General Guidelines for Youth and Adults

Appropriate Dress
All participants (youth and adults) are expected to dress in fashion that represents modesty and good taste, respecting other participants and our Lord. Clothing must cover all undergarments and midriffs. Bikini tops, low cut tops, mini skirts, short shorts, or other inappropriate attire are not to be worn at any time during the conference. Gentlemen are required to wear shirts at all times. Shoes are also to be worn at all times. Clothing that displays profane or offensive messages or images is not allowed. Group Leaders and adult Chaperones are expected to communicate these expectations to the youth prior to the conference and to enforce the dress code at the conference. Violators will be asked to change clothing at the discretion of conference staff.

Upbuilding Speech
All participants are expected to use positive and up building speech during the conference. Foul and abusive language will not be permitted, and appropriate discipline measures will be taken.

First Aid
For any medical or health issue, all participants will be directed to First Aid. This includes migraines, asthma, exhaustion and dehydration. All youth visiting first aid must be accompanied by the group leader or an adult chaperone.

Seat Assignments
- Seat assignments are arranged by color-coded sections that rotate during each of the main sessions. The color of your group’s nametags will indicate which section you are to sit in for each session. We ask for the cooperation of all chaperones in this matter.
- We also ask for the cooperation of all chaperones in regard to saving seats. Signs or items of any type cannot be used to reserve seats. To reserve one row, you must have one person at each end of the row. One person cannot reserve an entire row.
- Participants with special needs will be allowed to enter meeting halls prior to the beginning of the sessions with 2 assistants only.

Alcohol, Drugs, and Tobacco
All state laws governing alcohol, drugs and tobacco will be strictly enforced. Possession and/or consumption of alcohol and drugs is not permitted during the conference. The facility is a non-smoking facility. Smoking is prohibited. Please be aware that Colorado State Law prohibits vendors from selling tobacco products to anyone under the age of 18.

Insubordination
It is expected that youth and adults will follow all directions of all Conference Staff, Security, and Volunteers. Any instances of lack of cooperation or insubordination will not be tolerated and will be subject to appropriate discipline. The first and primary method for dealing with discipline problems will be to work through the Group Leader.
