Camp Policies

Summer Leadership Camp is a school event, so school policies apply. If there is a discrepancy between school policies and camp policies, the strictest rule will apply. Campers must participate in the camp program, display a positive attitude in all events, and conduct themselves appropriately at all times. Students must show respect to all campers, advisors, and staff. Students will follow instructions from any advisors, adult supervisors, and camp staff. Campers may not use cell phones during camp programs and activities. Campers must follow the dress code. Campers may not enter cabins of the opposite sex, nor may they be on the wrong side of the camp. This rule applies for the entire week, including check-in and check-out. Campers may not enter any other cabins or buildings that they are not assigned to. Campers must remain in their assigned cabin after curfew. The Center strongly recommends that students do not bring valuable items to camp. If a camper chooses to bring valuable items such as iPods and cell phones, the Georgia FFA-FCCLA Center is not responsible for lost, damaged, or stolen items. Language or behavior that is obscene, violent, or racially or sexually inappropriate is prohibited. Use of tobacco products, alcohol and/or drugs is prohibited. Firearms, weapons, pocket knives and/or firecrackers are prohibited. Skateboards, scooters, and roller blades are prohibited. Graffiti or destructive use of items such as water balloons, shaving cream, and toilet paper is prohibited.

In addition, failure to follow no-tolerance policies, including but not limited to use of violence or possession of weapons, use of alcohol or drugs, entering the cabin of the opposite sex, being outside the cabin after curfew, or harassment of another camper or staff, may result in the following steps: Student removed from the facilities Law enforcement contacted A letter sent to school administrator (who may pursue additional disciplinary action) Student suspended from all activities at FFA-FCCLA Centers for up to 18 months

Dress Code

The administrative committee has developed a dress code to assure that no one will feel offended or uncomfortable during his or her stay. If you choose to dress inappropriately, you will be asked to change. By planning ahead and packing appropriately, you will save yourself the inconvenience of having to change and you will be contributing to a pleasant camp atmosphere. Please be advised that this dress code will be enforced for all individuals attending the camp, including staff, advisors, and chaperones. Appropriate shoes, shirts, and shorts or pants are to be worn at all times including meals, morning and night assemblies, recreation functions, when leaving the pool, etc. All clothing must be neat, clean, and acceptable in repair and appearance and must be worn within the bounds of decency and good taste as appropriate for all Camp events.

The length of cut-off shorts must also meet the above requirement where the shorts begin to unravel. Articles of clothing which display profanity, products, or slogans which promote tobacco, alcohol, drugs, sex or are in any other way distracting or inappropriate, are prohibited. Excessively baggy or tight clothing, and clothing which advertises any gang symbols or affiliation is prohibited. Items of clothing which expose bare midriffs, bare chests, undergarments, or that are transparent (see-through) are prohibited. Tank tops are permitted as long as they cover all parts and have straps that cover undergarments. Please be advised that tube tops, shirts that expose a bare back, and halter tops are prohibited.
