asked to leave the campground premises.

Quiet Time: Quiet Time is from 10:30 p.m. until 7 a.m. Quiet time will be strictly enforced. (See
enclosed Quiet Time Policy.) Clubs disregarding this policy or the camp’s
regulations will be ejected from the camp. Please instruct your Pathfinders to model
appropriate conduct and observance of all regulations. We will accept nothing less than
complete compliance.
Campfires &
Firewood: Campfires are permitted in designated areas only. Fires must always be attended and put
out completely with water when not attended (do not let them smolder). Remember to
keep full water buckets at a safe distance from the fire in case you need to extinguish the
fire quickly. Firewood collection in the park is limited to fallen limbs, no cutting of
standing trees. To prevent the spread of forest pests please plan to purchase your
firewood near Burlingame State Park. Firewood is available at the camp store.

other Scouting organizations in the United States. Many professionals and young adults are involved
as volunteers and staff for this organization.

The purpose of Pathfindering is to lead its members (typically grades 5-10 or age 10-16 years) into a
growing relationship with God, build its members into responsible, mature individuals and to involve
its members in active, selfless service. Those in the TLT (Teen Leadership Training) or Ambassador
level programs are typically grades 8-10 or age 14-18 years of age, and are an integral part of the
Pathfinder Program. Pathfinder leadership makes an effort to create opportunities whereby members
will learn about God, nature and how to serve others through various community projects and events.

The Pathfinder Camporee is an event whereby all clubs within the Southern New England Conference
area participate in camping, learn new outdoor and team-building skills, interact with other Christian
Pathfinders, and develop a relationship with Jesus. We are requesting that your employee, who is an
active member or volunteer of the Pathfinder organization be excused from work to attend this special
event as a chaperone and/or counselor.

If you desire further information regarding Pathfindering, please feel free to contact our office at the
telephone number or address shown above. Thank you for your support and consideration.

Adventist Risk Management, Inc.
Personal Vehicle Usage Guidelines
Adventist Risk Management does not recommend the use of non-owned autos on approved
events. If non-owned vehicles are used, however, adhere to the following guidelines:
Adventist Risk Management’s auto insurance policy provides coverage for non-owned
vehicles on an excess basis. It is designed to protect the organization, not the vehicle owner. In
the event of an accident, the vehicle owner must go to his/her insurance company first.

 Make sure drivers understand that their personal auto insurance is “primary”.
 Refer to the North American Division Working Policy, section S 60 31 Vehicle
Insurance and Section Y 29 Automobile Policy.
 Must be at least 21 years old.
 Copy of the Drivers License.
 Employees and volunteers who use personal vehicles on an infrequent basis must
carry a minimum of $100,000 per person/$300,000 per occurrence limits of liability.
(See Section Y 29 20 3.b for regular use insurance requirements.)
 Copy of the driver’s proof of insurance (insurance card).
 Do not allow a person with a poor driving record (at-fault accidents, moving
violations) to operate a vehicle on behalf of the church.
 Make sure the owner understands that his insurance is responsible for any damage
done by the vehicle or to the vehicle.
• If someone other than the owner will be driving the vehicle, obtain information on
the owner’s insurance (company name, policy number, and policy term) and give
this information to the person who will be driving the vehicle. The driver will need
this information if an accident occurs.
• Verify that the vehicle is in good working order.
• Agree with the owner or driver on who will be responsible for any comprehensive
or collision deductibles that might apply to damage done to the borrowed vehicle.
• Do not overload vehicles.
• Require occupants to wear seatbelts.
•For long trips, ensure that there are sufficient drivers so that no one is required to
drive more than three hours at a stretch.

Every insurance policy contains limits, conditions, and exclusions. Read the policy carefully,
because it may not respond to all claims for damage.

SNEC YOUTH/CHILDREN’S MINISTRY VOLUNTEER CODE OF CONDUCT
My Commitment to Volunteer Ministry - As a Youth/Children’s Ministry Volunteer, I will:
1. Provide appropriate adult supervision at all times for the children for whom I am responsible.
2. Have at least one other adult, eighteen (18) years of age or older, to help with the supervision of
children. If I find myself in a situation where I am the only adult present, under no
circumstances will I allow myself to be alone with one child (the “two-person rule”). This
protects the child as well as protecting the adult from possible allegations.
3. Ask a child’s permission before physically touching him/her anywhere, even when responding
to an injury or problem. This is especially true for any areas that would normally be covered by
a T-shirt and/or shorts. If an injury is within this area, make sure another adult works with you
as care is provided.
4. Refrain from physical and verbal attacks and corporal punishment which are inappropriate
behaviors and should never be used as discipline. “Time outs” or “sit-in-that-chair” may be
helpful discipline methods to use with children.
5. Affirm children with appropriate touching by keeping hugs brief and “shoulder-to-shoulder” or
“side-to- side.” I will keep hands at (not below) the shoulder level. For small children who like
to sit on laps, I will encourage them to sit next to me.
6. Provide extra care when taking small children to the restroom. I will take another adult along,
or leave the door open.
7. Be aware of conducting activities in rooms that do not have an interior viewing area, or I will
leave the door open during the activity to allow easy observation by others.
8. Cooperate with the volunteer screening process and complete the Volunteer Ministry
Information form, as required by the church.
9. Be aware of the signs and symptoms of child abuse and aware of the legal requirements for
reporting suspected cases of abuse. In addition to any legally required reporting, I agree that if I
become aware of any behavior by another individual which seems abusive or inappropriate
towards children I am supervising, I will report that behavior to the church pastor, elder, or
directly to the Conference Treasurer’s or Risk Management Director.
10. Cooperate with church leadership in conducting children and youth ministries by being a
volunteer who is loving, kind, firm, and always a thoroughly professional person. Working
with children and youth is not only a privilege; it is also a serious responsibility that must be
approached with utmost care.
11. Participate in orientation and training programs conducted by the church.
12. Uphold the standards of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

Acknowledgment
Because I want the best possible environment for our children and youth to grow up in, it is important
that those working with children have guidelines for conduct in order to protect both themselves and
those under their care. As a ministry volunteer, I want parents and others to feel comfortable and
confident with me.

SABBATH ACTIVITIES FOR CLUB TIME
Overview:

On Sabbath there will be several times in the schedule that allow for Club Time, after
breakfast, after lunch, and before and after supper. During this time, each club will be
responsible for planning appropriate, supervised Sabbath activities. Our personal choices
regarding appropriate Sabbath activities will vary widely, please remember that we are
camped as a group and our actions will be seen by others who may be offended by something
we do. One specific area has been a concern in the past. Please do NOT allow your
Pathfinders to play with any type of ball during the Sabbath hours. Also, Please review Paul’s
advice in Romans 14 about creating stumbling blocks for others. We already know that
recreational sports (e.g. soccer, football, baseball, basketball, etc.) are stumbling blocks for
many and so should not be part of your activities during the Sabbath hours. Directors we
need your help with supervising these Club Times. Please be proactive and have a plan to
keep your Pathfinders focused and on a positive path.

“The Sabbath was made as a gift for human beings! [. . .]


 A day to worship God
 A day to grow closer to God and learn more about Him
 A day to grow closer to each other as {Pathfinders,] families and friends
 A day to discover the delights of God’s creation
 A day to explore the Bible
 A day to share God’s love with others
 A day to celebrate being a child of God” 1

Please find below a list of activities that could fill this time:

Activities:

Tree-Visiting2
Things you need: Blindfolds or scarves (neckerchiefs work well)
What you do:
1. Blindfold a person and take them on a wiggly walk ending at a tree.
2. Guide their hands and body to explore the tree. Feel the bark, leaf, roots, width, low
branches, and anything else they can reach from the ground.

Karen Holford, 100 Creative Activities for Sabbath (Pacific Press Publishing Association, 2006) pg 9.
2
Karen Holford, 100 Creative Activities for Sabbath (Pacific Press Publishing Association, 2006) pg 28.
3. Take them on a very wiggly walk away from the tree
4. Remove the blindfold and see if they got to know their tree well enough to find it.
Things to talk about:
 God’s amazing creation of trees and why they are made the way they are
 God created our senses and how much we depend on our vision, but also how useful
our sense of touch can be
 Make a list of trees mentioned in the Bible. What trees are mentioned? Which Bible
stories have special trees in them?

Bible-Story Scavenger Hunt3


Things you need: Bibles, small container, such as a paper bag, basket, or bowl for each person
What you do:
1. Make sure each person has a small container and a Bible
2. Invite them to choose a story from the Bible and to read it carefully and silently, so that
nobody else knows which story they have chosen.
3. Then each person needs to go on a scavenger hunt through the camp to find three
things that are mentioned in the story, or their modern day equivalents.
4. When each person has found three things, the containers are placed on the table and
everyone tries to guess the story that each collection of objects represents.
5. When all the stories have been guessed, everyone returns the objects they chose to their
proper places, and the game can be repeated.
Variations:
 Play this game on the beach; each person could create a sand sculpture of a scene from a
Bible story. Then everyone can tour the sculptures and try to guess which stories are
being represented.
 Play this game with sidewalk chalk; each person could create a chalk picture of a scene
from a Bible story. Then everyone can tour the pictures and try to guess which stories
are being represented.
 Play this game using charades, an acting game in which one player or a group of
players acts out the story using physical rather than verbal language to convey the
story.

Other Ideas
1. Study the Sabbath School lesson
2. Go on a nature walk
3. Rest time at your camp site
4. Visit other clubs
5. Bible board games e.g. Bible Scattergories, Bible Blurt, Bible Pictionary, Miracles and Pitfalls,
Egypt to Canaan, etc.
6. Bible sword drill.
7. Puzzles

SABBATH AFTERNOON ACTIVITIES

1. SCAVENGER HUNT – NATURE


Clubs are asked to stay within outlined boundaries, set by the leader. The leader calls out one of the
instructions listed below, and the clubs are given 15 minutes to run and do or find whatever is
needed. Everyone gathers in the center of the playing area to discuss each action or direction.

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Count something so that you know more about it after you have counted it than you did before
you counted it.
2. Find objects that are: hard, big, high, dead, wise land use threatening soft, small, low, calming, sad,
funny, ugly, important on poor land use, unhappy, happy, beautiful, unimportant off living wasteful
useful.
3. Look for an object that has a geometric shape in its structure. Think about why it has that shape.
4. Find and bring back a sound (something that will make this sound) that makes you feel; angry, sad,
beautiful, afraid, happy, and tough.
5. Find an unpleasant odor. Can you describe the smell? Find an odor that you like? Describe it. Can
you think about why some things smell good and others don't?
6. Find the oldest thing and try to guess its age. What are ways of determining the age of something?
7. Find an object that has the texture of: smooth, rough, slippery, shiny
8. Find a change that is predictable.
9. Look for a natural object that has five parts.
10. Find an object that has at least four colors showing.
11. Take a familiar object from the unnatural environment. Find and demonstrate a new use for it in
the natural environment.

2. Swamp
Divide the group into clubs. Give each team a large piece of paper and a pen. Each letter in the word
SWAMP stands for another word that describes something in nature:

S - STARS
W - WEATHER
A - ANIMALS
M - MINERALS
P – PLANTS
On "GO", each team writes down as many words as it can think of that relate to the word STARS. The
only stipulation is this: they must be able to SEE what they write down from where they are sitting
(e.g. sky is where stars are seen; clouds cover up stars on a dull night).

Each team has five minutes to write down as many words as possible (at least 5 words per letter).
Then continue with the words WEATHER, ANIMALS and so on until all letters of the word SWAMP
have been given equal time.
At the end of the writing session, the leader tallies the number of words to see which team has the
sharpest eyes, and the most vivid imagination (some teams may have to explain their rationale
behind writing down certain words -the leader may not understand how they relate to the 'master'
word!)

You will be amazed at the children's imaginations.

3. Sabbath Symphony
The purpose of this game is to discover the beautiful sounds that can be created by the natural objects
in our environment.

Each club is given 10- 15 minutes to find objects in nature that make a noise when banged together, or
blown on, or rubbed together.

Each musician is allowed to 'tune' his instrument, so the rest of the group can hear the different
sounds. If a player can play more than one instrument at the same time.

4. Light Weight Race


Contestants carry a lighted candle in one hand and a glass or bowl brim full of water in the other. If
the water is spilled over or the candle blows out, the contestant is out of the race.
As Christians we are to keep our light always lit in spite of the adversities in our way.

5. Race for the Rainbow


Each Club has to bind at least one object in nature or anything outside that matches each color of the
rainbow. For each item, they have to come up with a meaning of the color. The first one to get
everything, wins.

6. Back Draw
Break your young people down into clubs. Have the kids sit on the floor (or in chairs) facing back to
front in their teams (similar like that of a train). With the group in single file lines, give the persons on
the back of the line an object to draw. That person then is to draw the object you gave them on the
back of the person in front of them with their finger. Then the next person does it likewise and so on
and so on until the person in front of the line draws on paper what you gave the person on the back
of the line. The first team done and draws the best picture wins!

7. Who's Line Is it Anyway?

The Leader will have different Bible characters on a slip of paper and they will be placed in a bag.
Then, each club will come up with different situations for the "actors" to act out (each club will pick
their actors). To begin the game, draw out a situation and according to the number of actors needed,
draw out that number of names. For example, Jonah being swallowed by the whale and then spit out,
you need a minimum of two actors. This activity will get even the shyest person in your club to join
in and it brings loads of laughter.

8. Digital Charades
- Clubs to bring their own cameras.

9. Movie Clip Discussion – BRAVE


- DVD, projector, screen, discussion questions

10. Sing-n-Share
- Pastor and the Praise Team

11. Hiking Trail

12. Hand Written Bible
