Because of legal and liability issues there are a few rules that need to be put in place.  In recent years these have been generally understood but now they will be on paper and on the web site for everyone to see. 

1.  Chores are an important part of the gathering.  Many hands make light work.  Everyone 12 years of age and over will be assigned up to 2 chores, and will be required to complete their assigned chores.  If you can not complete your chore you must either find someone to switch chores with you or find someone to complete your chore for you, and it must be someone not already assigned to the same chore (in other words if 2 people are assigned to cooking duty, we need 2 people.   Do not ask someone already assigned to cooking duty to cook for you as well).  Any changes must be noted by you on the chore chart.  In addition, feel free to lend an extra hand (clean up, cook etc) as you are able. 

If you do not complete your chore, find a replacement or switch with someone, you will automatically be assigned to the very next kitchen duty (prep, cooking, or clean up) or any other chores required. 

If your chore is tending to the campfire, that involves starting the fire in the evening, keeping it going until everyone has left the fire and putting it out.  If you can not stay to keep the fire going or until everyone has left, it is your responsibility to find another adult to replace you.  If no other adult can be found, the fire must be extinguished until the next night.   There must always be a responsible adult present at the fire at all times.

2.  Quiet Hours are taken seriously.  It is important that people take advantage of what FLT Gatherings offer during the day times. Quiet Hours are enforced so that:
 
-it’s easy for people who want to sleep, to do so.
-cabins are quiet.
-everyone is safe
-we show respect for the camp rules, in order to be invited back

Quiet Hours will be from 11:00 pm until 8:00 am unless otherwise stated in the camp rules (some camps have different hours).  When quiet hours begin everyone must be either in the lodge or dining hall, a cabin, or at the fire, all with a responsible adult at all times.  If there is no responsible adult present then you will need to return to your cabin. 

3.  No one (including adults) is allowed to leave the camp property without notifying one of the gathering coordinators.  All minors will need to have their parent (or an approved responsible adult) accompany them if leaving camp property.  

4.  No guns of any kind (including but not limited to airsoft guns, paintball guns, and toy guns) allowed at a Gathering unless approved by the Gathering Coordinator prior to arrival at the Gathering. 

5.  No fireworks of any kind allowed at any Gathering.

6.  Sexual activity by unmarried minors is prohibited, regardless of consent by either minor or their parent or how sexually active each party is outside of Gatherings. 

7.  No alcohol allowed at any FLT Gatherings

8.  No illegal substances allowed at any FLT Gatherings.

9.  No abusing another person physically or emotionally at any FLT Gathering.

10.  No swimming except during approved swimming hours, when supervised by a lifeguard.  This also includes absolutely no night swimming.  If a camp pool is closed for the season that means no one is allowed in the pool or pool area at any time during the Gathering.

11.  It is the parent(s)' responsibility to supervise their children, and provide for their guidance and safety while at FLT Gatherings.

-If you see any rules violations please report them to the Network Coordinator or one of the Gathering Coordinators immediately.

**Anyone in violation of these rules may be asked to leave the gathering.  Those repeatedly violating the rules may be banned from attending future Gatherings. FLT stands for Families Learning Together and is about families, these rules are in place to provide a safe and fun environment for families of all ages. **

*A responsible adult is someone over the age of 21 who is willing and able to be responsible for you and your actions.*

Rules may be added as necessary for the safety and protection of the group.
