Going Together Camping Pledge
The website for the Going Together Camping Pledge can be found here as well as a PDF copy of the pledge. It is required that every one attending camp (campers, leaders, staff) signs this document, as well as parents/guardians of the campers. Please talk with your supervisor if you have any questions. A paper copy is required, there is no digital option.
A note from the Northwest Division on the pledge:
By committing to a set of guidelines, campers and leaders can cultivate a respectful and inclusive environment, minimizing conflicts and misunderstandings. Clear expectations promote accountability, ensuring that all individuals contribute to the group experience. This camping pledge creates a foundation of trust and cooperation, allowing participants to fully immerse themselves in the experience while fostering meaningful connections with both nature and each other. This pledge is an expectation of all camp guests and those serving at camp. We are asking every area/trip to communicate the pledge expectation with those attending camp. This will require proactive verbal and written communication with parents/guardians.
Thank you for all the effort that you are putting forward for this!
