4 SALVATION ARMY CAMPING STATEMENT OF FAITH SALVATION ARMY MISSION: The Salvation Army, an international movement, is an evangelical part of the universal Christian church. Its message is based on the Bible. Its ministry is motivated by the love of God. Its mission is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to meet human needs in His name without discrimination. PURPOSE OF SALVATION ARMY CAMPING: The mission of Salvation Army camping is to serve the needs of campers: physically, socially, and spiritually. For physical needs, our aim is to help campers develop good health habits in cleanliness, proper rest, balanced diet, exercise and care for the body. To meet social needs, the camp provides an opportunity for each camper to contribute to and receive a group living experience. To meet spiritual needs, our goal is to give campers the tools to develop a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ. GOALS OF SALVATION ARMY CAMPING: 1. To promote awareness of God, His love, and through the love of Jesus Christ, to promote spiritual growth and knowledge of basic human needs. 2. To give children, youth, and adults a fun-filled, healthy, safe, educational, and inspirational experience in nature. 3. To help develop an understanding, appreciation, and a sense of stewardship for nature, the natural environment, and for all living creatures. 4. To develop social responsibility by providing campers the opportunity to meet, appreciate, and accept persons of different racial, religious, and cultural backgrounds. 5. To provide a loving and supportive environment where families can learn to cope with and solve their problems. 6. To facilitate creative self-expression through thought, worship, song, work, play, physical activity, and the development of new skills. 7. To encourage each person to participate in planning activities and developing leadership skills. 8. To assist in developing an appreciation of the wonder and joy of the miracles of everyday living. 9. To stress the importance of Christian values by stressing those values in daily living and actions by meaningful discussions, Bible study, and worship. 10.

Yes No List and explain all felonies: Have you been convicted of a misdemeanor(s) within the last two years which resulted in imprisonment/jail?

APPLICANT AUTHORIZATION AND SIGNATURE I certify that all of my answers given here are true and complete to the best of my knowledge, and that supplying false information herein shall result in immediate disqualification for consideration for employment or termination from employment, regardless of when such false information is discovered. I authorize investigation of all statements contained in this application without any obligation to give me written notice of such investigation for employment as may be necessary in arriving at an employment decision; and I hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless each and every current or prior employer in defending against any charge, complaint or suit filed with any Federal, State or local agency, or in any court of the State or Federal government for providing an accurate, factual history of employment information. I understand that neither this document nor any offer of employment from the employer constitutes an employment contract, unless a specific document to that effect is executed by the employer and employee in writing. Michigan law requires employers to make reasonable accommodations to qualified handicapped applicants and employees where the employee makes their need known to the employer, requests accommodation and such accommodation does not impose an undue hardship on the employer. With respect to State of Michigan Persons with Disability claims, persons with disabilities and applicants must request an accommodation of their handicap by notifying The Salvation Army in writing of the need for accommodation within 182 days of the date the person with a disability knows or reasonably should know that an accommodation is needed. Failure to properly notify The Salvation Army will preclude any claim that the employer failed to accommodate the person with a disability, however, this does not waive your rights under the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended. I agree that any action (excluding governmental, statutory administrative proceedings) or suit against The Salvation Army arising out of or related to my employment or termination of employment, including but not limited to claims arising under State or Federal civil rights statutes, must be brought, if at all, within the shorter of 180 days of the event giving rise to the claim or the applicable statute of limitations, or be forever barred. I waive any limitation periods to the contrary, with the exception being that this agreed to limitations period does not supersede the Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or other applicable statutes or regulations that may extend this period as provided by law. I acknowledge that this 180 day limitation on actions forms an Agreement between myself and The Salvation Army. Signature of Applicant Date 8
