GUEST GUIDELINES

Welcome to Pioneer Camp and Retreat Center! We sincerely hope your stay with us is filled with joy and peace. When new
Christians asked St. Paul what rules they should live by, he replied, “Whatsoever you do in word or deed, whatsoever you eat or drink,
do all to the glory of God.” At Pioneer we believe this is the primary rule needed to govern everyone’s behavior.
However, we are aware that people have differing expectations and levels of acceptance of other’s behavior. There are also state and
federal government regulations to consider as well. In order to provide you with an enjoyable and safe stay at Pioneer Camp and
Retreat Center, we offer these guidelines and ask for your cooperation. Thank you.
