SUPPORT STAFF INFO
RESPONSIBILITIES
General Areas of Responsibility
• Maintain one’s self in a manner consistent with spiritual maturity
among the students.
• Be responsible of the camp administration team.
• Cultivate positive morale among the other support staff and students
through efforts of personal loyalty to them.
• You will be assigned a group of students, for whom you alone are
responsible.
• You will sleep in the same room with them, eat with them, participate
in the activities with them, attend services with them and pray with
them.
Specific Areas of Responsibility
• Become acquainted immediately with each student during small group
times and attend daily support staff meetings at 8:00am in the cafeteria.
• Be responsible to see that your group, along with yourself, attends
each session and activity an time.
• Monitor the room of your students, checking for neatness and
cleanliness throughout the week.
• Deal with minor disciplinary problems related to camp rules (couples
getting too physically involved, too much roughhousing, inappropriate
clothing, etc.)
• Lead group in wrap questions at the end of each night.
• Complete the Spiritual Progress Report forms on a daily basis and
turn them in of the Support Staff Director each morning.
• Complete final room check on Friday. Be sure rooms are neat and
orderly. Please remain at site until your room has been checked.
• After lights out, you should remain in your assigned room. Support
staff should abide by the general camp curfew.
RESPONSIBILITIES
• Be available to pray with students around the altars during the evening services.
• Refrain from yielding to any romantic inclinations during the camp. These kinds
of distractions can hinder you and can potentially create unhealthy attitudes.
• Adhere to the guidelines established by the “General Camp Rules.”
• During delays such as rain, please remain with students at all times.
• Encourage your students to enter into the recreational period enthusiastically.
Help the timid students to enter into group participation.
• Support stall members need time all, but their first responsibility is to the student. Prepare time all carefully. Never leave your students unsupervised for an
extended period of time.
• Know your physical limitations. A tired or sick support staff member doubles the
workload for someone else so take advantage of rest periods.
• Do not try to advice in a field that you know nothing about. If you don’t have an
answer, admit it, and ask far same help from the camp leadership.
• Teach your group Christianity, cleanliness and sportsmanship. At all times, be
firm, fair and friendly.
• Please use cell phones during free times only.
DISCIPLINE
You will be the key to successful discipline. Your skill in dealing with
students determines, to a considerable degree, how well the students
will enjoy and benefit from their stay.
• Discipline only in the spirit of Christ. When a student breaks the rules,
help him/her understand why we have that rule. The rules are far the
students’ protection and safety. Don’t use them as a club or a symbol of
unpleasantness.
• In the matter of “lights out.” Remember that a certain amount of
nonsense is part of a camp program: however, we must respect others
and the fact that students need plenty of rest. Gentle firmness to the
rules will usually salve the problem.
• You must insist your students attend all meals, activities, morning
sessions and evening services. If they protest, claiming sickness,
contact the Support Stall Director for a settlement.
CHILD ABUSE POLICY
It is the policy of the Heartland youth camp staff that cases of suspected child abuse
or sexual molestation be immediately reported to the Camp Director. The Camp
Director will advise the District Youth Director. The DVD will contact the Marrow
County Child Protective Service and report the situation.
The DVD and the Camp Director will determine whether additional notification (i.e.
parents. pastor. legal attorney of the Ohio Ministry Network. etc.) is necessary.
Reporting Responsibilities
Any camp staff volunteer or paid personnel who reasonably believe in good faith
or who suspects that abusive behavior has occurred or may have occurred should
report the alleged act immediately, according to the following report pattern:
Child or Youth: Discloses allegation of abuse to adult staff
Adult Staff: Reports immediately to the DYD or Camp Director
DYD or Camp Director: Advises the Camp Director of the situation and determines
if any further notification is necessary.
DYD or Camp Director: Informs Morrow County Child Protection Services.
*Explain to them our procedures – Both of you will have to go to the DYD and
Camp Director and appropriate measures will be taken (consistent with abuse
flow chart).
*Inform camp leadership immediately – with the student present, repeat the
situation to the Camp Director. He will serve as a filtering system to confirm
what has been reported.
*The Camp Director must contact the DYD immediately with the following
information: Abused student’s name; age and birth date; parents’ or guardians’
names; abuser’s name, address and phone number; other siblings in the
home. It will be our responsibility to give our camp address, the camp director’s
name and also the abused student’s pastor’s name. The DYD will then contact
Children’s Services.
Our Goals in Dealing with Abuse Cases
• Protect the victim.
• Correct the abuser.
• Restore healing and right relationship with Gad to those involved.
HELPING HURTING STUDENTS
Start by letting the student know that there is hope, and by reminding yourself and the student
that Gad and God alone is the source of hope for help and healing. You have nothing to offer
apart from God’s help, so make sure that you take the time to acknowledge your dependence
upon Him by praying for wisdom (James 1:5) and intervention (Psalm 32:8). Pray with the
expectation that God will heal and deliver, because only He can.
LISTEN--”lf one gives an answer before he hears, it is his folly and shame” (Proverbs 18:13.
ESV). In order to provide the best help, it’s critical that you understand what’s going on.
Be comfortable with silence. Give the teen the space to tell you about his or her struggle.
Ask clarifying questions to help understand all the issues. Often, just processing the situation
enough to communicate it to a safe listener gives the student a clearer picture of his own heart.
RESPECT--As a youth leader, you already know how important respect is to teenagers. Your
helping relationship with a hurting teen must also be marked by mutual respect. “with all
humility and gentleness and bearing with one another in love” (Ephesians 4:2 ESV). Respect
the student’s worth as a younger brother or sister in the faith.
Don’t talk down to students or belittle their experiences. Respect the position of trust you have
been granted in their life. Remember, you may not be able to promise complete confidentiality,
depending on the situation. But you should always be sensitive to the student regarding how
confidential information is shared with parents or other authorities. Respect their boundaries,
and expect them to respect yours. Never counsel a student behind closed doors: meet in
the church office (with someone else there and the door open), or in a public place. Don’t
manipulate or exploit the student, and don’t let yourself be manipulated or exploited either. It’s
necessary for you to stay objective.
GUIDE--”Let the wise hear and increase in learning, and the one who understands obtain
guidance” (Proverbs 1:5 ESV). Providing spiritual guidance is an art form that bath good youth
workers and goad parents will forever strive to perfect. While the perspective and wisdom you
have as an adult make the answers obvious (“quit calling him,” “break up with her.” “confess
your sin to your parents.” “tell the truth.” etc.), communicating wisdom to a teenager in a way
they can both understand and accept is the real challenge.
Try to draw attention to the underlying issues, not behaviors. Once the deeper issues
are identified, address them with Scripture. Apply the truths of Gad pertaining to identity,
acceptance, guilt, anger and love to the teenager’s heart. Pray for the Holy Spirit to open his
eyes and enable him to see.
CHALLENGE--As you provide guidance and direction, you may need to challenge false beliefs
or flawed perceptions. “I understand it may seem like no one cares, but that just isn’t true.” Is
the student’s issue directly connected with an incorrect assumption or a false belief? You have
been trusted to speak into a teenager’s life. Don’t be afraid to be direct and speak the truth in
love (Ephesians 4:15).
REFER--You’re a youth leader, and mast likely not a licensed professional counselor, social
worker, or therapist. Know when you’re out of your league and pass it off to someone better
qualified.

ACTIVITIES
SMASH HOURS
ACID RAIN
This relay race has every team facing a large barrel that will be filled with
plastic balls and guarded by an angry fire hose. The object of the game
is to, in relay race fashion, send one person at a time to go under an
obstacle, take a ball out of the fire-hosed guarded barrel, and then return
with the ball (not through the obstacle). The next person in line will put
the ball back into the barrel. You will send students until the designated
number is reached.
BOUNCY BALLIN’
Each team will gather in the designated parking lot and will designate
a various number of balla’s to retrieve bouncy balls that will be violently
set free each round. Each round there will be different numbers of
participants from each team and different amounts of balls being let go.
There will be a time limit for each round and balla’s can only get one ball
each round unless designated by the activities guys. The team with the
most bouncy balls collected by the end of the last round will be the best
ballin’ team!
HEARTLAND 500
This game will happen in the parking lot, where there will be a race to
complete a race track while rolling and flipping tractor tires. 2 people will
be rolling tires around the track while 2 more will be flipping tires around
the track. Sound like a lot of work? We know you will be TIRED!
HOSTAGE RESCUE TEAM (HRT)
This messy relay race will have their team members, one at a time, run
through a gauntlet of obstacles to find “hostages” in a mix of mess. In
the gauntlet you will have to go under standing apparatus, then under a
crawling apparatus, and then over a large apparatus in order to retrieve a
hostage. Your one team member will retrieve a single hostage and run it
back to your team captain, then your next team member can attempt the
course. Once the designated number of hostages have been found from
the mud pile and returned, your team will win!
LEAKY BUCKET
Each team will send a designated number of players at a time with a “leaky
bucket” to retrieve water from the fire hose. The teams will take their “leaky
bucket” to their team’s blue drum/trash can and pour whatever water that
they could contain. You cannot plug the holes, only cover them with body
parts. The team with the most water at the end will win.
ORB RUN
Each team will try to get through the obstacle course of a slip-n-slide,
gladiators and the fire hose while wearing an orb suit. This game will be a
relay to see who can finish first and stay on their feet.
THE PONY EXPRESS
This final event on Friday morning separates the winners from the whiners
as you attempt to conquer this legendary camp race. It’s an entire-team
encompassing, entire-camp encompassing, gigantic relay race. 37
individuals compete in events and then hand the baton to the next team
member until all are accomplished. Your entire team will then run across the
finish line. You will need to use your time wisely during the week to prepare
for this final event. Start your recruiting NOW! You will have some time on
Thursday to plan for this event, but you might want to start earlier.
THE PUZZLER
Each team will get send three to four players connected together at a time
to find puzzle pieces strategically placed in the field. After all the pieces
have been successfully retrieved, 3 more people will put together a puzzle
to win the game.
TIC TAC THROW
This race will require speed and intelligence. Your team will compete
against another team in a game of Tic Tac Toe, but not your typical way to
play it. It will be a lot of running and thinking as each round your team will
compete to win.
TIRE WARS
The field will be set up in a giant circle with a chair for the team captain
by each cone. In the center of the circle, there will be a huge pile of tires.
Each team will send a designated number of students per round to drag
as many tires as they can back to their team captain. Each round will
alternate between boys only and girls only. Once a team captain touches
any tire, it will be considered won for their team. The team captain needs
to stay seated the entire round and cannot move their chair while the round
is still going. If more than one team grabs the tire, it will be settled the old
fashioned way: who wants it more? You can only grab tires, not people,
during the war. The most “tired” team will win.
SMASH HOUR OVERVIEW
Monday is SWEAT
Tuesday is WET
Wednesday is MUD
Thursday is WINDED
THINGS TO KNOW
ROOM CHECKS
Every day, each room can get points for their team with what we like to call
the 3 C’s = Cleanliness, Creativity and Caring. Clean is a sweet smelling
room that is spotless. Creative is doing something creative to your roam
to make the Activity Directors smile, like decorating it to a theme. Caring
is leaving some love (i.e. drinks. candy. etc.) for the Activity Directors.
The more you WOW the Activity Directors, the more points you’ll receive!
Rooms are typically evaluated with a four-tiered system: (1) just one of the
two C’s designated for the day, (2) just the basics of both C’s, (3) pretty
good, and (4) WOW!
Tuesday: The goal today is to have a clean room with some creative idea
that will “wow” the judges. Please do not make a mess!
Wednesday: The goal today is to have a clean room with some creative
team spirit and best represent your team in your creativity.
Thursday: The goal today is to have the cleanest room possible with a little
bit of caring for the judges.
MIDDAYS
Prior to Smash Hours (messy games), there will be a “hyped” time when the
activity guys perform skits, announce the results of games, room checks
and scores in the Oakwood sanctuary. You will need to have your team
ready to cheer loudly with team spirit and be unified and enthusiastic!
BELT BLITZ
If one of the activity directors is wearing a championship belt during the
week (not on the stage), the first 3 support staff to tag them will receive
points for their team. Warning: You􀀥 will have to run and chase them! Students cannot touch the activity directors at any time during a blitz.
Period.
YOU
As support staff, everything hinges on YOU. If you want the kids to have
a great attitude, then you need to lead the way and be the example. If you
want the kids to participate and get dirty, then YOU have to do the same. If
you want the kids to cheer and get excited for their team, then YOU have
to do the same. Everything rises and falls on leadership and WE BELIEVE
IN YOU! Help us make this week each camper’s best and most memorable
week of their year!

DODGEBALL CAPTURE THE FLAG
Instructions:
• Play - A dodgeball game played in a giant circle, separated into four
quadrants (or pies). It is called sand dollar because it is generally
played with five teams, but this year it will be played with four teams in
four quadrants. Each team will have the same designated amount players and one designated quadrant of the circle to defend.
• Starting Play - Each boy’s team plays with six players in each of their
quadrants. Girls will play with seven in each.
• Initiate Play -- They must throw the dodgeballs and eliminate the
quadrants around them. In order to eliminate the opposing team, a player may I) catch an opposing player’s ball. 2) Hit an opposing player with
a toss or 3) force the other player to step out of their quadrant. If a ball
hits you at any time, you are out (even a ball that has already hit the
ground). You must dodge all the dodgeballs thrown.
• Scoring -- Each time a quadrant has all its players eliminated, the
conquering teams, located directly next to the eliminated team, can now
storm the now vacant quadrant. When only two teams are left, the support staff members will call a free for all, meaning that there is no center
lines (just outer circle) and it’s dodgeball with the remaining players
in the entire circle until another team is eliminated. Once all the other
teams are eliminated, the remaining team wins the round. You will play
as many rounds as time allows.
• Defense - You may not use a ball to block in sand dollar dodgeball.
You must catch or dodge. When a ball hits you and you cannot control it
(i.e. catch or pick it up cleanly), you will be out. If you catch an opposing
team’s ball, the thrower is out, but no players re-enter the game. If you
go out of bounds to catch a ball, you will be out.
• Out of bounds - Any ball that leaves the circle is a dead ball until it is
thrown back into play. If a current player steps out to get a ball, they will
be out. Those not playing currently can toss a ball back in play.
• Substitutions - Support Staff members can substitute players not in
the game after each round.
Instructions:
HI FIVE
Concept – This is a mixture of football, ultimate Frisbee and basketball.
Initiate Play -- Each team plays (Girls) 7-on-7 and (Boys) 5-on-5. The
team with the possession will start at their backboard and start to throw
the football down to the other backboard to score.
Play – The offensive team must begin to move the football down the
field by passing from one team member to another. Defenders must
give at least a 3-feet cushion to the throwing team.
Movement of the Ball -- The football may be advanced in any direction by completing a pass to a teammate. Players MAY NOT RUN with
the ball. Receiving players may use their momentum to stop, but no
more than 2 steps. The person with the football (the “quarterback”) has
ten seconds to throw the ball. Each team is trying to throw the football
through the square hole in the opposing team’s backboard.
Scoring -- Each time the offense tosses the ball through the hole in the
defense’s backboard, the offense scores a point. Play is initiated by the
other team after each score.
Change of possession -- When a pass is not completed (e.g. out of
bounds, drop, block, interception), the defense immediately takes possession of the ball and becomes the offense. The defending team may
knock down a pass, but not knock the ball out of the opposing player’s
hands to take possession. If a player steps out-of-bounds while holding
the football or the football is thrown out-of-bounds, the defending team
takes possession and heads the opposite direction from the spot where
the football went out. If the ball hits the backboard and is caught before
it hits the ground, it can be played again. The moment the ball hits the
ground for any reason, even after hitting the backboard, it’s the opposing team’s ball from that point.
Non-contact -- No physical contact is allowed between players. Picks
and screens are also prohibited.
Substitutions – Support Staff members can substitute players after a
score and/or during an injury timeout.
POWERBALL
Instructions:
• Starting Play- Each team plays 6 offensive and 4 defensive players.
• Set Up - 5 total trash cans= set up I in each earner of the field and
one in the middle.
• Objective - ta get the ball into the trash cans before you are struck by
the defenders.
• Scaring- when the offensive team gets the ball in the earner cans
they scare I paint. if they get the ball in the center can they get 3 paints.
Rounds end when either the offensive team scares or the defensive
team stops them. The offense maintains possession as long as they
continue scaring.
• Rules of Play - Players must stay inside the boundary at all times. If
the ball is dropped or hits the ground for any reason, the round is over
and the defensive team takes possession.
