Packing for Camp
When packing for camp parents may want to consider the following:
Lost and Found
Strong Rock’s staff will do all they possibly can to insure
your camper goes home with all that they brought to camp. To
assist us with this phenomenal feat, we ask that each camper have
his or
her name written on each item when possible, even disposable
cameras, and toiletries. A great place to put their name on their
clothing
is either on or near the tag. This gives us a consistent place
to look. If your child leaves something at camp, we maintain a
Lost and Found until September 30th. Please call if you are
missing a specific item and we will return it to you. After
September 30th, Lost and Found items will be donated to a local
charity.
Dress Code
Strong Rock has a modest dress code. Our desire is for each camper
to feel comfortable. Campers should not feel the need to
draw attention to themselves by the way they dress, nor should
any
camper be made to feel embarrassed because of their dress.
T-shirts and tank tops, and shorts with modest hemline
are always the best bet at camp. Please do not buy all new clothes
for
camp.
In order to create the environment we desire, we must enforce
the following dress code:
- Clothing that expresses distasteful or vulgar messages
or images will not be allowed.
- Clothing that is revealing, such as very short shorts,
shirts that expose the midriff, or clothing that
is excessively tight
will not be allowed. Boys may wear sleeveless shirts,
but will be asked to keep their shirts on, except for swimming.
- We prefer that campers leave at home any footwear
that does not have a rear strap or back to it. These may
be worn at camp,
but they
do tend to cause injuries. Campers will not be
allowed to wear them in classes that require some physical
activity.
- We request that parents send swimsuits with their
daughters that do not reveal their midriff.
If they do not have one,
please send a dark t-shirt with them that they
may swim in. They will
not be allowed to wear swimsuits that are revealing.
- Campers staying two weeks may bring a nicer outfit
for Sunday morning services. Remember the summers
in Georgia
are warm,
therefore shorts are fine.
- Campers intending to take horseback riding MUST
bring pants and boots with a smooth sole
(no treads) and
a definite
heel. No camper will be allowed to ride in
tennis shoes, hiking boots, or duck boots. All of these can
be dangerous in stirrups and around
horses
feet. Please
do not
hinder your campers participation by forgetting this
request.

Electronic Devices and Valuables
Although our world is becoming increasingly electronically
dependent, MP3 players, cell phones, hand-held games, and all
other similar
devices are not allowed at camp. All such items will be held
in the office and returned to campers at the end of the session.
Campers are encouraged to leave valuable or expensive cameras,
watches or jewelry at home, for camp will not be responsible
for the loss or damage to such items.
Laundry
Laundry service is provided for campers staying more than
one week. |
