle

in their relationships with campers, other staff, visitors, and outsiders alike.

B. Outside of any scheduled camp activity, all staff must participate in a personal devotion.

Relationship to the Camp Program

A. Responsibilities: Staff members must fulfill all assigned responsibilities. Any change in

staff assignment or outlined responsibility must be called to the attention of either the camp

director or camp manager.

B. Leaving Grounds: During staff free time, staff members have to sign out in the office. If

under 18, staff members must have a permission slip filled out in the office to leave camp

property. During all other times, staff members must get permission directly from the director

and inform the appropriate assistant directors.

C. Staff Attendance: All staff members are expected to attend staff meetings and scheduled

events. Daily chapel services should be attended in accordance with work schedules and camp

responsibilities.

D. Counselors should be in their cabins form go-to-cabins bell to sunrise (except in

emergencies).

E. All counselors are expected to retire at the same time as the campers. Exceptions can be made

at the director's discretion. Curfew for program staff is 11 pm (Unless there is an activity

scheduled that lasts after 11 pm).

F. Camp Policies: Camper policies, appended, apply to staff and campers alike.

G. Music: The staff is allowed to use radios, CD players, Ipods, and phones during their free

time. Other times for use should be determined by the director. Consider the following rules

regarding music:

1. All music must be Christian in content.

2. When considering volume, staff members should follow this guideline: if a person can

hear it outside the building, it is too loud.

3. Campers are not allowed to listen to music without a staff member present.


H. Appearance: A staff member's appearance should not interfere with the ministry of the

camp. The following guidelines have been set-up to interpret this policy:

1. Appearance shall not be a stumbling block to any staff member or camper.

2. All staff members are required to dress in a modest fashion. Underwear must be worn.

Tight fitting and/or abbreviated apparel will not be permitted. Special care is requested in

swimwear; a modest one-piece suit for women is appropriate. Immodest swimsuits will

have to be covered with a T-shirt.

3. Clothing should be neat, clean, non-revealing, free of obscene or offensive printing.

4. Appearance shall not draw so much attention to the person that the focus becomes the

person and not Jesus Christ. Since body piercing and hair color are controversial issues,

since campers view staff as persons of influence, and since we do not wish to create a

conflict with a camper's parents, GLBC urges the staff to exemplify a modest appearance

in these areas. No body piercing or excessive earrings or changing of hair color is

allowed.
