  • Christian Dress Code Policy

  • Dress Code and Cell Phone Policy for Camp Pineshore 

    Modesty is the rule for swimsuits. 

    Girls must wear a modest 1 piece swimsuits or a modest 2 piece that has plenty of coverage (like a rash guard swim shirt w/swim trunks) Absolutley no bikinis.

    Boys suits must be modest as well. No racer suits (like speedos)

    Also no shirts with alcohol, drugs, sex, curse words, or any inappropriate themes are permitted at camp. 

    Campers are not permitted to bring a cell phone. 

    At Camp Pineshore, we spend our time studying God’s word and participating in camp activities together.  In order to allow for full attention and engagement in these activities, we expect all campers to keep their cell phones at home.

    If a camper has a medical reason for keeping that phone in their possession during the day, parents and campers should speak with the camp director prior to the beginning of camp. Exceptions to the cell phone policy may be considered on a case-by-case basis.

    We understand that campers may feel homesick or lonely, especially at the beginning of the camp week.  Campers are encouraged to talk with their counselors of the camp director about their feelings and emotions.  We strive to make every camper feel welcome and included in the camp experience and these feelings of homesickness usually go away quickly. 


    Signing below indicates you understand the rules and will cooperate by helping your camper pack appropirately for camp.
