THE GREATEST
Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
Matthew 28:16-20

Frequently Asked Questions
BACKGROUND CHECKS
How long are background checks valid?
We will honor adequate background checks for up to 18 months, which, in most cases, will cover two summers of camp. Please note: if a check is found to be incomplete and more than 90 days old, most companies will require you to submit a new check rather than add to your existing background check.
I need to run an international check. Can I do that?
It is possible to complete a background check on international students and adults (even without a social security number). Please contact your provider regarding the cost and time involved in securing the appropriate check.
If a student turns 18 in the middle of camp, do we need to run a background check before camp?
Yes. In the instance that this happens, complete all needed background checks before leaving for camp.
Do I treat yellow flag and red flag offenses for students in the same manner as adults?
Yes. You will need to screen and evaluate your students in the same way you would for adult leaders.
