CELL PHONE AGREEMENT • I understand that cell phones are not appropriate at camp and I agree to leave my cell phone at home.
EXPECTED CAMPER BEHAVIOR Girls are expected to follow the Girl Scout Promise and Law, listen and follow the directions of counselors, use the buddy system, and stay within camp boundaries. No drugs, alcohol, pets, or weapons are permitted on camp property. The camp director reserves the right to send home any camper who neglects to follow camp rules, becomes a danger to herself and/or others, or damages property. No refund will be given if a child is sent home due to misconduct.
______________________________________________________ Parent/Guardian Signature
My child has permission to participate in all phases of camp except as noted on the Camp Health Form, to appear in pictures for publicity purposes, including council website and related organizations websites, and to be registered as a Girl Scout if she is presently a non-Girl Scout. I have read the camp information and agree to cooperate with all policies. Campers will have the opportunity to participate in high-risk activities such as swimming, horseback riding, canoeing and/or the challenge course/climbing wall. Although care is given to greatly reduce the risk involved through safety procedures, education and equipment, I understand high adventure programs are not without an element of danger. I understand the risk involved with this type of program, and I feel the benefits outweigh the potential hazards of the program. My child has permission to take part in and travel to an activity off site of camp or between any of the Girl Scouts Louisiana East camps as part of the planned activities for my child’s camp session.
I understand if my child has requested a Camp Buddy, ALL registrations and deposits must be received at the council office in the same envelope. I understand every attempt will be made to honor their request. I understand that my camper will be sharing a cabin/tent with girls similar in age. I understand that an adult camp counselor is in a cabin nearby.
PARENT/GUARDIAN PERMISSION: I am enclosing the non-refundable $50 deposit (per session). I also understand the balance of remainder of the camp fee is due three weeks prior to camp session.
