Campers must remain on campus for the entirety of camp. No visitors will be allowed on campus without express permission from the Camp Director. Please contact the Camp Director at least two weeks prior to camp with any concerns. <br> -The RIOT staff spends a lot of time in prayer allowing the Holy Spirit to guide the process of crafting crews. As part of that process, RIOT does not accept any friend requests for crews. Please be assured, there is plenty of time for friends to be together in the mornings, afternoons, during worship, games, and in the evenings. We encourage you to use the time during the day at work sites to step out of your comfort zone! <br>- If your camper arrives with any symptoms and/or a body temperature of 100.4, or greater, they will be sent home by the camp nurse and may not return without having been fever free for 24 hours.
