What is a group?
Groups are defined as one adult leader to six youth participants. The following four categories describe the different attendees to summer camp:

Group Leader: This is the person organizing the trip and serving as a contact person to the Life Teen Headquarters. The Group Contact must be an adult, age 21 or older, who is actually attending the camp with the group. Written and verbal correspondence takes place between the Group Leader and the Life Teen staff.

Adult Chaperone: Someone attending the camp to chaperone the youth. Chaperones must be 21 years of age or older. Adult chaperones must comply with your home Diocesan Youth Protection Policies. Life Teen requires a copy of the certification for each adult attending any camp.  It is the responsibility of the Group Contact to ensure that all chaperones are in compliance. They must be able to carry out the role of supervising/ disciplining the youth of their group, leading small groups, and active participation. Keep in mind this is a camp experience; physical and spiritual fitness is highly encouraged. The Group Leader can be considered one of the Adult Chaperones.
**If you have male and female campers attending camp, you MUST have male and female chaperones. Priests DO NOT count as a male chaperone.

Youth: Campers. These include incoming freshmen (entering 9th grade) through graduating seniors (Class of 2009) for Life Teen weeks.  EDGE youth are incoming 6th graders through graduated 8th graders.  If you notice incoming freshman will be encouraged to go to either camp.  Please prayerfully consider the appropriate camp week for your incoming freshman.  

For the effectiveness of summer camp and for the good of all involved in summer camp, there must be at least one but no more than three adults per six youth. Please take into account these ratios when determining the number of spots you reserve.
i.e. If a group brings 9 youth, five female and four male, that group would NEED to have two Adult Chaperones, one male and one female.

Priest: We encourage you to bring your parish priests or even the neighbor priest.  Any and all religious are welcome to join us for camp for the entire week or even just part.
