Important Policies
No Smoking Lutherdale is a non-smoking facility and staff members are highly discouraged form smoking. Use is not permitted in any camp building and not allowed outside of the designated smoking area, (outside of the gate near the south house) which may only be accessed during designated times. We believe we have a responsibility to our entire community to eliminate smoking from our facility and to strictly enforce the policy as it is stated in our application and contract documents. This includes but is not limited to cigarettes, chewing tobacco, vaping, and the use of e-cigarettes. The possession or use of illegal drugs including the misuse of medication prescribed to another person is cause for immediate dismissal.
Screen Free Lutherdale is a scree-free environment, meaning that camp is about the people and the experiences they create for themselves and share with others throughout the week without the distraction of technology and access to the outside world. Campers are not permitted to bring ANY electronic devices with screens. Staff will be limited to use their devices throughout the work day, particularly when campers are present. Lutherdale Summer Staff are required to be present and in the moment with the camp community.
Additional Responsibilities All Lutherdale Support Staff and Leadership Staff will often also provide coverage of campers. This could look like sitting with a cabin during a meal, spending time with a cabin during rest hour, covering for an activity, and many other scenarios. You need to be ready and flexible to help out where and when you are needed, even if it is not what you are used to.
