HEALTH SCREENING QUESTIONNAIRE
When you arrive on-campus, all volunteers must be able to pass our Health Screening Questionnaire. Please know, that you will be asked three health questions when you arrive on campus. If you answer “yes” to any of the questions, you will be asked to leave campus immediately. The questions are as follows:
HOUSING
Your team will be housed in our cabins. The Retreat Center has been reserved for you as a place to fix breakfast and hang out. Please plan to bring all of your food and drink requirements with you.

SOCIAL MEDIA POLICY
Due to security and privacy policies, mission team members are not allowed to post or take photos of placed students.
CELL COVERAGE
Please be aware that coverage in our rural area is spotty. Those connecting via Verizon are more apt to have coverage than those using AT&T.

• Clothing shall reveal no belly, no back, no cleavage, no crack.
