Violence and verbal harassment will not be tolerated. We will inform youth of Drift Creek Camp rules and then will expect compliance, including rules related to respectful use of the conference grounds and facilities, and observance of established quiet times. Youth will leave contraband home or it will be confiscated. Youth will be assigned to a supervising adult and will be responsible for keeping this adult aware of his/her location at all times during the conference. Violations of this behavior contract or disputes between youth will be referred to a conflict resolution panel of youth and adults. If violations are sufficiently severe, consequences can include dismissal from the conference. Transportation: We are happy to assist in transporting youth.
