It is expected that campers will behave with language, clothing, and conduct that reflects a bible camp atmosphere. No profanity, vulgar language, or inappropriate comments will be tolerated. There will be no smoking, chewing, drugs, (with the exception of prescriptions to be turned into the nurse), no alcohol in any form, no headphones, game devices, and if a camper is seen out of their cabin with an electronic device that becomes a distraction, it may be taken from them and given back at the end of the week. All electronic devices brought to camp are the responsibility of the camper and not the staff, camp, sponsors, or related organizations. We suggest that campers only bring things to camp that you, the parent/guardian, are willing to replace at your own expense. Camp and all affiliated are not responsible for any missing or damaged items.
