What  to  Leave  at  Home

Camp is a special time away.  Some of the things needed at home are not necessary at camp.  In fact, there are a few items to leave at home.  Campers will not need money, cell phones, radios or other music players, electronic games, pets, or food.  Items of significant value should stay at home.  Camp provides great entertainment, meals, and snacks.  At the end of the session, campers will receive a picture and a t-shirt.
 
Tobacco, alcohol, illegal drugs, fireworks, firearms, and weapons of any kind are prohibited at camp.
 
Personal sporting gear brought to camp for specialized camping activities must be inspected by camp recreational personnel prior to use, must be clearly labeled, and is the camper’s responsibility.
 
Camp has a modest approach to our expectation of camp attire.  We ask campers not to bring clothing with alcohol, drug, tobacco, or sexually suggestive slogans or logos.  Halter tops, tube tops, backless shirts, sheer clothing, mini-shorts or skirts, exposed midriffs, and exposed underwear don’t align with camp expectations.
