Why a United Youth Camps Code of Honor? A code of honor is a way of showing consideration, respect, and love to others. It helps everyone get along better and it helps everyone to be treated the same way. Living by a code of honor demonstrates good character, protects the camp facility, it saves us time and it helps save money.
As a United Youth Camper, I will follow and respect the following Code of Honor:
• Strive to behave as a representative of Christ and represent God in an honorable manner (I Timothy 4:12).
• Keep the 10 Commandments (Exodus 20:1-17). Honor God’s Sabbath day and avoid inappropriate Sabbath activities (Isaiah 58:13-14).
• Follow the “no-knock” policy (I will not criticize, make fun of, ridicule, exclude or put down others).
• Avoid going into unsupervised or restricted areas of the camp facility.
• Observe dorm lights out and quiet time.
• Refer to older/married staff as “Mr. or Mrs. (Last Name).”
• Respect my counselor, assistant counselor and other camp staff, and follow their instructions.
• Treat other campers with respect, dignity and a positive attitude. This includes showing proper respect and courtesy between guys and girls at all times.
• Observe the code of no guys allowed in girls’ dorms and vice-versa.
• Observe the code of no practical jokes at camp.
• Keep my living area and bathroom appropriately clean and neat.
• Promote good sportsmanship and a spirit of teamwork during all camp activities.
• Observe all safety regulations while at camp.
• Wear appropriate apparel at all times.
