Camper wishes to (and if under 18 years of age also the Parent(s) authorize and grant permission to allow Camper to) participate in the Mt. Palomar Bible Camp ("Bible Camp") to be provided by SDCF. In consideration for being accepted by SDCF for participation in Bible Camp to be provided by SDCF, the undersigned Camper and Parent(s):

1. UNDERSTAND AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT TRAVEL TO AND FROM BIBLE CAMP AND ACTIVITIES AT BIBLE CAMP MAY BE DANGEROUS AND POSE THE POTENTIAL RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE, SICKNESS, BODILY INJURY AND DEATH TO ALL INDIVIDUALS WHO PARTICIPATE.
2. ASSUME ANY AND ALL RISKS, LIABILITY AND RESPONSIBILITY involved in or arising from Camper's travel to and from Bible Camp and Camper's participation in Bible Camp and all activities at Bible Camp including without limitation the risks of property damage, sickness, bodily injury or death resulting from the foregoing, whether or not caused by the negligence or other fault of SDCF.

4. Waive the protection afforded by any statute or law in any jurisdiction (e.g., California Civil Code § 1542) whose purpose, substance and/or effect is to provide that a general release shall not extend to claims, material or otherwise, which the person giving the release does not know or suspect to exist at the time of executing the release.
5. Agree to pay for any and all injuries and damages caused by Camper, negligently, willfully, or otherwise to Camper, to any other person, to SDCF and to any property.

Camper and Parents understand that SDCF from time to time produces promotional material relating to its programs and that Camper may be included in videotapes or photographs taken during Bible Camp so, without reservation or limitations, hereby assign, transfer and grant to SDCF, its successors and assigns, licensees, sponsors and all other commercial exhibitors the exclusive right to photograph and/or videotape Camper and to utilize such videotapes and photographs and Camper's name, face, likeness, voice and appearance as part of Bible Camp, in advertising and promoting similar future events.

I understand that SDCF is relying on this Agreement to accept Camper for participation in Bible Camp and would not accept Camper in Bible Camp if Camper did not execute this Agreement. We have read and understand this Agreement. We understand that by signing this Agreement, we surrender valuable rights. We do so freely and voluntarily. We further certify that we have received and read a copy of this Agreement.

Our goal is to provide a safe Christian environment for all campers. Below is a list of rules that we must enforce to protect our campers and maintain our high standards. Parents - please review these rules with your child. Parents and campers should sign below, indicating the camper's commitment to live by these rules while at Mt. Palomar Bible Camp.

1. Males may not enter female cabins and females may not enter male cabins.
2. Campers may not leave their cabins earlier than 7:30 A.M.
3. Absolutely no lighters, matches, or any other fire-producing devices will be permitted at camp.
4. You may not reassign other campers to others beds or dorm rooms. Other campers' possessions, including bedding, are completely off limits.
5. You may not leave the camp for any reason without the expressed permission of the Camp Director. This includes for hikes that are not organized by staff.
6. All campers must attend all organized activities.
7. Displays of affection beyond handholding will not be permitted.
8. Swimsuits may not be worn other than to, from and in the swimming pool. Campers must cover-up while walking to and from the pool area.
9. Modest clothes are required. Shorts should fall on the lower half of your thighs. Bare midriffs are unacceptable. To prevent undergarments from being exposed, tank top straps should be 1.5 inches wide and pants must be secured around the waist or hips. Camp staff reserves the right to request that campers promptly change their clothes if campers are not dressed modestly. Please see the "Dress Standards" letter in the information packet for more details.
10. Electronic devices including radios, CD players, Ipods, Game Boys, laptops, etc. are not allowed.
11. Tobacco, drug or alcohol use will not be tolerated and will require the camper be sent home.
12. No knives (including pocket knives) or weapons of any kind are allowed. Violation will mean the camper may be sent home.
13. If staff must speak with a camper multiple times about behavior that is not in line with camp standards and/or is a disruption to camp, that camper can be sent home at the discretion of the Camp Director(s).

I agree to behave in a manner that is both respectful of Mt. Palomar Bible Camp staff and campers, as well as the Palomar Christian Conference Center staff and facilities. I will comply with the rules of Mt. Palomar Bible Camp as outlined above. I understand that violation of these rules may result in disciplinary action, including the possibility of being sent home. IMPORTANT NOTE: If a camper must be sent home, the parents agree to come and pick him/her up without a refund.

Dear Parent/Guardian,

It is wonderful to know that your son/daughter has chosen to participate in our annual Palomar Mountain Christian Camp. Our prayer is that your child will draw closer to our Lord and the cross of Calvary by something that is said or done during camp. We are very excited about this year's camping experience for your camper(s).

Each summer, young people come to camp and make a decision to follow Christ. The death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ is the essence of the gospel message. God wants everyone to respond to this grace through faith (I Timothy 2:4-5; Ephesians 2:8-10). We pray the week your child is in camp that the Lord will use us to teach the message of God's love, mercy and grace.

This letter is our way of emphasizing the importance of baptism in a young person's life and making sure that you as parents/guardians are part of that decision. We will make you aware of your child's decision prior to any immersion. Time will be provided for questions, study, and visits with you and your child to ensure they understand the purpose of baptism and the ramifications of dying to self. Please provide an accurate recall number (home, cell, work) and any appropriate comments/instructions regarding the possibility of their conversion to Jesus Christ during camp. If you would rather them wait until they return home for more instruction, teaching, etc, please specify in the comments.
