RESPECT
Girls are expected to appreciate their surroundings and to help keep Rucker Lake a beautiful place to be. They are to be respectful, courteous and obedient to not only campers but to leaders and staff who volunteer their time, talents and energy to ensure the safety, well-being and enjoyment of all campers.
MORAL/DRESS CODE
The guidelines in “For the Strength of Youth” pamphlet are the standard at camp. Respectful, uniform dress is a relief to all, a break for everybody from the body image rat race. Extremes in dress are distracting to all concerned, detract from the spirit of unity we are trying to foster, and introduce a spirit of competition amongst the group. Please dress in a way that is respectful of the collective goal of nurturing our testimony of Christ through adventure, activities, learning, and friendship. And, to give ourselves a rest, let’s leave the make-up at home. NO MAKE-UP.
Problems with regard to the Word of Wisdom, profanity or other inappropriate language, moral infractions, stealing, lying or other dishonesty and other camp rules will be cause for parents to come pick-up their daughter from camp.
PARTICIPATION
Girls are expected to participate in the full camp program including all hikes, duties, and other activities. Girls are not to leave the group. A buddy system is used while at camp.
MEDICATIONS
All medications (prescription and non-prescription) must be checked in with the doctor upon arrival at camp in their original prescription container with the label intact. The doctor will have many over- the-counter medicines (see health section of the registration form) that will be given out as needed. All medicine at camp must be dispensed by our doctor.
PACKING
Your Year Level Leaders will let you know what you need for each of the days of camp. Please be conscientious about preparing well. When campers arrive well prepared for the weather and events at camp, the camp experience is more enjoyable!
Phone Policy
Our goal is to enjoy nature and leave the world behind, so please refrain from using social media, playing games, texting, calling, or using other apps besides photo apps. Phones should remain in airplane mode and be used only for viewing the time and taking photos. There will be no charging allowed, so use your charge wisely! Of course, you may text parents at the end of the day as necessary to arrange rides home.
PLEASE DO NOT BRING
Tablets, music players, radios, video games, headsets, or any other portable electronics, money (except for lunch on the way up), jewelry or anything else of value. And, no make-up, please.
