Training
Camp Deans are required to do a face to face training once every 2 years or if they are a new dean. The training is available every year. The 2018 Dean Training was held on Saturday, March 3rd. A video of the training is available by clicking 2018 Dean Training.
Safe Sanctuary Screening
The Oklahoma Conference of the United Methodist Church (OKUMC) is committed to safe camp experiences for all our campers. As a volunteer or member of one of our camps, you are being called to undergo background screening to ensure that you, too, are committed to creating safe communities of faith.
Safe Sanctuary Screening
OKUMC information
