Camp Rules

Calvary Baptist Church Family Camp Rules
(To be read, understood and accepted by all campers, including visitors.)

Since camping is a public function, modesty in dress is very important. Even though your personal convictions may differ from that of your fellow Christian campers, for their sakes, as well as your testimony before the unsaved public, we ask that you adhere to the following rules:

General Dress Code: Items NOT Allowed
• Halter tops, ratty tops with holes in them, tank or tube tops, low-cut tops, shirts that expose the navel when arms are raised, spaghetti straps.
• Shorts, dresses, or skirts that are more than four inches above the knee or that are too tight (leggings, tight yoga pants without a long top as covering).
• Shirts, hats, or jackets with profane logos, unacceptable writing, or inappropriate pictures.

BOYS: Boys must wear shirts at all times, including bike rides and organized or unorganized game times & swimming, day and night.

GIRLS: Bikini-type swimming attire is not permitted, please wear shorts and tankini tops, t-shirts or rash guards.

If campers have questions about their clothing, they may get approval from either the Oldfields or Fultons.

SWIMMING: There are two major areas for swimming – the docks, and the small beach east of the bridge to the island. If the boys are using one area, the girls should use another when no adult/parent is present. This includes both afternoons and evenings. Try to avoid swimming, running and splashing too close to moored boats.

SPEECH: Vulgar and profane speech will not be tolerated. After one or two warnings, guilty parties will be asked to leave the camp ground.

MUSIC: No secular modern music will be permitted, whether prerecorded or spontaneous. Generally speaking, there is no need for radios, CDs, or other kinds of media at camp – including video games.

MORNING DEVOTION & GAME TIME: Beginning at 10am – all campers are expected to meet at that day’s designated game area, even if they are unable to directly participate. This is a major time of fun and fellowship.

EVENING SERVICE: At 7pm – all campers are required to gather at the designated chapel area to participate in the preaching service.

GUESTS are welcome and encouraged, whether for the week or an hour, but they are to be informed of these rules prior to their arrival in camp and they are expected to follow them. Church members who invite guests, are responsible for their friends’ behavior and attire. As the camp leaders cannot be everywhere, we ask, and give permission to all adult members of Calvary Baptist Church, to help enforce these rules, doing so with kindness and wisdom. Any serious infractions of the rules or morals which cannot be easily addressed should be submitted to Pastor Oldfield or Bro. Fulton.
