Compliance Question Of The Week
Question:
At camp, can we give a folder / documentation / IU info to our campers? Any limits on that?
Answer:
Yeah there's limits. You may not give ANY items to any campers if that item has been "Created for Recruiting Purposes". Period. Plus, anything tangible, like a sticker, needs to be "included in the registration price of the camp" before it can be given out - so put that on your post-camp paperwork if you have stickers or similar.
Basically, you can't recruit at camps, so you can't give out recruiting material to campers. You can give them stuff about purchasing tickets and your schedule (but not schedule cards because we can't normally give them to prospect-aged individuals - though they can be left out for voluntary pick-up). You can also give publicity about your program and its highlights...even share with the campers some "take-home" drills, some fitness and nutrition info: all because that wasn't prepared for recruiting purposes and is relevant to the camp content. And because we can mail questionnaires (one per year) to anyone, then we can also give these out at camp....if we haven't already mailed one this year to these individuals.
Essentially, there's no recruiting at IU camps, or as we like to call it; Bylaw 13.
