Student and Parent,

Please read completely and indicate you have read fully.  

 

Medication Policy:

A very important part of our camp staff are registered nurses with many years of experience. They will be in charge of administering any and all medications during the week of camp. Please send enough medication for one week in an original container. One suggestion is to save an old bottle with a current dosage and frequency listed on the label. It is much safer for us to administer medications when we can see the prescription container. 
•    All prescription medication must be in the original container with current dates.  
•    All over-the-counter medications, including herbs and vitamins need to be in original containers as well with a parental note explaining preferred dosage.
•    Any “as needed” medication (i.e. Tylenol, Neosporin, poison ivy cream) will only be administered with your approval and recorded by our camp nurses (see application for parental approval)
We will not accept any medication brought to camp unless it is in the original container (this includes over the counter meds and vitamins.) 
If you have any questions about this policy, please contact the camp director or Shirley Nesbitt, Camp Nurse.

 

Visitors and Cell Phones: 
Since Camp is very busy we request that there be no visitors during the week except for Thursday night Chapel & Ministry tools.  Campers will not be allowed to make or receive telephone calls, except in the case of an emergency. Please do not allow your child to have a cell phone at camp.  We understand that some teens will drive themselves to camp and therefore will have a cell phone in their possession.  However, during camp, cell phones are to be locked in their vehicles or given to their camp counselor to be returned at the end of camp.   

 

Camp Schedule:  
Camp Check in will be from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM on Saturday.  If your child is to arrive late please notify your camp director or camp registrar ahead of time.  Camp will end at 9:00 AM on Friday.  Please be sure there is someone there to pick up your child at this time.  ALL CAMPERS MUST BE PICKED UP AND CAMPUS CLEARED BY 11:00 AM.

​

Camp Dress Code:  
MCLC is a camp like no other. During your time at camp we have set a standard of dress for our campers and leaders that will help maintain our focus on what truly matters, which is learning and growing in our relationship with Christ. 

 

We adopt these standards and ask that you follow them for this one week out of the year for three reasons:

(1) Modesty: To be above reproach, since clothing can be and is a temptation for some and a reason to judge for others
(2) Protection: To ensure that your campers are not placed in compromising situations with other campers
(3) Testimony: A Christian’s appearance is always an important part of their testimony. We should not be trying to draw unhealthy attention to our body parts.

 
Game Time:

Shorts and a tshirt with closed toed athletic shoes. (NO CROCS OR SANDALS for game time)

 

Evening Service:

Clean shorts or pants and a tshirt is great! It can be chilly in chapel, so make sure to pack a sweatshirt or hoodie.

 

Ministry Tools:

Varsity Campers ONLY need to bring an outfit to wear while working on a service project that they could get messy in (I.E. cleaning, painting, yard work) and clean pair of denim blue jeans (no khakis, no holes) to wear while sharing Ministry Tools on Wednesday evening.  DONT FORGET YOUR BELT FELLAS! 😀 

 

Thursday Evening Awards:

If you would like to dress up for our awards night, you are more than welcome to! Please be appropriate in your attire. Church clothes are great or a clean outfit is best too. Girls, if you choose to wear a dress, shoulders must be covered and all parts of your dress must meet our guidelines listed below. (I.E: if your dress has shorts built in that are exposed, they must meet the shorts requirement) this outfit also needs to be saved for awards night only.

 

Shoes:

Shoes must be worn at all times unless otherwise instructed on wet and wild day. Athletic shoes are required for all game time activity. Manderly is a very hilly campus so flip flops and slides are not recommended while walking back and forth. Ladies, If you feel the need to bring heels, they need to be reserved for awards night only.
 

Shorts:

As our camp covers a wide range of ages and body types, we have decided to modify our previous shorts policy to best fit all of our campers and staff while maintaining a modest outlook. Shorts need to have a minimum inseam of 5-inch (measured from the crotch seam to the end of hem) and this applies to males, females, campers, and camp staff for all activities. We also ask that you do not roll up your shorts at the waist to make them shorter. You will be asked to unroll them if we see this happening. Please check your shorts before coming to camp and if you have any questions, please ask your counselor.

 

Leggings:

Leggings and bike shorts are permitted for female campers and counselors as long as they meet the minimum inseam requirement listed above for shorts (5-inches) AND they are paired with a shirt that is not fitted and is long enough to cover your backside WHILE your hands are fully raised.
 

Dresses/Skorts/Skirts: 

Girls can wear dresses or skirts, but must maintain our standard of modesty while wearing them. Dresses and skirts must be fingertip length when arms are straight at your sides or longer. Bike shorts under dresses/skirts are recommended under these types of clothing so no one is embarrassed.

 

Shirts:

All shirts must have sleeves and cover all undergarments. Your shirt should not show off your chest, your stomach, or your sides while being worn. Please do not bring any pieces of clothing with questionable images or sayings on them.

 

Swim Suits and Cover Ups:

All campers must wear a cover up while walking to and from swimming areas. No Tank Top or Spaghetti straps cover ups. Only at the swim destination can cover ups be removed.

Girls, your swim suits must be a one piece bathing suit or resemble a one piece (two pieces put together). Boys, board short style trunks are preferred; tight fitting or swim team suits are not allowed.

 

Pajamas:

Pajamas are to be worn inside the cabin ONLY and should be appropriate for wearing around others.

 

 

ITEMS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT CAMP:
•    Electronics. This is a time to focus without the distraction of phones, tablets, laptops, and game systems.
•    Fireworks, matches or lighters, knives, squirt guns.
•    Shirts with worldly pictures or messages on them that are not appropriate
