I authorize Still Water Camps, Inc. to perform a background check of any criminal history record information (CHRI) pertaining to the arrest, prosecution, court disposition, and supervision data reported to Texas DPS and the national sex registry.
I understand that criminal records don’t automatically disqualify me as a candidate from the hiring process, unless I am convicted of serious criminal act (e.g. sexual assault.) Still Water Camps will judge the substance of criminal records according to these criteria: Number of criminal convictions for the same offense, time elapsed from the most recent criminal conviction, and how the criminal conviction relates to the position.
When we check the background of applicants, decisions are not based on a person’s race, national origin, color, sex, religion, disability, genetic information (including family medical history), or age (40 or older).

I have read and agree to the terms and conditions included in the Still Water Staff Playbook.
