A few things you need to know for the Texas Youth Ministry Camp

The TYMC is an event for Christian youth. Our desire is to create a wholesome and spiritual atmosphere for all attendees. We believe we must represent Christ at all times. As a result of observation and feedback from chaperones, parents, and facilitators, TYMC leadership has determined the need to clearly communicate what is/is not considered acceptable attire. To assist this effort, the TYMC is hereby presenting a dress code for all participants of this event. “We don’t want you to feel out of place if you choose to dress improperly so please comply!”

Enforcement

TYMC will expect Chaperones to monitor and enforce this policy. However, TYMC leadership reserves the right to have the final determination regarding what is/is not appropriate attire, in the interest of the TYMC and Christian principles.  The policy will be administered according to the following action steps:

• 1. If questionable attire is worn, the respective chaperone will hold a personal, private discussion with the violator to advise and counsel the violator regarding the inappropriateness of the attire.

• 2. If an obvious policy violation occurs, the chaperones/facilitators will hold a private discussion with the violator and ask the violator to go and change his/her attire immediately.

• 3. Repeated policy violations will result in disciplinary action, such as the violator will not be allowed to participate in any TYMC activities and will remain with their chaperone at all times for the remainder of the event.

*I’m sure you can understand that we want to safeguard the sanctity of this event therefore we are counting on the parents and chaperones to discuss and enforce these issues with their youth BEFORE coming to the camp. If in doubt, CALL Sydnee Adams-Johnson @ 713-213-9537 or bring an extra change of clothes because we will be watching and correcting error!

 

* All youth are expected to conduct themselves in a way that is suitable for learning and reflects favorably upon God, themselves, their families and their churches! Each group/individual shall have capable chaperones/parents present that they are responsible to in case there are any unexpected situations.                                

     * If special arrangements need to be made for a child because a chaperone/parent can’t be on campus at all times call Sydnee Adams-Johnson @ 713-213-9537 (A DAY IN ADVANCE) to make special arrangements!
