For your safety during games and outdoor activities, closed-toed shoes are required — no exceptions.

FINAL NOTE

If clothing doesn’t align with these guidelines, a leader will gently and privately address it and help find a solution. Camp leadership reserves the right to make final decisions about clothing that may or may not be specifically mentioned here. Our goal is to encourage one another to walk in love and consider how our choices impact those around us (Romans 14:13; 1 Corinthians 10:31).

Our Heart

This dress code isn’t about shame — it’s about honoring God, respecting others, and building a culture of mutual care. Let’s focus on what matters most: growing in Christ and connecting as a family of faith.
