    Texas Department of Health Service Adult Screening

    For adult leaders attending a youth camp week, the Texas Department of Health Services, which licenses youth summer camps, has a rule that requires us to conduct a criminal background search and document that you have been trained in child abuse prevention. We are using Protect My Ministry to meet this guideline.

    • If you were not at camp last summer, you need to fill out the information through the link below NOW, then we will be able to authorize the background check and approve you as one of the adults we want to take the course. The course takes about an hour and all adults need to complete it by one week prior to their arrival.
    • If you were at camp last summer, and took the course through Protect My Ministry, you do not need to take the course this year. We will re-run your background check using the information you provided last year. If you wish to update your information, please contact us.

    We will have a state inspector visit us, as they do every summer, to verify we are following state rules.
