Visiting Instructors/Camps

Last Revised on January 13, 2012

The guidelines outlined the FSGC do not provide for every situation in ministry. Hosting a sports camp or inviting someone to give a presentation to young people in your parish or school is one such area.

If a parish or school is hosting a sports camp and the person directing the camp is not cleared through the Diocese of Wilmington FSGC program, that adult must never be left alone with young people. As long as the parish or school is operating within the guidelines of FSGC regarding the number of cleared adults required, the camp director does not have to be cleared for service, though it is reasonable to make sure a request.

In the case where a guest speaker attends a parish or diocesan event for a one time performance or presentation, that person is not required to be cleared through the Diocese of Wilmington FSGC program so long as no opportunity exists for him/her to be alone with young people. 

For the protection of young people, it is reasonable to ask a visiting presenter or camp counselor to be cleared through the Diocese of Wilmington FSGC program.
