Terms and Policies

Facility Purpose Statement

Tranquility Wyldes facilities are intended for use by disciples of Jesus who want encouragement, fellowship, and refreshment. Although the facilities are not generally open to the public, the Wyldes makes its facilities available to approved groups on a case-by-case basis as a means of demonstrating the Gospel of Jesus Christ in practice.

These facilities may not be used for activities that contradict, or are inconsistent with, the Camp’s beliefs, as summarized in the Camp’s statement of faith. This restricted facility use policy is necessary for two reasons. First, Tranquility Wyldes may not in good conscience materially cooperate in activities or promote beliefs that are contrary to its faith (2 Cor. 6:14; 1 Thess. 5:22). Second, Tranquility Wyldes must present a consistent public witness to the community through its stewardship of its property. Allowing facilities to be used by those who express beliefs or engage in practices contrary to the Wyldes faith would have a severe, negative impact on the message that the camp strives to promote and could cause confusion and scandal to the Wyldes’ members and the community. Therefore, only events that are consistent with the camp’s religious beliefs, as determined by the Directors, shall be permitted.

Approved Users
The Directors must approve all Tranquility Wyldes facility use requests. Priority shall be given to Tranquility Wyldes-sponsored groups or activities.

In the Wyldes’ sole discretion, Tranquility Wyldes facilities may be made available to individuals or groups (the “User”) meeting the following qualifications:

1. The User must affirm that the planned facility use does not violate the Wyldes’ Statement of Faith.
2. The User must agree to abide by the Wyldes’ rules of conduct for facility use, as stated below and as described in any additional instructions by the Wyldes staff.
3. The User must take responsibility for the facilities and equipment used.

1. Users may only enter and use those areas of the facilities that have been reserved.
2. Alcohol and illicit drugs are prohibited.
3. Smoking is prohibited.
4. Sex-specific changing areas, restrooms, and showers are to be used by members of the designated biological sex only.
5. Camp equipment must be returned to original placement, unless arranged otherwise prior to the event.
