 Covenant for Sky Lodge Christian Camp Zone Members

Furthermore, upon acceptance of my Zone assignment, I will actively strive to:

•  treat all camp property and other's personal property with care and respect. 

•  submit to the authority of my superiors with a positive attitude.

•  enthusiastically support my fellow workers.

  I further understand and agree that breaking the above agreement merits my dismissal from the privilege of serving the Lord at Sky Lodge Christian Camp.
