Code of Conduct

Parish contacts are responsible for the youth they accompany. Each parish should send one adult for every six youth. Adults should review these guidelines with each participant before they arrive at the rally.

Each participant and their parent(s)/legal guardian must sign below to indicate that you understand and agree to abide by these guidelines:

· I agree to have the best possible time at the OACE Extreme Challenge, and to share the spirit of Christian joy, friendship and sportsmanship with other participants. I understand that because of the nature of the games, I must listen carefully to all instructions and not to engage in any unauthorized activity or horseplay, which could cause harm to myself and/or others.

· I agree to follow all instructions.

· I agree to be prompt and on time to scheduled events, and to participate in all the day's activities.

· I agree to wear my Extreme Challenge badge in a visible spot during all activities.

· Alcohol, Cigarettes, Vaping/E-Cigarettes, Weapons or Illegal Drugs are strictly prohibited. I agree neither to use or possess them nor to be present while others use these substances.

· Christ-like behavior is expected of me at all times. Inappropriate contact, touch, gestures, language or activity of an offensive nature is NOT ACCEPTABLE.

· I agree to respect all property of St. Dominic Archdiocesan Center. I shall not destroy nor remove any property of the facility. I will be financially responsible for any damages that I may cause.

YOUTH: I agree to abide by this Code of Conduct. As a representative of the Catholic Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, I am asked to project an image of Christian consideration, sensitivity and respect for others and the property around me. Infractions of these codes will result in Event Staff/Youth Leader discussing the infraction with me. In the unlikely event that a behavior problem requires action, my parent(s) or legal guardian will be notified and I will be dismissed from the event. My parent(s)/legal guardian will be expected to pick me up or I will be sent home with my adult chaperone at my own expense.
