Summer Camp Dress Code

Apart from the few guidelines below, we do not have a dress code. 

A culture of modesty has developed at Camp Deerpark and if someone pushes the edges of what is appropriate, a peer will usually speak on it.  As you choose clothing, your goal should be to honor God with your body.   If you are completely unfamiliar with what is worn at Camp Deerpark, look through our pictures on Facebook.

Specific guidelines:

  1. Guys must wear shirts even if they are at the pool. Tang tops are acceptable at the pool and while playing a sport.
  2.  Wear your PJs at night, not during the day (unless its part of a wacky Wednesday outfit.)
  3.  Ladies; no two piece bathing suits
