Guidebook 07 – Adult Registration
Adult Criterion
- Counselor applicants must be at least 21 years of age by September 1, 2009. Staff applicants and companions for students with special needs must be at least 19 years of age by September 1, 2009. (No exceptions!)
- Applicants must be able to articulate their faith in Jesus Christ and be willing to readily share that faith commitment with others.
- Applicants must have a heart for young people. Current participation in youth ministry will be considered in the selection process.
- Applicants must be willing to operate within the guidelines and framework of CHIC 2009.
- In order to protect students attending CHIC 2009, criminal background checks are required for every adult wishing to serve at CHIC.
Adult Applications
Adults positions at CHIC:
- Counselors work with groups of 5 to 10 students (typically from their own church) to provide oversight and spiritual guidance at CHIC.
- Staff are assigned positions in a wide variety of roles (see Staff Job Description form) to help provide the opportunities and services necessary for a successful CHIC experience for all participants.
Adults who meet the criterion and would like to serve at CHIC 2009 must complete the application process and be accepted to attend CHIC 2009.
In most cases, adult applications will be mailed by the CHIC Contact using a group registration form. In some cases (such as churches without youth attending CHIC 2009), staff applicants may be accepted individually, but in these cases payment must still be made using a church check. Staff applicants must submit their application with the group registration form and not individually.
Adult applications must be postmarked by May 8, 2009. Please see the adult instruction sheet, included with the adult application, for more details.

Adult Orientation And Training
For both quality assurance and liability issues, every adult attending CHIC 2009 must complete Adult Orientation and Training, no exceptions. Adult Orientation and Training covers Counselor training, reviews the standards of conduct, informs volunteer staff of their specific duties for each role, and provides valuable information for all adult volunteers.
Adult Orientation and Training is online, as it was for CHIC 2006. Specific details concerning Adult Orientation and Training will be included in future publications and available through your Conference or Regional Liaison. Please direct any questions regarding the online training to your Conference or Regional Liaison.
