3) No cleats or ball playing in the dorms

4) Any alcohol or illegal substance will be brought to the attention of the appropriate authorities

  We are all looking forward to a great week of camp. Any serious breach of camp rules will result in an immediate expulsion from camp. We would hope that common sense, civility and respect will rule the day.
