Both weekends will be led in worship by an Austin Stone Worship band.
Your students will mostly be hanging out with their DCOMM (small groups of the same grade/gender) and their DCOMM Leaders. Worship, games, free times and meals will be with all of our students. Leaders who will be participating in SCL have completed our safety onboarding process which includes applications, interviews, background checks, child abuse prevention trainings, and other Austin Stone policy and procedure trainings. Your students' safety is our highest priority.
We ask students to NOT bring their cell phones to this event. Our full cell phone and digital devices policy can be found here.
If a student has prescribed medicine, they will check it in when they arrive on Friday night. The camp medical staff will be responsible to ensure that the student receives it at their prescribed times. Prescribed medication must be in the original packaging. As far as over the counter medication is concerned, items need to be clearly identified/identifiable and handed out at the discretion of the camp medical team and approved by parents (for example: insect bite cream, Tums, headache medicine, etc).
