Terms of Agreement

Check the box beside each statement to indicate your agreement.

In the event that a spot is offered to me and barring unforeseen circumstances that would preclude my attendance, I am committing to attend Hope Heals Camp for the entirety of the session(s) for which I am applying.*

I understand that all adults age 18+ who apply to attend Hope Heals Camp in any capacity will be subject to a comprehensive background check.*

I am responsible for paying or fundraising the Hope Heals Camp tuition in full by the time Camp begins. I understand that tuition is NON-REFUNDABLE in the event that I am unable to attend Camp because of personal conflicts, and I am responsible for communicating this refund policy to donors. I understand that the application fee does not count toward my overall Camp tuition.*

Hope Heals Camp volunteers are lodged in gender-specific cabins, which means volunteer families may not be lodged together. If I am bringing a child of the opposite gender to volunteer at Hope Heals Camp, he or she must be prepared to stay in a different cabin than I do.*

I understand that any volunteer families who attend Camp with a TYPICALLY ABLED child under age 8 will be responsible for providing a one-on-one caregiver who will accompany that child during daily programming at Camp. This caregiver will not receive another serving role at Camp and will pay full tuition to attend. If I do not provide a caregiver, I agree to be the caregiver. I understand that this policy does not apply to volunteer families who bring a child with a disability. Hope Heals Camp will provide a Compassionate Companion for those instances.*

If I am offered a spot at Camp, I will serve in the capacity assigned to me by the Hope Heals Camp team with the love, integrity, and humility reflected in the person of Jesus.*

Hope Heals Camp is a place of peace, security, and love. Any items or substances that impede our community culture are not welcome. Participants will not bring weapons of any kind (including firearms, regardless of his or her license to carry), illicit drugs, pornography, or tobacco products. Alcohol should not be consumed in the presence of or offered to anyone under the age of 21.*

Hope Heals Camp may use photos and/or video recording, which may contain my image and/or voice without restriction, for any purpose, including public broadcast and fundraising.*
