Joshua Expeditions Guidelines for Group Leaders Inspiring Purpose

Chaperones are part of your group to help with order and discipline. It will be your responsibility as the group representative to communicate this to your chosen chaperones and to enforce the rules and regulations set forth both by Joshua Expeditions and by your school. Below are guidelines that JE follows and that we would like for you to share with your chaperones. Please take some time to review these guidelines, then sign and return this form to your JE coordinator. Your support is greatly appreciated! Please return completed forms to our office via mail or fax (877-603-9817).

JE’S EXPECTATIONS FOR GROUP LEADERS

The Joshua Expeditions guide reserves the right to stop a trip at any time if the following standards are not maintained and there is serious risk to travelers and/or the reputation of our ministry.

1. No minor students or adults may consume or purchase alcohol, tobacco products or illegal drugs for the duration of the trip. 2. Profanity may not be used at any time by students or adults. 3. Boys and girls, men and women are not allowed in the rooms of members of the opposite sex. 4. It is the responsibility of the group leaders to chaperone and provide student discipline on the trip. School representatives (chaperones) must know the whereabouts of students at all times. Students must never be unsupervised. The JE guide may not act as a school chaperone or be left alone with a student. 5. During free time, students must be in groups of three or more and accompanied by an adult. 6. One-piece swimwear and modest casual dress is expected of every traveler. 7. A devotional and/or group discussion will be led daily by a JE guide or school representative. 8. Participation in all group activities is required. 9. Students not abiding by JE policies and/or the school’s rules may be sent home (at the student’s expense) by the joint decision of the school’s leadership and the JE guide. JE encourages schools to adopt a traveler pledge or contract prior to their trip. A sample Traveler Pledge has been included in your destination packet for you to use or adapt. 10. Requests for changes to the approved itinerary may not be made after the trip begins.
