OK District NYI Camp Director: Reverend Jordan Acre

Student/Adult Registration Form & Sponsor Requirements

In order to provide a safe atmosphere for camp, all churches MUST have adult sponsors for their students (male sponsors for male students & female sponsors for female students). All sponsors MUST have a background check form turned in by the registration deadline date. Background checks should be administered by the local church.

The deadline to submit student forms, adult forms, and payment is indicated on the current announcements. Any registrations received after this date will result in the student/adult paying an additional charge for camp.

If you have any questions about camp, please contact the director by sending an email using the "Send Email" link at the top of this page.

Be in prayer with us as we anticipate the Holy Spirit transforming the lives of students!

The Parent hereby agrees to fully pay all costs of medical or dental care incurred for the Minor by the Agent, or the Organization, under this authorization. Furthermore, Parent voluntarily releases, discharges, waives and relinquishes all claims that they may have against Agent or Organization, its officers, employees and volunteers, for any and all claims, actions, or causes of action for personal injury, property damage or death occurring to Minor arising out of Organization’s administration of or failure to administer medicine or medication to Minor, save and except only those claims due to Organization’s fraud, gross negligence or willful injury to the person or property of Minor or violation of law, whether willful or negligent.

Camp Bond Safe Guidelines

This policy applies to everyone on the grounds including campers, counselors, volunteers, and support staff. And is based on beliefs from Scripture and from the Church of the Nazarene Manual.

Beliefs on Marriage, Gender, and Sexuality Camp Bond operates on a strongly held belief that the marriage relationship has been established by God as a union between one man and one woman. (Genesis 2:24; Ephesians 5:31). Camp Bond further holds that, in accordance with Scripture, sexual intimacy and sexual activity is appropriate only within the marriage relationship, between one husband and one wife. (1 Corinthians 7:2; Hebrews 13:4). Camp Bond believes God has created two distinct and complementary genders, male and female, and each person is created in accordance with God’s perfect design (Genesis 1:27; Matthew 19:4). Accordingly, Camp Bond views the following behaviors as inappropriate and contrary to Scripture:

•  Any sexual intimacy or sexual act between individuals who are not married to one another.
• Any marriage or civil union that is not between one man and one woman.
• Any attempt to adopt or present as a different gender than that assigned at birth.
• Any other activity, teaching, or behavior that is contrary to a biblical view of marriage, gender, and/or appropriate behavior as outlined in this provision.

Camp Bond and all individuals involved in Camp Bond operations, activities, and events are expected to uphold the ministry’s perspective on marriage, gender, sexual intimacy, and appropriate behavior as set forth in this provision. Individuals and organizations who desire to use Camp Bond’s facilities must also act in accordance with this provision.

Personal Conduct

Camp Bond has implemented the following Personal Conduct guidelines in keeping with Camp Bond’s beliefs on Scripture and Article 31 of the Church of the Nazarene Manual.

• If your sex at birth is male, you will be in the male cabins. If your sex at birth is female, you will be in the female cabins.
• No students are allowed to share beds. No sponsors are allowed to share beds, unless in married housing. No sponsors are allowed to share beds with students.  Everyone must stay in their own individual bed.
• If your sex at birth it male, you will use the male bath house or the bathroom in the male cabin. If your sex at birth is female, you will use the female bath house or the bathroom in the female cabin.
• Only one person per shower stall or cabin bathroom.
• A sponsor is not allowed to be alone with a student.
• Two students are not allowed to be alone together in the cabins or any secluded locations.

Sleeveless shirts cannot be cut down the sides. Tank tops and shirts must cover past the waistline. Shorts must fully cover the bottom.

Camp Bond is a part of the Church of the Nazarene; therefore, the Manual for the Church of the Nazarene is the governing document for the camp.
