The form below is a copy of the behavior agreement that all students attending Crossings 2015 will sign before we leave on June 21, 2015.

Relationships/Dating
Parents are asked to inform their students that the intention of this camp is not to find a spouse/significant other. Please remind your student(s) that dating will not be permitted while at camp. I have had multiple issues with students trying to find significant others. I do not intend to have those problems this year. We encourage our students to make new friends while at Crossings, but if the relationship becomes romantic to the point of our students participating in sneaking away, hiding from adults, kissing, holding hands, taking photos of any of the previous acts and posting said pictures to social media, and/or arguing with any adult volunteer about this policy at camp, the student will be asked not to return to Crossings in 2016. If offenses become too severe, the student will not be permitted to join The Depth at Crossings in 2016 and parents will be notified to come to camp to transport their student back home.
The drive is four hours from Pocahontas, AR to Hardin, KY.
What to Bring
Ready to pack your bags? Below you’ll find a list of the essentials you’ll need for camp.
All students must bring at least $10.00 to be placed in an envelope with their name on it. The spending money will be returned to the student for lunch on the way home. Please provide enough spending money for your student to eat lunch on the way to camp as well. ($10.00 will be plenty)
Please do not send your students with sugary snacks to be eaten in the room. We want the students to go to bed on-time in order to be up on-time for the next days activities. Little Debbies do not help with this process.
