YOUTH WORK COMMITTEE Committee met August 16-22, 1970 at Camp Kanesatake, Spruce Creek, Pa. and made the following recommendations to Synodical Council: 1. All Camp registration forms and camp fees will be handled by the Synod Registrar (who will be appointed by the Bishop). 2. There will be no Saturday arrivals at Camp. Our week’s reservation begins on Sunday with the first meal to be served Sunday evening. (Youth Groups coming from long distances may obtain special permission for Saturday arrival from the Camp Director.) 3. Accident insurance for the duration of Camp will be provided by the Synod. (The Synod is also considering a travel insurance plan to provide coverage to and from the Camp site. You will be notified of the outcome later.) 4. A Registered Nurse should be provided either by the Synod or the Camp Manager or a local Registered Nurse will be made available on an “on call” basis. 5. Final Housing and Workshop assignment will be determined by the Camp Director. Please indicate your preference clearly on the Workshop forms to be mailed soon. 6. No decision concerning the Camp’s activities, its administration or program should be made without the knowledge and consent of the Camp Director (because in the end it is he and the Synod who are responsible and liable). 7. All visitors must report to and register with the Camp Director. 8. Anyone wishing to leave the Camp for any reason must ask permission from the Camp Director first. 9. Taps will be at 10 p.m. (in order to extend the Family Circle time). 10. A Leadership Training Camp for college-age youth, and adults, may be organized if desired. (You can have it if you want it.) 11. Youth Cabinet members are asked to help as counselors, advisors, serve as organizers, supervisors etc., share the general responsibility with adults for Camp work and consequently live in cabins with campers to share their Camp life en toto. 12. An Operating Fund will be available for the use of the Youth Cabinet. The Youth Cabinet Treasurer will be responsible for handling this Fund. In the event that the Youth Cabinet has need of money, the amount is to be requisitioned of the Synod by the Youth Cabinet Treasurer, be countersigned by the Synod Youth Committee Chairman and authorized for payment by the Bishop. 13. Final responsibility for the Hi-Lite’s quality and contents rests with the Synod Youth Committee Chairman. 14. The Youth Cabinet will now serve as advisors to the Synod Youth Committee, continue to make recommendations regarding Camp program and procedures, and general Synod youth activities. 15. As of 1971, campers shall consist of youth age 13 (or Confirmed) to 18 (or June High School graduates).
