*The restrictions are relevant at all times – including Sunday night if arriving early, during checkout on Saturday morning, during sports/activities, praise and worship, etc….


**Camp participants will need a robe or some other appropriate clothing to wear to the shower house.


  P.M. Church Service Dress Code is the same as the daytime code.

 


Dress code note – The BPYC director team realizes that dress code can be a challenging subject and one that is difficult to agree upon. Please understand that the directors have children and youth groups too, and many of us are teachers.  We undertand!  Our goal is not to decide for you what is appropriate or not, but to try to meet everyone at a place where we can all agree or agree to disagree  for a week without too much offense or disagreement about a touchy subject that is not  the most important thing.  We would like for churches / counselors to handle the dress code with your campers as much as possible.  If you have questions or need help with clothes for your youth group, please reach out to us.
