Church Camp Background Check Policy
​At Creek Week Camp, the safety and well-being of our campers and staff are our top priorities. To ensure a secure environment for everyone, we are implementing a background check policy for all attendees who are 18 years or older and not participating in a Cell Group.
Who Needs a Background Check?If you are 18 or older and not part of a Cell Group, you must either:

• Complete a background check through our service before camp begins (the camp will cover the cost), or
• Provide proof of a clean background check that has been completed within the last three years.

Disqualifications
For the safety of our campers, individuals may not attend camp if:

• They have a sexual or violent crime on their record within the last five years or at any time as an adult.
• They have any felony conviction within the past five years.

How to Complete Your Background Check

• 2025 Camp Season: We strongly encourage all background checks to be completed ahead of time to ensure a smooth check-in process. However, onsite background checks will still be available if needed.
• Starting in 2026: Background checks must be completed at least 30 days before camp begins, with limited exceptions made on a case-by-case basis.

Next Steps

• If you need a background check, complete the form below. Creek Week will cover the cost. Please complete it before arriving at camp if possible.
• If you have a recent background check (within the last three years), bring documentation to camp check-in or email it in advance.
• Have questions? Reach out to Michael Weatherford, camp registrar, for assistance.

We appreciate your cooperation in making camp a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone!
