Are There Any Rules?
Of course! But nothing you can’t live with.

The following rules are reasonable, and they are necessary to assure each delegate has the opportunity to a meaningful experience. Infractions will result in disciplinary action by the Director.

There are only three major rules, and, if broken, will result in the immediate dismissal of any delegate. Transportation home will be at the expense of the parents.

1) Delegates use of tobacco, alcohol, or illegal drugs will not be tolerated.

With Michigan’s tobacco law, delegates under the age of 18 are in violation, therefore, all delegates will be required to refrain from using tobacco products. If you are tasking prescribed medication, it must be in a pharmaceutical bottle and staff will need to be notified at the time of registration.

2) Delegates must remain in our designated campus area at all times.

Since your parents entrust us to keep you safe while at the conference, we ask that you help us do that by restricting your activities to our areas of the college campus.

3) There are separate facilities for male and female delegates.
You are not allowed in areas of the dorm that are not assigned to you.

THE FOLLOWING RULES HAVE ALSO BEEN ESTABLISHED FOR YOUR PROTECTION.

4) Any delegate driving a vehicle to the conference will relinquish the keys to that vehicle upon registration. Keys will be returned upon departure.

5) You have been pre-assigned a room with a delegate from another state or community. No changes will be allowed except under extreme circumstances and then, only by the Director.

6) It is essential that respect and care for public and college property be maintained. Rooms will be inspected prior to your arrival and again upon check-out. Delegates will be responsible for any damages.

7) A room key is provided to each delegate. If lost, a $25 charge is assessed by the college.

8) Each delegate will be issued a nametag upon registration. That nametag is to be worn in open view on the chest of the delegate at all times.

9) There will be only one set of doors used for entering or exiting the dorm. All delegates are to use these doors only. Main doors will be locked between 1:00 and 6:30 a.m.

10) No friends are to come onto campus to join in any of our activities. This upsets the flow and rhythm of the conference and diverts your attention away from the program.

---

It is expected that delegates will be present for all sessions and related functions. All members of the Staff shall assist the Director in the enforcement of the rules of the conference in order that all delegates in attendance have an equal opportunity to gain knowledge from the sessions and enjoy the new friendships that are to be made during the conference. Staff is there for your benefit, so don’t be afraid to approach them should you have a question or concern.
