EARLY CHECK OUT POLICY AND PROCEDURE

Usually EFY is contained within the campus where it is being held. Youth may face disciplinary action for leaving campus. Participants should only leave campus after following established check out policy and procedure.

The safety of our participants is our highest priority.

When checking a participant out from an EFY session, either temporarily or permanently, the following documents need to be presented to the staff who is on duty at the site office.

For a Parent/legal guardian:

• Driver’s License

For a Relative/Friend (must be 18+ years old and authorized by the parent/legal guardian):

• Driver’s License
• Written consent from legal guardian
• Photo copy of parent/legal guardian’s driver’s license (used to verify authenticity)

EFY will always call the parent/legal guardian listed in the primary or secondary emergency contact information to confirm the request. If the contact information provided is incorrect or the parent/legal guardian is not available by phone, the participant will not be checked out. Any exceptions must go through the main EFY Office (801-422-4493).

Participants must also check back in at the site office.

Youth who purchased the optional food and housing package will stay in BYU residence halls with overnight counselor supervision. The registration cost includes meals beginning with Monday lunch through Friday dinner. Each participant will receive a key for their room/hall. Please be aware that there is a $35 fee for lost room keys.

A furnished linen packet includes sheets, towels, washcloth, pillowcase, pillow and blanket. Three double-occupancy rooms will share one bathroom facility.(There are no private baths.) There is only one towel change on Wednesday, so you may want to bring an extra towel from home. The halls are air-conditioned, but you may want to bring a small fan from home.

Each Mission Ready participant should bring their own scriptures (preferably hard copies, not an electronic version) and a copy of Preach My Gospel. You will be expected to wear your Sunday best on Thursday and Friday as we will be touring the MTC and visiting the Orem/Lindon Utah Temples.

Comfortable, casual clothing is appropriate for all other classes and activities. We do not recommend bringing your iPod, iPad, smart phone, MP3 players, etc. as there is a risk they may be lost or stolen. If you do bring them to campus, remember they should be used appropriately and not as a distraction during classes and activities.

Below is a list of suggested items to pack:

• Alarm clock
• Camera and charger or batteries
• Casual clothing for five days, including nice pants, jeans or shorts, shirts, and pajamas
• Current temple recommend
• Extra blanket (if desired)
• Hangers
• Journal and pens
• Light jacket/sweater
• Personal medications—prescriptions, cough drops, etc.
• Personal toiletry items—sunscreen, toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, shampoo/conditioner, body wash, etc.
• Preach My Gospel (Please make sure you have the second edition, published in 2023)
• Scriptures (hard copies preferred, but electronic is allowed)
• Shoes (comfortable walking shoes, closed-toe shoes for games night, Sunday shoes, etc.) Flip flops may be worn in residence halls only.
• Spending money—for snacks, incidentals, or emergencies
• Small fan for room (residence halls can get hot)
• Snacks for free time and after evening activities
• Sunday clothing, 2 outfits: Men should wear a shirt, tie, and slacks—no jeans. Suit coats are optional; Women should wear dresses or a skirt and blouse.

Mailing/Delivery of Letters or Packages

We recommend that letters or packages NOT be sent to participants. If necessary medications or items are forgotten, please contact the session site office and make arrangements with the staff. For birthdays or a special occasion, consider putting a note or surprise in your youth’s suitcase instead of arranging a delivery. Delivering personal mail and non-essential/non-emergency items disrupts the EFY schedule and uses the valuable time and resources of our staff. We sincerely appreciate your cooperation in this matter.

Parking and Personal Vehicles

We do not encourage you to bring your car to campus. If you need to bring a vehicle, please plan on parking in Lot 20 (West of the BYU Conference Center). You will need to request a parking permit during check-in. You are not allowed to use your car to transport other participants during the camp. 

During check-in, you may park your vehicle in the "Conference Center Guest" rows in Lot 20 (West of the BYU Conference Center) and in C lots adjacent to the residence halls in Heritage Halls when moving into the dorms.
