I release RGCC staff, faculty, and management from any liability and they shall not be held responsible for any articles lost, stolen, or left at the camp. RGCC has my permission to use any video or photos taken of my child while attending or participating in camp programs to promote RGCC and its ministry.

 I give consent to Rock Garden Christian Camp staff to perform searches of bags, clothing, vehicles, and any other personal property belonging to my child or the minor for whom I represent that I am legal guardian, for security purposes including but not limited to the suspicion of theft, possession of weapons, illegal drugs, or for any reason pertaining to the protection of other campers or staff.

 I understand and agree that the uses of tobacco, alcohol, illegal drugs, vapes, or anything deemed inappropriate, and viewing inappropriate material on the internet is not allowed or acceptable, and will be dealt with by RGCC staff/manger. This may result in being sent home immediately, and law enforcement called if necessary, and confiscation of items or phones.

 I have read and fully understand the paragraphs listed above.  I understand that if I fail to abide by the guidelines listed above, disciplinary action will occur.

In case of emergency, the primary parent/guardian will be contacted first, followed by the secondary parent/guardian listed unless special circumstances are listed above. If you have someone you would like to add as an emergency contact in the rare case that we cannot reach either parent/guardian, please list them here.

I understand that, in the event of an emergency, RGCC will make every effort to contact those people listed on this form.  If RGCC is unable to contact the designated emergency contact, I give my permission to the physician selected by the camp management to secure treatment for my child, as named on this form.

Every year we let our campers participate in supporting a Christian Mission during camp. During the session, we hear from, learn about, and get to know our missionary and are encouraged to sacrifice part of our abundance to support those doing God's work. Each year we raise roughly $4500.00 to help our mission partners. If you would like to donate ahead of time, that is much appreciated and helps us reach our goal faster! Thank You!
