2017 CAMPING PARTICIPATION COVENANT INFORMATION PAGE WHY THE CAMPING COVENANT? We understand your aspiration toward excellent stewardship of God’s resources; those currently under the control of your local chapter and those under the control of YFC-USA. With stewardship in mind, it is essential for YFC Camp to make commitments to properties and vendors as much as a year in advance. This helps to ensure quality and leverages economies of scale, both of which result in more students having the opportunity to experience the love of Jesus. YFC Camp is a collaborative ministry which simply cannot, should not, and will not function without the strong commitment and partnership of local chapters. Participation Covenants allow us to enter into contracts and make commitments while helping to ensure the long-term sustainability of a national camping ministry. WHAT DOES THIS COVENANT COMMIT ME TO? For camping groups, it commits you to paying the deposit of $100 per person on the lowest number listed on your covenant on or before the deposit deadline of Wednesday, March 15, 2017. Refer to the camp website for complete registration policies and processes. CAMPING COMMITMENT: • Indicate your first and second choices for your HS and MS camps. • Give us your total camper/leader number for each week. o Example: If NorthBay is your first choice for a group of 20-30, write “1st, 20-30” in the blank. Then write “2nd, 20-30” in the blank of your second choice camp • Your numbers should reflect the total number of people (campers and leaders) in your group. It also should reflect your entire chapter’s number, not each specific ministry area within your chapter. • Please list a range of no more than 20. (Ex: 20-40 or 30-50 etc). The lowest number in the range should be what you feel is your realistic number and the highest number in the range should be what you are hopeful for. COVENANT PRIORITY: Priority is given in order that covenants are received for both camping and Project Serve groups. Some camps have limited space for both campers and Project Serve teams. We do our best to accommodate your first choice, but YFC Camp reserves the right to move your group to your second choice based on space available and total numbers. We will communicate with you if we need you to go to your second choice. With that, don’t delay! DEADLINE: Completed and signed covenants are due back to the NSC by FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 2016 Submit to [email protected] or fax to 303-843-9002 QUESTIONS?

2017 PROJECT SERVE PARTICIPATION COVENANT INFORMATION PAGE WHY THE PROJECT SERVE COVENANT? In the same way that YFC Camp desires accountability from you in order to appropriately commit to financial contracts with our camping partners, Project Serve also has a financial commitment to the property, as well as, a commitment to provide the appropriate number of people to fill the job requirements at each specific property. Without the appropriate number of Project Serve team members, it impacts our ability to provide the best YFC Camp experience possible. It also affects our ability to provide the best Project Serve experience possible due to increased workloads when understaffed. WHAT DOES THIS COVENANT COMMIT ME TO? For Project Serve groups, this covenant commits you to paying the deposit of $75 per person on the lowest number listed on your PS Covenant by the Project Serve deposit deadline of April 15, 2017. Refer to the camp website for complete registration policies and processes. What Project Serve IS: • Project Serve IS an excellent leadership development opportunity. • Project Serve IS a week of working behind the scenes with minimal recognition. • Project Serve IS an opportunity to serve shoulder to shoulder with people from other areas of the country all working towards a common goal. • Project Serve IS a week for personal, social, mental, and spiritual growth. • Projects Serve IS a week of hard work! • Project Serve IS also FUN, even though you might shed a few tears YOU WILL laugh a lot too!

What Project Serve IS NOT: • Project Serve IS NOT a camper experience and it does NOT follow the camper schedule. • Project Serve IS NOT the cheaper way to get a student to camp. • Project Serve IS NOT for the faint of heart, and for those opposed to working long hours. • Project Serve is NOT for people who rebel against authority when work gets difficult.

PROJECT SERVE COMMITMENT: Project Serve is an opportunity for any YFC group or like-minded partner to take advantage of! This is a perfect servant leadership opportunity for any person (kids, volunteers, donors, board members, etc.) who wants to serve Christ behind the scenes at camp. If you are bringing a camping group of 20 or more people to camp, it is your responsibility to bring a Project Serve group to a camp. If this is your very first year bringing a camping group, a 1-2 year grace period is allowed. You can bring the PS group to the camp you are attending with campers or another week. When calculating your PS Commitment, note the following: • Bring at least 1 PS member for every 10 in your camping group. • If your camping group is attending Canyon or Clearwater Cove, the ratio is 1 PS member for every 5 in your camping group. • Bring 1 PS adult for every 5 PS participants. Think of your adults as “Cabin Leaders” – adults who have relationships with the PS participants you are bringing (i.e. someone who can lead them well). • You will also need a Trip Leader for your PS group to coordinate with the PS leadership • Project Serve groups need to plan to arrive at camp the day before camping groups arrive and plan for departure from camp after camping groups leave. COVENANT PRIORITY: Priority is given in order that covenants are received. Some camps have limited space for PS teams. We will do our best to accommodate your first choice, but YFC Camp reserves the right to move your group to your second choice based on space available and total numbers. We will communicate with you if we need you to go to your second choice. With that, don’t delay!
