                        Dear Campers & Parents,
                        We are excitedly anticipating our 72nd year of Conservation Camp.  
                        As always, our goals are to help each child develop skills in conservation, 
teamwork, leadership, sportsmanship and an awareness of the outdoors.  
                        In order for us to provide for the safety and well-being of our campers 
while we work to accomplish these goals, we have
                        the following rules:
                        
                        1. Campers must be 9-14 years old – they must have
                        had their 9th birthday and not yet reached their 15th.
                        
                        2. Registration forms and the $180.00 camper’s fee
                        must be returned ONLY to C.O. Mollenhour Conservation
                        
                        Camp, Camp Registration, 12522 S 600 W Silver Lake, IN
                        46982 no later than July 1, 2010.  The camp is limited 
                        to the first 80 registrations.  Payment must be made upon 
                        registration.  If an organization or individual other 
                        than a parent or guardian is sponsoring a camper, a check 
                        or a letter from the sponsor with the sponsor’s name and 
                        phone number included MUST accompany the registration 
                        form.
                        
                        3. Check-in will begin at 2:30 P.M. on Sunday. 
                        Please – no early check-in’s!
                        
                        4. No camper will be admitted without a 
                        signed “Consent for Medical Treatment” form on file to be
                        turned in at registration.
                        
                        5. The camp Director should be informed if any child has 
                        special needs so that consideration can be made towards
                        those needs. To contact campers, (EMERGENCY ONLY!!) 
1-260-352-2367.

                        6. If there is a valid reason that a camper must leave or
                        be visited by parents during this week, special 
                        arrangements need to be made with the Camp Director 
                        during the check-in time.  Should an emergency arise 
                        during the week, please call the camp to inform the 
                        director of your needs.  Separation of the child from the 
                        parent is part of the camp experience.
                        
                        7. Each camper is to provide a sleeping bag, pillow, 
                        extra blankets, extra towels, toilet articles, insect 
                        repellent, sun screen, flashlight, bathing trunks, one 
                        piece swim suits (girls), clothing for five days and rain 
                        gear.  Flip-flops are to be worn to and from the showers 
                        ONLY!!!!!  Athletic equipment or fishing gear may be 
                        brought to camp, but the camper must assume full 
                        responsibility for these items.  The camp cannot be 
                        responsible for lost or stolen items.  Please make sure 
                        all items are marked with your child’s name.
                        
                        8. DO NOT BRING BLOW DRYERS, VIDEO GAMES, RADIOS, KNIVES,
                        POP, MONEY OR FOOD.  Please do not send items of value 
                        with your child.
                        
                        9. Swimming is only allowed during specified times and 
                        under the supervision of a lifeguard.  (We use the “buddy 
                        system” as an additional safety measure.)
                        
                        10. Each camper is expected to help keep the camp clean 
                        and in working order as well as cooperate with 
                        counselors, other staff and fellow campers.  Any damage 
                        to camp property will be the responsibility of the
                        camper’s parent or guardian.
                        
                        11. We will make every effort to make each camper’s stay 
                        an enjoyable one, but cooperation is very important.  The 
                        Camp Director reserves the right to send a camper home at
                        the parents expense, if they become unmanageable.
