OCF Event Covenant 

I will hold myself to the highest standards of behavior while at this OCF event. I will maintain a Christian attitude and participate fully in the event. I will refrain from participating in illicit or illegal activities while at this event and will encourage others to refrain from these activities as well. I understand that in the context of a spiritual retreat, smoking and drinking, even if I am of a legal age, are distractions from the purpose of this event and I will refrain from participating in these activities during this OCF event. I will adorn my body in a Christian fashion, seeking to display modesty and allow for the true focus of the event to hold the attention of others. I will respect myself and others and refrain from acting in any way as to cause discomfort or disrespect to others, this includes no men and women in each others' sleeping space. In return for my commitment and positive attitude, I will have the opportunity to interact with my peers in a weekend of fun and fellowship. I understand that OCF's leaders will do their best to provide an enriching environment in which I can thrive, both spiritually and socially. I understand that the clergy, lay people, and student leaders supervising this OCF event have the right to request I modify my behavior if they believe I am conducting myself in an inappropriate fashion. I further understand that failure to uphold this covenant may result in my expulsion from the event with the possibility of being asked not to return.
