Personal Items:

- Outta Bounds Events is not responsible for any personal items that may be lost, stolen, broken or covered in chocolate pudding.
- Campers will get dirty and it is very likely that somewhere along their camping experience, something will get lost. We urge you not to send your camper in clothing, jewelry, etc. that has sentimental or high monetary value.
Camper Expectations:
- Campers are expected to come to camp ready for fun with a positive attitude.
- One of our standing guidelines is for campers to try every activity for at least a few games or a few minutes. We encourage participation and work to create an environment that is emotionally and physically safe.
- Campers may engage in heavy physical exertion due to the nature of our activities. Alternate activities can be provided if necessary.
- Campers of various ages may be together throughout times during the day, so we appreciate parents’ guidance in the dress and language of their preteen and teen campers.
