As a worker at Summit, I agree to abstain from any unscriptural conduct in the performance of my services on behalf of the camp. I also agree to follow and obey the policies of Kiamichi Baptist Assembly, Green Country Camp and Summit Camps.

I HAVE READ THE FOREGOING RELEASE AND KNOW ITS CONTENTS.

Contract & Guidelines for Summit Staff Workers(Required)

Because Summit has asked you to represent them as a Staff for Summit Camps, Inc., we ask that you read the following Guidelines and sign the agreement at the bottom.

1. Staff will exemplify a Christ-like attitude, behavior and represent Christ and Summit by following all KBA, GCC and Summit rules. Please watch your words carefully and use words that edify and encourage especially in a tense situation. If you see someone breaking a rule, ask a Summit Director to help with the situation!!!

2. Staff are expected to eat meals with their assigned cabins or the cafeteria (whichever is applicable). If there is to be a change, Staff are responsible to notify the cooks of the cabin that is expecting them for meals. It is important that you do this with a servant’s heart.

3. Staff will give their car keys to the Summit Office upon arrival. Staff will not be allowed to drive on or off campus unless asked by the Camp Director or the Summit Secretary. Keys will be returned to Staff at the end of the week as Staff returns home.

4. Staff will be supportive of others. If there is a time when you have not been assigned a duty, please check with the Office and see if help is needed anywhere! Always be in prayer for the staff, camp personnel, and workers.

5. Because we know this is a ministry, we ask that our Staff work hard and to the best of their abilities. The Staff depend on each other to complete each individual’s duties. If there is a problem with how a Staff completes their duties, the Camp Director will discuss the problem with them and determine whether the Staff should continue working. All staff are needed for the cleanup on Friday/Saturday morning at the end of camp & for help before and after the Midnight Services!

6. Staff will be expected to be on time for their assignments/duties. If a Staff can’t be at his/her assigned duty, he/she will notify the Camp Director and Secretary and a replacement will be found. If a Staff doesn’t complete his/her duty as assigned, the Camp Director will talk with them and if they miss their duties a second time, the Staff will be asked to return home without an honorarium. All staff are to attend the staff devotions each evening as directed by the Camp Director.

7. Drink lots of water. It is available in the office at any time. If you feel sick, please let the office know! Because a Staff’s health is of utmost importance, the Staff are to abide by the curfew hours set by the Camp Director. This is vital because each Staff needs to be rested to complete his/her duties effectively and with ministry in mind. Please be sensitive to those who are sleeping in the cabin.

8. Staff are not to adjust their work schedule to their own personal desires.

9. There will be absolutely no dating/flirting with anyone while on Staff at the campground. If the Camp Director has to correct a Staff concerning this, they will be asked to return home without honorarium.

10. Staff that are working at Summit are expected to work the entire week. Staff not staying the entire week will not be paid. Each Staffer has $3 a day at the concession stand at KBA or vouchers for the Sugar Shack at GCC!

Because I represent the Lord Jesus Christ and Summit and desire to minister with Summit, I agree completely with these Guidelines and will do my best to be an effective minister.

I agree.
