+   Each group must send a minimum of one adult for every five youth.      Churches must send sponsors of the same gender as those youth who      will be participating.

+   In order to maintain this ratio, adult sponsors may be asked to supervise      youth from another congregation up to a maximum of five youth.      Confirmation of registration is dependent on the availability of      sufficient adult sponsors for each gender and/or the gender      requirement.

+   Churches with small congregations that find it difficult to meet the      sponsor/participant ratio should contact the Mo-Ranch Program Office      for assistance in securing appropriate supervision for their youth.

+   Mo-Ranch has a zero tolerance policy regarding child abuse      (including,but not limited to physical, emotional or sexual abuse).      Mo-Ranch sponsors must also abide by the Rule of Three (2 youth      and 1 adult) or (2 unrelated adults and 1 youth) to ensure safety for      all guests. No adult shall be left alone with a minor; therefore, a      minimum of two youth will be assigned to hotel housing when a      sponsor is to share the same room.  A reasonable ratio of adult      workers will be maintained in each situation involving the      supervision of minors. Mo-Ranch staff and volunteer directors will      supervise on an ongoing basis and may make unannounced visits      into classes and other program sites during the conference.

+   Sponsors are responsible for the behavior of their youth at all times.

+   Sponsors are asked not to bring non-participant children to the      conference.

+   Each sponsor is expected to participate fully in all conference      activities and to facilitate home group devotions.

+   Sponsors are responsible for seeing that their youth attend all the      activities.

+   Sponsors are expected to maintain a positive attitude because it will      make a difference in the atmosphere of the conference. Your attitude      has a direct effect on your youth and on your own enjoyment. You are      an important role model!

+   Sponsors are expected to see that youth observe afternoon rest      times and lights out each night, eat regularly, drink plenty of      water, and remember to use sunscreen!

+   Sponsors are expected to stay on Mo-Ranch property during the entire      time of the conference.

+   Sponsors will receive an information packet containing all necessary      forms. Visit the Youth Registration Forms tab to download the forms. 

+   Each sponsor is required to have a national background check      on file before arriving at Mo-Ranch. Every background check must have      been run within 24 months of the conference and include social security      number verification, a criminal super search (includes Nationwide Sex      Offender Registry search) and a terrorist search. If needed, Mo-Ranch is      able to complete the background check for each sponsor. The sponsor      will need to complete an authorization form and add $8 (non-refundable)      to their registration fee. Background checks are due as early as possible.      Authorization forms are accepted up to 1 week prior to the start of      the conference.  In addition, each sponsor must read and sign the      Mo-Ranch Child Protection Policy form.

+   Sponsors are encouraged to be open to all the good ways God is at      work.
