Protection Policy

Lipscomb University has adopted the following policies to provide additional security for our campers. These policies are primarily for the protection of our campers however, they also serve to protect counselors and leaders from false accusations of abuse.

• Two counselors are required on outings.
• One-on-one contact between counselor and camper is only permitted in situations that require a personal conference. Personal conferences should be conducted in view of other counselors and campers. Personal conferences not in view of other counselors and campers may take place only when special circumstances require. The counselor immediately shall inform an IMPACT leader of any such personal conference stating the camper’s name and the time and place of the conference.
• Counselors must respect the privacy of campers in situations such as changing clothes and taking showers, and intrude only to the extent that health and safety require. Counselors must protect their own privacy in similar situations.

Our History

IMPACT began in 1992 with 250 campers, counselors, and adults coming together to worship. The main focus of IMPACT is Christ. Whether it is through prayer, praise, classes, or the messages of the speakers, IMPACT week has been one that teens cherish.

Additional Information

The IMPACT theme is always a mystery until the curtain opens. The theme is developed with a varied emphasis on different elements of Christian faith, ranging from evangelism and textual studies to spiritual development. In addition to classes, speaker sessions and worship, campers will enjoy 'Morning Impact,' the comic break of the day. The Coffee House hosts Christian groups and artists all throughout the week for campers to enjoy at their leisure.
