The purpose of Teen Camp 2023 is to inspire teens around the world to shape their communities with the power of God and make a difference in people’s lives. Our commitment to you is to teach you

• the value of service and its importance to God,
• how to be different than the world in a way that inspires others to do the same,
• how your love affects those around you,
• how to believe through challenges to see God’s victory,
• how to keep yourself pure and blameless according to God’s standards, and
• how to bring deliverance to those struggling with gender and mental health issues.

For you to get the most out of Teen Camp 2023, you will need to make a commitment as well. We are asking you to live up to the responsibilities afforded you as a Teen Camp participant. Your commitment to this learning agreement will benefit not only you, but also your fellow camp participants. Thank you for doing your part to add to the Teen Camp experience.

1. I agree to conduct myself in a manner befitting a serious Biblical student.

4. I agree to abide by the direction and instructions of the Teen Camp counselors and leadership.
5. I agree to be in my room by the lights out time listed on my schedule each night.
6. I understand that the legal age for drinking alcohol, smoking, and using alternative nicotine products (e-cigarettes, “vapes,” etc.) in Ohio is twenty-one and that use of any of these products is prohibited.
7. I agree that my priority in the Teen Camp is to receive the greatness of God’s Word.

I Timothy 4:12 [The New Testament in Modern English]:
Don’t let people look down on you because you are young; see that they look up to you because you are an example to them in your speech and behavior, in your love and faith and sincerity.

I have read the previous statements, and I commit to the Teen Camp 2023 Youth Learning Agreement. I agree to demonstrate this commitment throughout Teen Camp 2023.

“Young people have been given a great challenge by God’s Word and great responsibility to His Word. In the youth lie wells of abilities and qualities. God commands them to perfect and use their potential to benefit themselves and the entire Church.”
—The Bible Tells Me So, chapter 12, “The Walk of Youth”
