Church Vouchers


Safe Sanctuaries is a process developed to train and certify persons as safe workers with children and youth in Conference ministries. The policies were adopted in 1999, in response to God’s call to welcome all children and to protect them from the devastating effects of child abuse.


The policy and procedures outline how a person may become certified to work with the above populations. Currently, this requires training and completion of paperwork. The paperwork includes a background check, personal references, and a self-disclosure covenant.


Anyone who is 15 years or older and interested in working with children and youth as well as vulnerable adults in district and Conference level ministries are required to be Safe Sanctuaries certified. For more information, please visit the Conference web site at www.moumethodist.org/ safesanctuaries.


This is the covenant that we have our campers sign prior to their entering camp.


I enter into covenant with my Lord, my counselor, my director and with the other campers for the purpose of creating Christian community while at camp. As part of the covenant, I will:


• Expect the best of others and give my best in our activities together


• Expect to make new friends and to be a friend to others


• Gladly help others and gladly receive help when it is needed


• Participate in all activities as led by the counselors and director


• Respect the camp property and the property of the other campers


• Sing, celebrate and make noise now and then


• Allow my picture to be taken for camp publicity purposes


• Seek to grow in my relations with Jesus Christ by making the most of opportunities for prayer, Bible study, worship and Christian fellowship.


Camp Codes are issued through the Camping and Retreat Ministries Office. If your church does not have a code or for more information on how your church can take advantage of the vouchers, please call us at 1-888-271-1999.

Here is what one mother wrote to us aſt er her camping experience:


Why should you go to family or parent/child camps?


Why should you go to family or parent/child camps?


“‘We enjoyed camp so very much! I didn’t want to go, but knew it was important for my kids. They wanted to go from the minute I asked them and on that day we left they waited for 2 pm to come so we could go. They loved every minute of it! Loved it! And I was touched and blessed in a way that I can’t truly explain. It is something that you have to experience. I became closer to my kids. The lessons touched ME in a way that I’ll never be the same. I cried on that last assignment- walking the trail. The stations were emotional assignments. I LOVED the lookout point and living cross services. Everyone did a wonderful job and made it a wonderful experience. My kids did not want to leave and are so excited to come back next year! Thank you so much for all your hard work.”
