Examples of what not to pack are:

- No weapons of any kind, including pepper spray, knives etc. will be permitted
- No gum (this is New Frontier's request)

QUESTIONS / LAST MINUTE ITEMS...
We are going to be putting all of the questions we've been asked and you'll see the answers below so ya'll can look at it.
1. Should you bring money? Yes - there will be merch and a New Frontiers store open for you to purchase.
2. Should you bring your own linens? YES! For a Twin Mattress! You can bring sheets and a blanket or just a sleeping bag. You need to bring your own pillow too.
3. Can you bring snacks? Yes but nothing with any peanuts or nuts.
4. Why is there a dress code? Because New Frontiers has asked us to have a respectful dress code and we want to honor them. Also, over the last few weeks of hot weather we have seen a lot of us wear outfits that show a lot of skin during services. This is not coming from a shaming perspective at all, but we do want to keep our youth services and Sunday service outfits respectful and more modest than what we've been seeing. If you have questions about this call or text Des directly and you can talk about it together.
5. When are shower times? Each cabin will be designated their own shower time to ensure all kids are getting their appropriate time and space.
6. What are the condition of the bathrooms? Let's just be clear in saying, you're at camp y'all and not the Four Seasons lol. The bathrooms are cleaned two times a day and have been renovated at the beginning of this year. With that said, we still strongly encourage you to bring a shower caddy and shower shoes.
7. Can you bring a noise machine for your cabin? Talk about it with your cabin mates to make sure you're all on the same page. Bring ear plugs if you're worried about sound.
8. Are there water stations? Yes, there will be water stations all throughout the camp for you to re-fill your water bottle.
HYGIENE
Last year with the heat it brought on a lot of sweat and body odor lol. We kindly ask that you please talk to your kids about the importance of hygiene - we are all in close quarters in the cabins and if kids skip showers or don’t wear deodorant it makes things a little unpleasant.

Our Camp's Code of Conduct
Here at HopeUC Nashville, we are about joining God in transforming students into passionate followers of Jesus. These boundaries listed help us ensure that this value is met.
1. Phones
Campers will be allowed to bring their phones but we are asking campers to leave their phones in the cabins during the day. They will have them in the mornings and evenings before we go to bed. We want the campers to be as engaged as possible and by encouraging the phones to stay in the cabin, we will make room for what God has in store for them with minimal distractions. If parents need to get a hold of their children during the day, they can message Jordan Smith on the app!
2. Pictures / Video Disclaimer
Camp Leaders will have permission to take pictures of kids outside of the cabin but not inside the cabin. Campers will have the ability to take pictures on their own devices at their leisure. No phones whatsoever will be permitted in the bathrooms. We will have a HopeUC Nashville approved photographer and videographer capture footage throughout the entire camp but will follow the same guidelines as our camp leaders.
4. Behavior Standard
a) We ask students to respect all adults, students, and church/camp property. We also ask students to avoid language or actions that are inappropriate or hurtful to others.
b) We have a zero tolerance policy for physical violence. Parents will be called and you will be sent home immediately.
c) No camper is allowed to be in the cabin or bathrooms of the opposite sex
d) Alcohol, drugs, tobacco products, firearms, knives, or weapons of any kind are strictly prohibited.
e) All student medications must be checked in and registered with Desiree & Randall.
