30 Hour Famine 2009 Guidelines and Expectations Below you will find a list of the rules that are to be followed while participating in the 30 Hour Famine. These are in place to help ensure the safety and well being of each participant. We ask that you, the parent/legal guardian and your teen sign the bottom of this slip as a statement that you both understand and plan on adhering to these expectations. 1) Each youth must follow the guidelines set forth by the leaders at the beginning of the Famine. 2) Listening to and being respectful of your chaperones is of the utmost importance, as we will maintain a level of trust and respect with you as well. 3) There will be absolutely NO possession or use of alcohol, tobacco products, or drugs while participating in this event, or we will be forced to send you home immediately! We reserve the right to check anyone’s bags for these products and or for weapons, should suspicion arise. 4) No one is allowed in a sleeping room of the opposite sex at any time!
Because we feel that these rules are important in making the 30 Hour Famine safe and fun for everyone, the breaking of these will result in consequences. These will range from a warning, loss of privileges, and possibly being sent home in the worst of scenarios.
