Behavior & Expectations

We want this camp to be a place of encouragement and growth. If a camper sneaks out, breaks rules, has an unapproved phone, or consistently causes disruptions, parents will be contacted and responsible for picking them up. We trust that each camper will honor the guidelines set by the camp leadership.

Honoring God Through Modesty

As we prepare for camp, let's be mindful that our attire should reflect respect for ourselves, others, and God. Modesty isnt just about clothingits about honoring God in how we present ourselves.

We ask all campers to choose outfits that are appropriate, ensuring private areas remain fully covered. Since summer styles can sometimes blur the lines, a good rule of thumb is to ask: Does this reflect Christs love, respect for myself and others?

Ultimately, our goal is to create an environment where everyone can focus on growing spiritually and enjoying fellowship without distraction. Thank you for helping us maintain a Christ-centered atmosphere at camp!

Stay Updated!

Pictures will be posted in the GroupMe chat throughout camp. If youd like to see a photo of your camper, feel free to askwed love to share a snapshot of them having a great time!

We cant wait for an amazing week filled with faith, fun, and fellowship. If you have any questions, dont hesitate to reach out. Thank you for allowing us to invest in your teenagers!
