Modesty is an important way that we honor God and show respect for ourselves and each other. Even good people may disagree on specific standards and practices, but we have chosen to model and encourage appropriate dress.

​

Campers are very active. Clothing that is too tight or loose is not conducive to our level of activity. So, we have adopted the following standards:

 

All parts of underwear must be covered (including bra straps, waistband of boxers, etc). Midriffs must be covered.

 

Oversized arm holes on T-shirts or tank tops, or large cutouts on shirts or pants are not allowed on boys or girls.

 

Short shorts are not allowed. The shortest part of shorts must be longer than the camper’s fingertips when he or she is standing with hands to the sides. Any clothing that requires constant adjustment (pulling down or up, tugging at seams or straps) should not be worn at camp.

 

We no longer require one-piece swimsuits for girls. However, campers may be asked to wear a t-shirt over their swimsuit even while swimming if the suit is too revealing. Instead of a swimsuit cover up, we wear our clothes over our swimsuit when moving to and from the pool. Clothing that is revealing when wet shouldn’t be brought to wear to and from the swimming area. We wear our swimsuits under our clothing during afternoon activities as many of our activities offer the opportunity to get wet.

 

Clothing with off-color or morally bankrupt advertising is not allowed.
 

PLEASE NOTE: This dress code should not pose a financial hardship for parents. Please do not send anything “NEW” to camp. Clothing (including shoes, socks, and towels) may be damaged, lost, or destroyed during camp. For most campers, clothing allowed at school will be appropriate. The director reserves the right to require any camper to change his or her outfit if considered inappropriate. The camp also reserves the right to discharge any uncooperative or non-compliant camper.
