Each cabin leader should assume leadership, as needed, and make necessary decisions.

Prepared to deal with campers regarding personal decisions for salvation and/or dedication for Christian service. He or she must be also able to lead evening cabin devotions.
Willing to enter wholeheartedly into the spirit of the camp and participate in the total camp program.

I have read the cabin leader requirements and carefully answered the questions in this application. I agree wholeheartedly to enter into the spirit of the camp and participate in the total camp program. I will fulfill my responsibility as part of the camp leadership staff, following the chain of command from cabin leader to camp director.

By signing this application, I give my authorization to the High Sierra Discipleship Camp Committee to verify the information on this form. They may contact references and appropriate government agencies as deemed necessary in order to verify my suitability to work at camp.

PHOTO RELEASE: I grant to the representatives High Sierra Scholarship Camp and Sugar Pine Christian Camps the right to take photographs of myself in connection with any HSSCamp activities. I authorize High Sierra Scholarship Camp and Sugar Pine Christian Camps, its assigns and transferees to copyright, use and publish the same in print and/or electronically. I agree that High Sierra Scholarship Camp and Sugar Pine Christian Camps may use such photographs, videos or other likenesses of myself without my name and for any lawful purpose, including, for example, publicity, illustration, advertising, and Web content.

We serve at HSDC in the tradition of the apostle Paul, working for the glory of God and not the pleasing of men (Eph. 6:5-8). Paul willingly made himself a servant to all (I Cor. 9:19) and willingly did all tasks necessary to win the lost (I Cor. 9:22). God pleads with us to present our bodies as a living sacrifice in Romans 12:1. The Bible calls this our ‘reasonable service.’ We encourage you to come to camp with a servant’s heart, willing to be used to win souls and change lives!
