5.   lf a USYer is caught in possession of/or using alcohol or illegal drugs, he/she will immediately be sent home at his/her parents' expense. Furthermore, USY International policy states: "Anyone violating any such rules at a regional event for the infraction of these rules is barred from International events for one year following the infraction. These events include (but are not limited to) the International USY Convention and USY summer programs." The Region reserves the right to impose additional sanctions in connection with this or any other improper behavior as it sees fit.

6.   Each participant is expected to maintain proper decorum and attitude during the entire program. Disruptive behavior (including, among other things, inappropriate sexual behavior) will not be tolerated. Your parents will be responsible to pay for any damage you may cause.

7.   No attendee may leave the facility except at those times specified by the schedule. Proper dress is expected of everyone. For Shabbat, males must wear a jacket and tie or sweater, no jeans or sneakers. Females are to wear dresses or skirts, no shorts, culottes or dress pants.

9. Each participant is expected to conduct him/herself appropriately as a Conservative Jew (including through the observance of Shabbat and Kashrut), in accordance with applicable standards of the Law and Standards Committee of the Rabbinical Assembly and/or the local Rabbinical Authority.

10. The Region reserves the right to search the room and belongings of any attendee if it has reasonable grounds to believe that such a search is necessary to secure the health, safety and/or welfare of the program and or its participants. USY or Kadima Director, in consultation with the Regional Youth Commission, reserves the right to enforce other rules relating to the integrity of the Regional Youth Program and/or the health, safety or welfare of its participants.

 

I have read these rules and understand them fully. I certify that I will adhere to this Code and will conduct myself in a manner reflecting credit upon myself, my chapter, congregation and community. Any violation of this code of conduct may result in the participant being sent home at his/her parents' expense. The Regional Director has the sole discretion to send a participant home.
