For the protection of our children, the denominational rooming guidelines offer appropriate policies for adult/minor rooming situations. Each denomination has set unique guidelines, and Faith in 3D will enforce these for the safety of all participants. Should you have questions regarding these policies, please email info@faithin3d.org and your message will be forwarded to the appropriate denominational contact.

 

The Presbyterian Church (USA)

 

  • Youth may only share rooms with other youth of the same gender: Age 12-18
  • Adults may only share rooms with other adults: Age 19+ (keep in mind that Chaperones must be 21 according to Faith in 3D's registration policy)
  • Families can share a room with their teenage children
Rare exceptions may be made for small groups who would like to request to share a room with both adults and youth. In this case, group leaders must submit this form which requires permission from the youth's parents, and youth and adults must sleep in separate beds and use restroom/shower facilities with modesty. All exceptions must have prior approval from the staff of the Office of Ministry with Young People of the PC (USA).

 

 

The Episcopal Church

Adult chaperones are prohibited from sleeping in the same beds, sleeping bags, tents, hotel rooms or other rooms with children or youth unless the adult is an immediate family member of all children or youth in the bed, sleeping bag, tent, hotel room or other room. It is acceptable to have multiple adults sleep with all the children or youth participating in one open space such as a church basement or camp lodge but since participants will be hosted in hotel rooms we ask that adult chaperones not share a room with youth.

 

 

Cooperative Baptist Fellowship

One or two adults can share a room with exactly two youths provided the adults and youth sleep in separate beds. The only way one adult can share a room with one youth is if the youth is a child of the adult. Adults and youth must sleep in separate beds. If unrelated youth and adults are going to share a room, you must bring copies of this form indicating parental consent for the mixed adult/youth rooming arrangement.
