How to Register Your Group

Important Dates

Once you have been notified that space is reserved by a $100 non-refundable, transferable to another year if necessary, deposit, you will want to begin to plan to make a first payment for each person you hope to have attend Life Builders Youth Work Camp by January 31, 2009.

This deposit of $100 per person you hope to have attend is refundable until April 15, 2009, when the final payment is required to be sent to the office. At the time of the first payment a break down of males and females is not required. A total number expected to attend is only needed.

The second payment must be post-marked by April 15, 2009. At this time the registration forms for each person attending is necessary. Information from the forms is needed so we can place an order for t-shirts and to order food for the weeks of ministry.

After April 15, 2009, you may still add people to your group at the late fee, and people may be replaced without any financial penalty. However, if after that date you lose attendees and can not replace them, you will receive a refund of the fee paid, minus the $100 non-refundable deposit fee per person.

Materials to be submitted

Each person attending a week of Life Builders Youth Work Camp must have the following on file at the office by April 15, 2009:
-Registration and Liability Forms filled out and signed
-Skills Inventory Sheet completed
-Copy of health insurance card

To download, print, and make copies to hand out of the Teen Registration Materials click here; Adult Registration Materials click here.

It is STRONGLY suggested that you make copies of all materials submitted so you have their registration information available in case something happens while on the trip. In fact, making a copy of each person's paper work for each vehicle brought is a great idea. You never know when a person may not still be in the vehicle where their paperwork is held.

When submitting paperwork, we are ok if you print on both sides of the paper.

Adult to Teen Ratio Expectation

We require at minimum of 1 (one) adult for every 5 (five) teens per gender attending Life Builders Youth Work Camp. This not only assists in managing your group, but also helps in developing intergenerational relationships within your church community.

While you are seeking adults attendees, a suggestion is to find people who have some of the skills listed on the Skills Inventory Sheet. By having a great number of skilled adults and small adult to teen ratio, teens will be better able to learn new skills, which they can use at home or build upon in the following years of attending Life Builders.

Child Protection

Christian Endeavor-MidAtlantic's Life Builders Youth Work Camp Ministry takes protecting children, teens, and adults very seriously. To ensure all who attend are protected and provide help in the case of accusations, we require that every person 18 years of age and older have background checks completed and on file at your church's office. The form will be available to you in the sign in area, with the username and password provided to you by the office after you register.

We require that a completed Child Protection Agreement Form is filled with the office. This form lists all who are 18 years of age and older, and requires that the Sr. Pastor and a leader of the church's official board/presbytery/council signs it as well stating that all forms are on file at the church.

Doing this not only ensures safety of all who attend Life Builders Work Camp, but it also assists your ministry and church in doing ministry after Life Builders.

For Pennsylvania residents click here to get the forms for (1) Pennsylvania Criminal History Check and (2) a “Child Line check.” Remember, we do not want them turned into with your registration materials. Instead, keep them on file at the church office for future use. Only have the Child Protection Agreement Form filled out and sent to the office.

Other states: Please use the regular background checks used for teachers of the public school.
