POLICIES

Christian conduct is expected at all times. Campers and staff should be courteous and have good manners toward others. The dean, in consultation with the manager, has authority to send home anyone who refuses to cooperate. Everyone must remain on campus, and abide by the schedule unless excused by the dean.

Dress Code

Modesty and decency must prevail at all times. If clothing is considered inappropriate, you will be expected to change.
-Shoes must be worn.
-No sleeveless shirts.
-Shorts must be of appropriate length. They must not be above the fingertips when the camper or staff’s arms are flat against his or her body.

1. Check in begins at 4:00 on Sunday afternoon for summer camp sessions that begin on Sunday. 3rd Junior check in is at 4:00 on the scheduled Tuesday of the session.

2. All campers will be assigned a room number. If they are registered at least two weeks before the session, the room number will be emailed to the address associated with their registration. Campers that do not know their room number can get it from camp staff at check in.

3. At 4:00, campers will proceed to their assigned room and select an open bunk in the room. Please be nice. Do not move anyone else’s property.

4. A table in each room will contain an envelop with your camper’s name. This envelop will contain a wristband, camper information, and a name tag. Please check that the camper information in the envelop is correct and complete. After you have finished setting up the camper’s bed, take the completed form to RCC staff located at the information table. All outstanding payments can be paid at this time.

5. Campers will proceed to their assigned area for activities while other families settle in their rooms.

Medications

Baptisms
If a camper desires to be baptized at camp, the dean will phone the camper’s parents for permission.
Roanoke Christian Camp baptismal certificates will be sent home with the camper.
