“Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to

there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” - Matthew 17:20

t h e B a r n i v a l“Come one, come all, step right up and see,The Barnival is in town and it’s where you want to be,The ringleader’s ready, the lion’s in the cage,But now it’s time for YOU to take the stage!”

T h e B a r n a b a s O a s i s“We’ve had a long day, so come beat the heat,Come weary travelers to our desert retreat!Dive in and cool down, cause the water feels fine.At the Barnabas Oasis, it’s relaxation time!”

T h e B a r n a b a s A r c a d e“Choose your character and come right in,The Barnabas Arcade is open, be ready to begin!Grab your controller, you’re now player one.Everyone’s a winner, so come have some fun!”

Your camper will be fully engaged during their camp experience, so it is not possible for our staff to direct personal, non-emergency calls to your camper. Assume your camper is having a great time and trust our staff to contact you if necessary. If an issue arises, the Camp Director will call you immediately. A camp nurse will contact you about health or injury issues.

MULTI-DOSE PREPACKAGING UPDATEWe strive to provide everyone at camp with the safest, most current medical practices. If able, campers should bring medication pre-packaged by a pharmacy. Doing so will minimize potential medication errors, and follow the best-practice standards set by the American Nurse Association (ANA). However, we understand that not all insurances and pharmacies are able to assist with this process. In this case, please send your camper’s medication in the original pharmacy container with the pharmacy label in tact, and no written edits on the instructions. As a reminder, liquid medications must also be in the original pharmacy container. Thank you for your support in making your camper’s stay at Camp Barnabas as safe as possible.

Pre-Packaging Definitions: • Multi-Dose Strip Packaging – Each strip consists of individually sealed compartments containing all medications

in pill form that are to be taken at a medicine pass delivery time (listed above).• Multi-Dose Blister Packs – Each blister pocket contains all the medication, in pill form, that is to be taken at a

medicine delivery time (listed above). These can often be ordered online.

Thank you for your support in making your time at Camp Barnabas as safe as possible. If you have questions, please contact our Director of Health Services, Linda Zimmer, at [email protected].

Make sure doses and times match what bottles say as we legally must go off of what the prescription bottle says.Due to the number of medications that the medical team administers, we have 5 pre-set med passes each day. These are pre-breakfast, breakfast, lunch, dinner, and at bedtime. Please complete the medication administration section below.• Please add tube feedings, procedures, topical creams, eye drops, and/or ear drops in this section as well.• If you do not take medications, please note “NONE” in this section.

Please print, fill out & bring to camp. 11

P o l i c i e sWe strive to glorify Jesus Christ in everything we do. We have specific policies designed to allow you to understand what we believe is right and true in the eyes of our Lord. These policies are also designed for your safety and wellness during camp.

D R E S S C O D EGeneral Appearance: Everyone should keep a neat appearance. If you have long hair, it’s recommended to keep it in a ponytail for your safety.

Shirts: T-shirts should reflect a Christian image and not have inscriptions or advertising for questionableproducts (i.e., beer products or slanderous sayings). No spaghetti-strap, tight-fitting or low-cut shirts. Straps on shirts must be at least the width of two fingers and completely cover bra straps. Shirts must cover abdomen, even when hands are lifted in the air. Shorts must be visible at all times.

Shorts/Pants: Our standard length for shorts is finger-tip length. Shorts must also be loose-fitting. No shorts or pants with words across the seat are to be worn at any time. Shorts must be visible under longer shirts. Leggings are not to be worn as pants.

Shoes: Shoes must be worn at all times unless at the pool. Close-toed shoes or shoes with a strap going across the top of the foot and around the heel (i.e., Chacos or Tevas) are required during all activities, with the exception of to and from the pool.

Swimsuits: Men must wear swim trunks (no Speedos). Women must wear modest one-piece swimsuits. Two-piece swimsuits will be permitted provided they completely cover the abdomen area even with hands in the air. No low-cut swimsuits are to be worn. If necessary, girls may wear shirts over their swimsuits as long as the shirts are not white. It is highly recommended for girls to wear shorts over their swimsuit.

Tattoos & Body Piercings: While at camp, it is suggested that all piercings be removed for safety reasons. Some campers love shiny objects. If you do not choose to remove, please only use studs. Our missionaries will wear no naval, eyebrow or tongue jewelry at camp (this is a safety issue). At the discretion of the camp directors, any tattoo that may be viewed as inappropriate will need to be covered at all times.

G E N E R A LCell Phones & Laptop: To avoid distraction and fully immerse yourself in the Barnabas experience, laptops are not to be brought to camp. We do not allow the use of cell phones at camp for any reason. If you need to make an emergency call, there are phones available.

Alcohol, Illegal Drugs & Tobacco: Our staff does not condone or personally use illegal drugs or tobacco. We do not condone the abuse of alcohol or allow for drunkenness.

Sexual Behavior: We love all of God’s people and we know sin takes many forms. We do not condone premarital sex and homosexual relationships in accordance with God’s laws.

Revised April 2019.

C o d e o f C o n d u c tEVERYONE at Camp Barnabas is expected to follow our Code of Conduct explicitly—it’s comprehensive and falls into three main categories:Physical Safety & Security: Always respect the other person’s physical boundaries. Camp is not the place for physical relationships of any kind. Verbal Communication: Always use appropriate verbal communication. There are no exceptions. Summer Staff Specific: While everyone on camp property is expected to follow the Code of Conduct outlined regarding physical boundaries and verbal communication, there are additional expectations for Summer Staff.

Physical Safety & Security:• No kissing• No sharing of shower or bathroom stalls• Everyone sleeps in his/her own bed• No hitting, kicking, slapping, or punching• No tickling or touching of private areas• No touching of private areas (this includes slapping someone on the rear)• No physically demeaning humor (snuggies/wedgies etc.)• No walking about the cabin without covering private areas (not even campers of same sex)

Verbal Communication:• No lying• No gossiping • No name calling of any kind (even jokingly)• No talking about another’s physical body• No profane language or use of slang terms (homo, fag, etc.)• No discussions of a sexual nature

Summer Staff Specific:• No camper or missionary is to be taken off alone• Do not give individual gifts of a personal nature to campers• Do not show favoritism to a particular campers• One-on-one counseling or private conversation is to be done in a public setting (seen but not necessarily heard)• Summer Staff should always hold other staff accountable.• Summer Staff should be above reproach at all times.• Open Door Meeting Policy: No Summer Staff should be with a member of the opposite gender behind a closed

door or private area at any time. If a one-on-one meeting is required, it should be done in a clear, visible place where others are present.

CONSEQUENCES: Any infraction of the above policies will be immediate grounds for dismissal with no chance for re-hire or return to Camp Barnabas. A violation of one of these policies might not only be misunderstood by others but could also result in legal consequences.

Two caregivers are required to be present at all times for safety, this includes during hygiene administration. If your camper requires additional assistance in their daily living activities and you would like more information on how we train or administer this care, we would be more than happy to speak with you. Please call 417-476-2565.

3 - 6 - 0 S a f e & S e c u r e P o l i c yBased on our Code of Conduct, the following rules and boundaries have been established in order for our staff, missionaries, and campers to have a safe, secure, and enjoyable experience at Camp Barnabas. Understanding and following these rules/boundaries will help everyone have the time of their life at camp!

“3” Rules• Recognize unacceptable behavior. You must know and understand the Code of Conduct so you can easily recognize what is acceptable and unacceptable behavior. The 6 Boundaries outlined below will help, too.

• Resist unacceptable behavior. No staff member, missionary, or camper should ever feel uncomfortable or unsafe at camp. Everyone has the right to say NO and remove themselves from the situation or distance themselves from the person making them feel uncomfortable or unsafe.

• Report what makes you feel uncomfortable or if a rule has been broken. 1. Tell cabin staff or the Camp Director 2. Write a note and put it in the Comment Box (at the Well House) 3. Tell a nurse in the Well House 4. Call 1-800-4-A-CHILD

“6” Boundaries1. Modesty: Private body parts should be covered at ALL times (swimming, to/from shower, dressing, etc.) NO EXCEPTIONS. Never display your private body parts to anyone or touch someone else’s.2. One-on-ones: You should NEVER be alone with a camper or youth where others are not present. There should _always be a third person present or in view. Never tell a camper a secret or tell them “not to tell”. We have no secrets at Camp Barnabas. NONE.3. Good Touch vs. Bad Touch: Appropriate touch includes high-fives, short side hugs, arm around the shoulders, etc. and makes your camper or peer feel safe and encouraged. Inappropriate touch is any touch that makes your camper or peer feel uncomfortable (touching private parts, hitting, pushing, lap sitting, etc.) Refer to the Code of Conduct for additional examples.4. Good Talk vs. Bad Talk: Always encourage one another with positive, pure, uplifting speech. Negative, disrespectful, sexual, and/or profane language will not be tolerated.5. Bullying: Camp Barnabas has zero tolerance for bullying. If you are bullying someone (or they perceive you to be) and they ask you to stop, you MUST stop. If you observe or are the target of bullying, report it immediately.6. Your Territory: Your body, your space, your stuff, your bed are off-limits to everyone else. No one should be in your territory without your permission and you should not be in their territory without theirs.

“O” (Zero) ToleranceIf you decide not to abide by these rules and boundaries, you may be immediately dismissed from camp.
