At YW Camp, we will follow FSY standards as described below. 

 

Clothing Guidelines

 

• Be neat, clean, modest, and appropriate in your clothing and grooming.
• Avoid being extreme or inappropriately casual in clothing, hairstyle, or behavior.
• Footwear should be appropriate for the activity and worn in all public areas.
• For activities where Sunday dress is required, wear clothing that will show respect for the Lord and yourself. Dress appropriately, as you would when attending Sacrament services.

 

“Our clothing expresses who we are. It sends messages about us, and it influences the way we and others act. When we are well groomed and modestly dressed, we can invite the companionship of the Spirit and exercise a good influence on those around us.” (www.ChurchofJesusChrist.org/Study/Manual/Gospel-Topics/Modesty)

 

Standards of Conduct

 

There is a time and a place for many things. FSY is not the time or the place for engaging in romantic behavior, playing pranks, or having conversations regarding politics, unrevealed doctrine, or other sensitive topics. Remember: youth are guests on campus and they have committed to follow the Savior’s example. Everything and everyone should be better because they were there.

 

Participants at FSY are expected to follow all principles taught in For the Strength of Youth: A Guide for Making Choices.

 

The following prohibited activities will result in staff speaking with youth’s parents and may result in staff contacting the youth's bishop and/or sending the youth home immediately at the youth’s own expense and with no refund, at FSY staff's sole discretion.

 

• Participating in or encouraging immoral behavior of any kind, which includes breaking the law of chastity or viewing or distributing pornography in any form
• Shoplifting, theft, or vandalism of any kind
• Breaking the Word of Wisdom, including vaping and possessing illegal or harmful substances ¹
• Possessing weapons, including pocketknives, firearms, or other banned items of any kind ²
• Harming or threatening to harm themselves or others physically, spiritually, or emotionally, including any form of bullying or disruption of other's FSY experience
• Leaving without following proper check-out procedures, including skipping scheduled activities without permission and breaking FSY curfew

 

All crimes and harmful or destructive incidents or pranks will be reported to local authorities. Consequences of actions taken by local authorities are out of our control.
