Camper Expectations and Packing List

Grace Adventure’s mission is to impact people with Jesus Christ. Grace believes very strongly that your child is a precious gift from God. Therefore, we want to do all that we can to provide the best camp experience for your child. Grace wants to remove anything that would distract, hinder or prevent us from creating such an experience and fulfilling our mission. Therefore, it is our desire to remove such distractions and hindrances. By no means are we saying these things are immoral. Rather, we are choosing to stay true to our mission. Grace needs your help in creating this environment.

Over the past years, the standard of acceptable clothing in our culture has changed dramatically. In today's society, the "less is more" mentality is displayed in various ways from low-cut jeans and shorts, to tight shirts showing midriffs, to exposed boxers and bras. Please understand that Grace Adventures is committed to protecting the innocence of your child in the midst of a camp setting. With this in mind, we will ask campers who are inappropriately dressed to change into clothing that is acceptable.

Inappropriate dress includes, but is not limited to, short shorts, tight tank tops, spaghetti straps, crop tops, clothing supporting beer, tobacco or secular rock groups, etc.
