PACKING FOR SUMMER CAMP

how  to  pack

Picture
Days at MBC are busy, and can get messy! Campers are engaged in a variety of activities daily, from athletics to waterfront, OL to arts and crafts. In the afternoons and evenings, all campers shower and change for the evening program. Please keep this in mind when packing, to ensure you have enough clothing! Visit our A Day at Camp page to learn more about the program.

MBC does not provide laundry for campers, and campers should come prepared with enough clothing to last the full session.

dress  code

At MBC, our priority with clothing is safety and functionality. As an Orthodox Christian camp, modesty guides our choices. Additionally, we wish to cultivate an environment within which clothing trends and brands do not impact peer relationships at camp. Our dress code is as follows:

Tops and bottoms should allow for freedom of movement, and provide appropriate coverage during a variety of athletic activities. Undergarments should not be visible at any time. Bottoms should be approximately fingertip length. Swimwear should be functional and provide full coverage (no bikinis, speedos, or cut-outs). All graphics & designs on clothing should be appropriate for an Orthodox Christian camp setting. 

Campers dressed inappropriately for the setting or activity will be asked to change.
