Dress Code and Rules

Wonder what is appropriate to wear at camp? This page has all the answers!

Camp Rules

Our camp is made up of youth from all over the west coast. Our cabin leaders are experienced leaders who have been highly recommended by their pastor to serve at camp. For the good of all the campers, we expect that your child/teen will abide by the rules and regulations that have been established for the camp. If for some reason your child/teen has a problem with the rules and will not cooperate, we will expect you to pick them up from camp when we contact you, as we cannot allow one camper to disrupt camp. This is a rare occurrence and we counsel and give the camper every opportunity to improve their behavior. We hope this is reassuring to you as a parent, as many rules are related to the safety of your child.

Please note: We ask all campers to be friends with everyone and to avoid pairing off with another camper.

Campers are not permitted to bring: TV’s, video games or any other electronic devices, laser pointers, guns/ knives of any kind, pets, fireworks, scooters, or poor attitudes. Any such items that are found at camp will stay with the camp staff and returned as the camper leaves camp. Failure to comply could affect your camper’s return to camp next year. Read more about the packing list here.

Please note: camp is an electronics-free zone. Cell phones can be used for camera purposes ONLY during free time.

Dress code

Modesty is the policy at Camp. Modesty in all areas of dress is a strong part of every Christian’s testimony. (I Timothy 2:9) Special attention should be given to fit (not skin-tight or over-sized), appropriateness and slogans. Shorts should be at least mid-thigh in length. No split-sided or skin-tight shorts. Shoes must be worn at all times except in the shower, cabin, pond or pool. Crew-necked, sleeved t-shirts are strongly recommended for all campers.

Male:

  • Appropriate swimwear. No speedos. Shirts must be worn at all times except in the pool, shower, or cabin.
  • Tank tops must be tight fitting around the arms.
  • No pierced jewelry.
  • Closed toed shoes are required for all activities (except swimming). Crocs do not count as closed toed.
  • Flip-flops are ok when walking from the cabin to the shower, pool, or lake.
  • No modifying camp shirts (cutting, tying in knot, etc) until after camp. (Having friends/staff sign shirts is ok, AFTER picture day).

Female:

  • Swimwear must be modest one-piece style. Clothes must be worn over swimsuits to and from the pool or pond.
  • No halter tops or bare midriffs. (If it can’t be tucked in, don’t wear it!)
  • Please do not wear clothing that reveals your undergarments (or lack thereof). No spaghetti straps.
  • No leggings as pants.
  • Pierced jewelry is limited to earrings.
  • Closed toed shoes are required for all activities (except swimming). Crocs do not count as closed toed.
  • Flip-flops are ok when walking from the cabin to the shower, pool, or lake.
  • No modifying camp shirts (cutting, tying in knot, etc) until after camp. (Having friends/staff sign shirts is ok, AFTER picture day).
