Falls Creek FAQ's

BACKGROUND CHECKS

If a student turns 18 in the middle of camp, do we need to run a background check before camp?

Yes. In the instance that this happens, complete all needed background checks before leaving for camp.

Do we treat yellow flag and red flag offenses for students in the same manner as adults?

Yes. You will need to pre-screen your students requiring background checks in the same way you would for adult sponsors.

What are some background check companies I can use?

There are 4 suggestions in your Field Guide or here. The important thing to remember in choosing your background check provider is making sure you are receiving a detailed criminal check (state, county, and national criminal background checks) and a check of the national sex offender registry.

REGISTRATION

Can I add students up until leaving for camp even though my account has to be created by May 5?

Yes! Coming to Falls Creek allows you to add students right up until you leave for camp. Creating an account by May 5 does not mean you must have all of your camper or adult information input by that date. Keep inviting and sign ‘em up! (NOTE: Make sure you have time to complete the necessary background checks for any student or adult 18 years of age or older.)

I created an account last year and cannot log back in. Why is that?

You must create a new account each year.

The registration system is saying I am a non-affiliated church, and we are. What can I do?
