WINTER YOUTH RETREAT/CYC POLICY
ACCIDENT INSURANCE - As parent/guardian, you will be responsible for any and all property damaged by your child when he/she is at camp. The C.E. Dept. provides secondary insurance coverage and will not be liable for any expenses beyond that which is covered by insurance.
ACTIVITIES - We offer a variety of recreational, cultural, and spiritual exercises to develop the person into the total person God wants him/her to be.
ADMISSION POLICY - Crusader Youth Camp is open to all who are willing to maintain the camp's Christian standard. We do not discriminate against any person regardless of race, color, or national origin.
ARRIVAL & DEPARTURE TIMES - On the day designated for the beginning of your weekend, you should arrive on the campus between 5:30 and 7:00 PM. The retreat ends at 11am on Sunday.
TELEPHONE CALLS - Campers are not permitted to make or receive phone calls while at Crusader Youth Camp. We only have one phone and it is heavily used for business purposes. In the event of an emergency, parents may speak with a director to have the message relayed. A seasonal phone is installed on the camp site. The Camp phone number is 910-891-4236.
TUITION, DISCOUNTS & REFUNDS - Final payment of your tuition is due upon registration on the day the retreat begins. For accurate record keeping, an application MUST be filed for every camper. If your church is paying your way, a signed statement by the responsible party must be presented at registration. A refund of any unused portion of your tuition, less registration fees, will be given in the event a camper has to leave the camp because of injury, or a personal emergency which in the opinion of the director is beyond the camper or parent's control. No refund will be given when the camper leaves camp because of homesickness, discipline, family vacation, etc. No discount will be given for late arrivals.
VISITORS - CYC maintains a very active schedule. Therefore, off campus visitors are discouraged. When a visitor does come on campus, he/she must immediately check in with the Camp Director. All visitors must obey all camp rules and leave before lights out. A $4.00 donation for each meal would be appreciated. Food must not be brought on campus by visitors. Overnight visitors are not permitted without Camp Director's prior approval.

Was Held: Friday, February 20-22(Ages 15-17) Friday, March 5-7 (Ages 12-14)
The retreat began on Friday evening at 5:30 PM and
ended at noon on Sunday.
220 of our youth, ages 12-17, participated in this Winter Youth Retreat 2004.
This year's retreat promised to be an action-packed, fun-filled, and most importantly of all, a life changing experience with the Creator of the Universe, Jesus Christ. Our theme this year is Crushing Insecurity.
Satan is a liar and one of the biggest lies he wants you to buy into is that a life of insecurity is your destiny. At Winter Youth Retreat our goal is to empower you to crush Satan's lies that hold you hostage to insecurity and help you develop a self-image based on truth.
For youth ages 15-17, WYR was held at CYC, February 20-22. For youth ages 12-14, it was held March 5-7.
