What about music devices and cell phones?
Ok… here’s the deal. You can bring 'em, but they are not allowed on the worksites, during game time or at Worship. Period. If you are found using them during any of those times, they will be confiscated and returned at the end of the event. Use of music devices should be limited to after lights out and for your personal listening only. Be sure to bring your earbuds. Cell phones are to be used for emergency only. Let’s be together building community and not distracted by texting, etc… It’s only a few days. We can provide text counseling if needed.
What about prescription meds?
Controlled substances (i.e., ADHD medication, benzos, prescription pain medications, etc.) must be checked in and dispensed by an adult COP volunteer. Parents can choose to send all other prescription and non-prescription meds with their students or have them checked in and dispensed by an adult COP volunteer. Under no circumstances should any medications (prescription or non-prescription) be shared with others.
