Your Conference Program

Most groups plan their program and arrange their own speakers. Our desire is that the Lord is honored and the purpose of Streamside be upheld. Those reserving a weekend will receive a packet of helpful information for planning a retreat including a listing of nearby activities.

Supervision Standards

All groups high school age and younger MUST have at least one responsible counselor for each cabin group. This is a MINIMUM standard and in most situations it is probably advisable to have more staff. Adult groups are expected to have responsible leadership within their groups so that the standards and purposes of Streamside are upheld. Each group is responsible for any breakage or damage other than that considered normal wear and tear of the facilities.

Group Living Standards

In order to maintain both a Christian testimony in our community and to accomplish the purpose adopted, guests are requested to adhere to the following:

  1. The highest standards of moral conduct are to be maintained.
  2. Guests are to be in their cabins from midnight until 6:00 AM.
  3. There is to be no smoking, drinking, card playing, or conduct unbecoming to the Christian on the grounds.
  4. It is requested that radios and other audio equipment NOT be brought to camp unless their use is directly related to the program of the sponsoring group.
  5. Men are not permitted in the assigned women's areas and woman are not permitted in the assigned men's areas.

Feel free to contact the Director with any questions regarding any of these standards. It is the responsibility of group leaders to make sure that all guests understand these standards and abide by them.

Linens & Bedding

Guests generally furnish their own linens, however, pillows, pillowcases, blankets, sheets, towels and washcloths are available for a nominal rental fee of $1.00 per piece on a first-com first-serve basis. These can be reserved for your group in advance. Let us know how we can help.
