Pastoral Reference

A credentialed minister with the AG (Youth Pastor or Other Pastor at their church) will review the list of counselors/staff to provide assurance that each volunteer attending with their church has passed a pastoral reference locally at their church since each of you locally vet your leaders already we require that if any leader matches the following categories:

  • Counselor/Staff is not qualified to be in this role & should be REMOVED

Youth Camp Checks

As a church feel free to work alongside your financial person to see what would work best for your internal process:

  • Send a check to the District office before your camp week

  • Bring a check with you to camp and turn in at check-in/camp office

  • Send a check to the District Office after your camp week

The key thing is that all payments will be due no later than August 15th.

This allows us as a team to finalize camp details prior to us hopping into the fall.
