It is unfortunate that we need a dress code, but we do: Christians should strive to dress modestly for all things. If you are new to MSC, please be forewarned: we do enforce our dress code at camp, and campers are sent home if they will not comply after a warning. We have little tolerance in this regard. It is interesting to watch: once everyone gets behind the code and follows it, camp always goes so much smoother. One staff member said it best: "it's amazing how liberating it is when we all determine to follow the expectations we set".
 | The dress code will be in effect the entire week of camp, including the hours before breakfast and after dinner. |
| Should dress code violations occur, the camper or campers will be asked to change. A second violation will result in the camper being sent home. Camp is too short to spend much time fussing about it. |
Camp Dress Code
| Shorts are permitted as long as they come to the knee. |
| Sleeveless shirts are not permitted. (Too many torn T-shirts with gaping sides.) No tank tops, spaghetti straps, tube tops, etc. Our favorite shirt for camp is a colored T-shirt. Inexpensive, washes easily, can be purchased for $5 or less at Hobby Lobby, Wal-Mart, etc. |
| Skirts and dresses worn in the evening must also come to the knee. Dresses must not be sleeveless. |
| There must be no skin showing between the top of pants and the bottom of shirts while standing or sitting. |
| Undergarments must not be seen. |
| Clothing must not be so tight that it reveals undergarments. |
| Clothing that advertises beer, alcohol, drugs, or related behavior is not permitted (e.g. Club Naked). This includes writing on improper places, such as pant seats. |
| Clothing that advertises bands or musicians is not permitted. Exception: your own high school band/choir is acceptable. |
| Permissible jewelry for Men: necklace, bracelet, finger ring. Dog collars do not qualify as a necklace. |
| Permissible jewelry for Ladies: necklaces, bracelets, finger rings, earrings. All other jewelry is not permitted. |
