• We do drive into Battle Ground for some outreach and evening services​ at the COTR building

​​

7) WHAT IF A YOUTH MISBEHAVES?

• If you are familiar with COTR culture and theology, you appreciate that we are big on discipleship and the breakthrough Jesus Christ provides...

• To this end, we intend to walk with any youth through challenges that may arise

• Encouraging them to live fully alive in Christ and honor camp policies, property, and other people

• If issues persist or cause undue harm, leadership will contact parent/guardians to discuss option

• We reserve the right to send youth home from camp as we deem necessary

​

8) ARE YOUTH DRIVERS ALLOWED?

• For safety and liability sake...

  • Youth drivers are NOT allowed to drive themselves to and from camp throughout the week

  • If your youth must leave camp (for any pre-approved reason), they must be picked up and dropped off by a parent/guardian

• Again, a parent/guardian is required at check-in Monday morning at 10:00 AM at COTR
