Covenant for Sky Lodge Christian Camp
Zone Members

I understand that working at Sky Lodge Christian Camp is a direct service to the Lord within a community that requires sacrificing personal desires in the interest of others. In light of that, I have carefully examined my personal motives, sought God's guidance in the matter and answered all the questions on the application with complete honesty. I promise that, with God's help, I will do my best to set a Christian example at all times.

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

remain until the ending date of my contract.
participate only in those activities consistent with a good Christian testimony while on or off the camp property (which includes, but is not limited to, refraining from all forms of alcohol, tobacco, and drugs).
perform my duties to the best of my ability.
treat all camp property and other's personal property with care and respect.
submit to the authority of my superiors.
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.

Type your name in this box to affirm your acceptance of this covenant statement.
