What to Bring / Dress Code

Campers should come prepared with their Bibles, clothing, and linens for the week of camp. Personal electronics aren’t allowed during camp, and staff will collect campers’ cell phones for safe storage during the week. We also ask campers not to bring food with them. Food is not allowed in campers’ dormitories since it attracts local wildlife. (Those with specific dietary restrictions should make arrangements with the registrar and kitchen director ahead of camp.)

Here’s a detailed list of things to pack:

  • Bible
  • Pen/pencil and paper for taking notes
