Packing List

Labels - what to bring - what NOT to bring - lost & Found - dress code

...offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to god...

Romans 12:1

Being thorough in packing your child will only enhance their experience while at camp.  You are not limited to what is on this list; however, there are a few items to leave at home that you will see at the bottom of this list.  There are reasons for why we ask you to bring certain items and reasons to leave certain items at home and you are always welcome to ask for those reasons.

Labels

Please clearly mark or label your items if possible, including the bag or suitcase that is being packed.  This eliminates a lot of lost and found items.  If you don’t want to write your name on a bag or another item, use tape or some sort of tag to mark it with your child’s name.

Dress Code Policy

It is our desire that Camp Rock be a place where young men and young women can escape the distractions during their stay at camp, a place where they can focus their eyes and hearts on their relationship with Jesus, and a place where they are not ‘tempted’ by the flesh.  Styles of clothing can be a stumbling block for many youth.  The Bible says people are to dress in modesty.

The intent is to not bring attention to how one looks, but to highlight our walk of faith, love and pursuit of holiness.  Therefore campers and staff are required to adhere to the Camp Dress Code.  Anyone in violation of this policy will be asked to change clothes or make the appropriate changes to render their clothing modest.
  • We have a NO visible undergarment policy. 
  • Swimsuits must be modest.  Girls, swimsuits should be a one piece, a tankini that comes down to the bottoms, or you may opt for a swim shirt.  Guys, swimsuits should not be skin tight.
  • No attire with reference to any type of alcoholic beverage, illegal substance, and lewd, vulgar, indecent or sexually suggestive subjects may be worn.
