PLEASE DO NOT BRING:

Cameras (we will have photographers), Radios, CD /MP3 Players, Cell Phones, or other electronics, fireworks, skateboards/etc. These items are disruptive to the camp experience. If these items are brought, they will be confiscated and returned at the end of the camp session.

FOLLOWING THE RULES:

The Camp Director and Clergy Director reserve the right to terminate the participation of any camper who does not follow the guidelines of the program or through his/her actions or behavior, which provides a disruption to the summer camp program or the experience of other participants. No refunds will be given for any parts of the program missed by the camper. Please also note that you will be financially responsible for any damage to the property by your camper. This includes writing names or messages on the cabin bunk beds, patio tables, or defacing the property in any way. Please make sure to communicate this to your camper.

 

DRESS CODE:

Campers and Counselors will wear appropriate clothing suitable for an Orthodox Christian camp. Midriff tops, spaghetti strap tops, tube tops, and/or halter tops are NOT permitted. The rule of thumb for shoulder straps will be the TWO FINGER WIDE rule. Short shorts are not permitted for boys or girls. Exposed midriffs are not acceptable.  Jeans and modest shorts may be worn at any time, except during Divine Liturgy.  

 

Shirts must be worn at all times except when swimming. Guys—no shirts with the armholes clear down to the bottom of the shirttail (large openings).

Bikinis, 2 (two) pieces, tankinis, or other brief swimwear are not permitted. For safety purposes, shoes must be worn at all times.
