Guidelines for Campers

​

GENERAL GUIDELINES

• All minors must be accompanied by an adult who will be accountable for the minor’s behavior throughout the camp. Together, strengthen bonds by participating as a family.

• Adults are responsible for supervising their children outside of scheduled classes and activities, fostering shared growth and responsibility.

• Familiarize yourself with and follow the camp’s schedule, posted for all attendees, to stay connected and involved.
   

PERSONAL CONDUCT AND ETHICS:

• Follow the five Buddhist precepts: no killing, no theft, no sexual activity, no false speech, and no use of intoxicants. These principles help us create a foundation for trust and respect.

• Engage respectfully with all campers, treating everyone as an extended family. Building connections begins with kindness and mutual understanding.

• Put away electronic devices to focus on conversations, activities, and contemplation. ​

MINDFULNESS

• Be mindful of the retreat’s intention and purpose: to foster meaningful connections with others, ourselves, and nature.

• Engage actively in all planned activities and remain present both physically and mentally. Participation helps us level up on the path of connection.
   

PERSONAL ITEMS​

• Let’s be sustainable! Bring your own water bottle, notepad, and appropriate attire for the day’s activities. Thoughtfulness here contributes to the greater connection with our environment.

• Keep your belongings organized and within your designated area to ensure communal spaces remain welcoming for all.​
   

COMMUNICATION AND RESPECT

• Communicate openly and honestly, always with respect. Clear communication strengthens the bonds we are building together.

• Show respect towards instructors, camp counselors, volunteers, and fellow campers. Everyone’s role is important in creating a successful experience.

• Ask for help or clarification when needed. Seeking support fosters trust and connection.
