Dress Code

Campers are expected to reflect a Christian example by their dress. Counselors, parents, and church leaders are responsible for the clothing/appearance of the youth and adults attending camp. The manner of dress should be set and clearly communicated prior to leaving home. The camp director has the final say in all matters regarding attire.

Modest shorts and tank tops are acceptable for the daytime activities. Shorts can be worn to worship but must be longer than the arm and hand when extended down the side of the person. Modest skirts and dresses are acceptable in worship, and jeans are always acceptable. Tank tops are NOT acceptable for evening activities. Sleeveless outfits are acceptable but they should adequately cover undergarments. Immodest shorts or tops, spaghetti strap tops, distasteful designs or messages, and other extreme clothing ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE at any time. Only one-piece swimsuits are allowed. Bikinis, French cut or One-piece resembling two-piece should not be worn.

NOTE: Campers wishing to participate in possible on-stage opportunities will need to bring long pants or a long skirt for their performance.

What's with the online Medical Release Form?

The Medical Release Form is now an online form that has been reformatted to better meet your needs.  The Medical Release Form is now being completed online because our insurance company is now requiring us to keep records until a student’s Statute of Limitations expires.  The Statute of Limitations expires on a camper’s 19th birthday.    Let’s take a typical 3rd grade who comes to Crossings for Kids, he/she is approximately 8-9 years old.  That means that our insurance is requiring us to keep the typical 3rd grader’s Medical Release Form approximately 10 years.  You can imagine that this would quickly become a mountain of paperwork, were it not digital.

Is the site secure?

The Medical Release Form is completed on a secure site.  This is the same encryption technology that many banks are using online.

After submitting the form you will be redirected to a page that is “printer friendly” and you should print out the form to be signed in the presence of a notary.  This form should be turned in to the group leader and brought to camp.

I lost my form before giving it to my group leader. What should I do?

Should you lose this form or if you are not able to print out the form, your group leader will have access to print your medical release form.  Please contact them to acquire your new form.

Please be sure to visit the already registered section of our website to fill out medical release and poi forms.

What's a POI?

• POI stands for Points of Impact.  These are times during the day that are used to build relationships with students.  Crossings Camps offer a variety of POIs ranging from extreme sports like mountain biking and rock climbing to indoor activities centered around missions and worship.   You will find a list of typical POIs at camp below.
• POIs are chosen by the students using the online POI Form.

Who will be leading my students at camp? Information about our summer staff...

The staff at Crossings are second to none!  We are relentless in pursuing college students who are passionate about teaching the Word and building relationships with students.  We search out students at schools and churches all across KY and surrounding states.  Each of our staff have completed at least one year of college and are Lifeguard/CPR/First Aid trained. In addition, we run a background check on every staff member and volunteer we employ to ensure your students' safety.

We love and trust our college students however they do not administrate camp.  We have full-time staff at each property who are ultimately responsible for camp and who interact primarily with the adults that are at camp.
