Standard of Appropriateness

Though the following may not reflect everyone's personal standard (nor can it), Fir Point Bible Camp has sought to establish a minimal standard of appropriateness for all of its staff and campers that will reflect and promote the goals and purposes of our Lord for His camp ministry.

Let us maintain appropriate dress and behavior at all times during camp. Our dress and behavior should, in no way, take away from the focus of why we are here.

Why are we here?

To turn the minds and hearts of young souls to Christ

To see them come to know Jesus as their savior. (John 10:9)
To see them grow in their contentment of Him only. (Matthew 16:24-26)

Appropriate Clothing

1 Thess 5:22, Prov 5:21

no low cut tops
no muscle shirts, halter tops or spaghetti straps
no midriffs or shirts that show the belly when arms are raised
shorts that are long enough (hand length is a good measurement)
no underwear should be showing at any time (no see-thru stuff)
no underwear or feminine hygiene products left out in the bathroom (leave all such personal items in the cabin)
no pajamas worn outside of cabins
no 2 piece bathing suits unless covered with a dark T-shirt
no "speedos" or tight shorts
no clothing with offensive advertising or statements
To see them grow in their contentment of Him only. (Matthew 16:24-26)

Appropriate Behavior

Col 3:12-17, 1 Thess 5:13

respect authority, staff members, campers and guests on the property

Sexual conduct:

no hanging on one another (staff or camper)
no sitting on laps
no "backrubs"
no inappropriate touching
no holding hands
no going off alone
no kissing

Married staff please be considerate in public

Appropriate Language

Col 3:8, Prov 10:31-32, Prov 12:18

no swearing (avoid anything that sounds like it)
don't put others down with your language (even in jest)
be encouraging and uplifting
let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth

Remember - we are here to give God the glory in all that we do
