My clothing will be appropriate. My behavior will reflect positive values and attitudes. If I demonstrate destructive behavior, negative attitudes, or cease to be a positive influence with those whom I work with or serve, I understand that I will be sent home.4.    If my behavior fails to support the goals and mission of Family Camp at Camp Koinonia; the Spiritual Directors, and Program Directors, in consultation, reserve the right to dismiss me from my duties as Teen Staff.
