Chaperone Policy

At Word of Peace we make sure our Youth are well cared for and have ample adult supervision and interaction.  Due to the growing number of Youth wanting to participate in events sponsored by Word of Peace, we felt the need to also put in place a standard for the number of adults as well. 

The Youth Team, Director of Youth Ministries and Pastors agree that a ratio of at least 6 to 1 is needed.  That is, for every six (6) youth that sign up one (1) adult needs to be present.  This does NOT include the Youth Director.  If the quota is not met then we will only allow as many kids as chaperones according to the ratio.  So parents, if you see that space is filling up and more and more kids are planning on coming, please consider spending some quality time with a large group of middle or high school youth.

In the case of mission trips or national youth gatherings Word of Peace heeds by the guidelines and policies outlined by the sponsoring organization.

Mission Trips:  Youthworks! Can I come with my teenager on this trip?  YouthWorks trips are geared for students entering 7th grade to graduating high school seniors. However, we do require 1 adult leader for every 5 junior high students and 1 adult leader for every 7 senior high students. Talk with your church’s Trip Leader to see if they need any additional adult leaders for the mission trip."

Wilderness Canoe Base: WCB website.  "Both Canoe and Hybrid trips have a maximum group size of 8 including 1 adult over the age of 21. Multiple groups per congregation are welcome."

National Youth Gathering: ELCA Website.  "The ELCA Youth Gathering is, and will always be, a ministry by, with and for teenagers. For that reason we cannot support a one-to-one ratio of adults to youth. We have noticed, however, and want to be supportive of, a growing connection between caring adults and young people in ministry. The ideal youth to adult ratio is 5 to 1, but the only ratio we insist on is one adult for every ten youth, and we encourage at least one adult for each gender represented in a group. Adult leaders must be at least 21 years of age at the time of the Gathering."

Summer Camp:  Summer camp does not require chaperones because of the abundance of staff provided by the camps themselves.  However, we do need adults to ride to and from the camp on the buses to insure safety.

Note: A standard background check is required to become a chaperone of Word of Peace events.
