GYV Guidelines for Staff & Participants:
GYV’s Honor Code outlin
es each person’s responsibilities as Village members. Yet, the Honor Code goes beyond what one might find in a typical camp, addressing issues of how we view and treat one another, in addition to articulating who we aspire to be. (GYV’s Honor Code was written jointly by past participants and staff.) Each participant and staff is expected to:
-
Be open to new ideas and willing to listen;
-
Respect other people’s point of view, cultural differences and music;
-
Participate fully in camp activities;
-
Resolve conflict through communication;
-
Engage in non-exclusive, open relationships which avoid cliques;
-
Enjoy a primarily vegetarian (ovo-lacto) diet for a period of time;
-
Abstain from tobacco, alcohol & illegal drugs.
Details about other key personnel policies will be provided to those selected for interviews.
