CAMP GUIDELINES

Camper Conduct

As a Christian organization Woodlands Baptist Camp maintains standards of conduct, music, and separation. Woodlands Baptist Camp reserves the right to refuse enrollment and to dismiss or request the withdrawal of any camper whose conduct/character, in the opinion of the director, is considered a harmful influence to other campers. When such becomes necessary, there is no refund on registration fees or tuition. Attendance at Woodlands Baptist Camp is a privilege, NOT a right. Campers and their families will be responsible for the replacement of broken windows or abusive destruction of property.

We do not tolerate foul language, any form of sexual harassment, the use of drug, tobacco or drinking alcohol. Campers who either bring such to camp or use such while at camp will be sent home. We reserve the right to request a change in any clothing or behavior deemed in appropriate. Any non-compliant or non-cooperative campers are subject to dismissal.

What to Bring to Camp

The following is a list of items that each camper should bring with him/her to camp: Bible, notebook, pen or pencil, pair of shoes that can get wet and muddy, spending money (snack shop, souvenirs, crafts). You may also like to bring suntan lotion, sunglasses, chapstick, hat, sandals, water shoes, swimsuit, extra changes of clothes, camera, and fishing rod and tackle.  In addition to the above list you will also need to bring bedding (twin), pillow, towels, toiletries, sports clothes for activities, and nice casual clothes for informal services.

What Not to Bring to Camp

Please do not bring alcoholic beverages, drugs, tobacco, e-cigs/vapes, fireworks, ammunition, guns, weapons, scooters, skateboards, rollerblades, magazines, apparel with inappropriate graphics or lettering, or any type of electronic device, including, but not limited to cell phones, CD/DVD/MP3 or other music/media players, computers, PDAs, tablets, radios, TVs, and video games.

Parent Please Note

Be sure to mark your child’s clothing and personal items with his/her name. Woodlands Baptist Camp is not responsible for loss or theft of personal items. Please do not bring anything of great monetary or sentimental value. Because of the limited number of phones, campers are not permitted to use the phone. Parents are asked to not call their children, except for emergencies. In case of an emergency you will be given a contact number to reach the staff 24/7 at check-in.

Dress Code

Because of the nature of “camping,” we recommend that all camper wear appropriate clothing. For girls/ladies we ask that all clothing worn be loose fitting and reach to the top of the knee. Loose fitting jeans or slacks may be worn. Clothing with a low neckline (front or back), tank tops, or skin-tight shirts are not acceptable camp attire. All fashions must cover the midriff. All swimsuits must be one piece. Colored modest t-shirts and shorts must be worn over swimsuits. For the boys/men we ask that all clothing worn be loose fitting and reach to the top of the knee. Tank tops may not be worn, and exposed undergarments are not permitted. Swimsuits must be modest, trunk-type suits and a colored modest t-shirt must be worn with the swimming trunks.

Special Diets

Because we cannot accommodate various special diets, please bring your own supplementary foods if needed. These will need to be checked-in and registered with the health services director. A refrigerator, microwave, and toaster are available to store and prepare special dietary foods.

Health and Safety

Safety is a key factor in our program planning. A health services director is on duty for any medical needs. Swimming and water activities will be supervised. Please do not send medication with a camper unless prescribed by a doctor and in its original container. For the health of all campers, those with contagious diseases, such as chicken pox or lice, cannot be retained on the campsite.

Snack Shop

Campers will have the opportunity to purchase items from the snack shop. During this time, campers may purchase soft drinks, candy, snacks, ice cream, and other items. The cost of these items is NOT included in the camper fees. A limited selection of Woodland Baptist Camp shirts and hats may be available for purchase too.
