Staff Expectations

    
 
 
MORAL STANDARDS
Each employee is expected to uphold the standards of conduct befitting a Christian Scientist and a leader of young people during his or her period of employment, including his or her time off. In particular, no employee is to smoke, drink alcoholic beverages, use drugs of any kind, engage in pre-marital or extra-marital sexual activity or otherwise behave in an illegal or immoral manner.

HEALTH CARE
All staff members are expected to rely on Christian Science for the prevention and healing of injuries or disease. Staff members may not be under medical treatment or use or possess any form of medication or medical devices.

TIME OFF
Staff are on duty 24 hours a day with the following exceptions: each staff member will receive a cumulative total of at least 24 hours each two weeks in blocks of not less than 12 consecutive hours free from camp responsibility. Most of these "days off" will be from 8:30 AM to 12:00 midnight on days approved by the director. Every day each staff member will have at least two hours free from assigned camp responsibilities (not counting night hours for sleeping nor meal times). Staff are expected to remain in camp except on their "days off."

DAILY SCHEDULE
All staff are expected to follow the daily camp schedule whenever they are on duty. In particular staff are expected be up each morning before 6:45 AM and to spend at least 30 minutes each morning on metaphysical preparation for the day. Staff are expected to attend all meals and sit at their assigned tables. Staff are expected to be in bed each evening by 11:30 PM.

PERSONAL APPEARANCE
Staff should present an appearance that will help assure parents that their children are being left in good hands and that will encourage campers to maintain good standards of personal hygiene. In particular staff are expected to: be clean and neatly groomed; wear clothes that are clean, appropriate for the activity, and not revealing or suggestive. Bikinis or mini skirts are not appropriate at camp.

RADIO, CD & TAPE PLAYERS
Campers are not allowed to bring radios, CD or tape players to camp. Staff may not bring any radios, CD or tape players with speakers. This includes clock radios. You may bring items that use earphones, such as iPods, and you may only use these items during your time off. If you want to bring a CD or tape player for program use, please speak to the Camp Director for permission. Staff may only use such items during their time off, and never within sight or hearing of campers. Staff should never allow campers to use their radios or tape players. Camp owned equipment is provided for program needs and should not be used for other purposes without special permission from the Program Director.
