Alpine loves having sponsors here to engage with campers. However, for the safety of every child and guest on our facility, we have several rules we ask sponsors to abide by. Please refrain from taking campers off campus, entering camper cabins, or assuming duties assigned to a counselor. Under no circumstances should any adult be alone with a minor.
