LEVEL UP
“Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.” James 4:10
We often think of spiritual growth as production and miss the fact that growth in the Christian life starts with and is dependent upon God’s work more than our effort. We think the answer is to work hard, to become disciplined, to fight when to level up, we must first become less. This isn’t easy and doesn’t come naturally.
This summer we will walk through James 4 and look at the attitudes with which we pursue a life of spiritual discipline in Christ. As believers, we are to take the posture of:

Frequently Asked Questions
BACKGROUND CHECKS
How long are background checks valid?
We will honor adequate background checks for up to 18 months, which, in most cases, will cover two summers of camp. Please note: if a check is found to be incomplete and more than 90 days old, most companies will require you to submit a new check rather than add to your existing background check.
I need to run an international check. Can I do that?
It is possible to complete a background check on international students and adults (even without a social security number). Please contact your provider regarding the cost and time involved in securing the appropriate check.
If a student turns 18 in the middle of camp, do we need to run a background check before camp?
Yes. In the instance that this happens, complete all needed background checks before leaving for camp.
Do I treat yellow flag and red flag offenses for students in the same manner as adults?
Yes. You will need to screen and evaluate your students in the same way you would for adult leaders.
