What happens if my youth gets in trouble?
All youth are required to follow Crossroads Church’s rules for the duration of Fall Retreat along with Lake Beauty’s rules. Crossroads uses a three-strike policy. Youth get three strikes for violating the rules. On the second strike, parents will be notified. On the third strike, parents will be asked to pick up their youth from the event location. We’re sure this won’t be an issue, but we want you to know!
Wait, I still have more questions!
We know how important your youth is to you! If you have any questions about the event please feel free to contact me.
In this together,
