Dress Code

Dress while at PHCA is encouraged to be casual and expected to be modest. Our clothing choices give us an opportunity to represent Christ. 1 Peter 3:3-4 is an excellent model by which to choose your clothing, “Don’t be concerned about the outward beauty of fancy hairstyles, expensive jewelry, or beautiful clothes. You should clothe yourselves instead with the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God.” (NLT)

​We encourage good judgment to be used on all articles of clothing. No halter-tops, tube tops, spaghetti strap tank tops (tank top straps must have straps greater than 2” in width), strapless attire, bare midriff, mini-skirts, spandex shorts, or low riding shorts/pants at any time (all outer garments must cover undergarments at all times). In addition, any explicit images, advertisements (alcohol, tobacco, etc.), or inappropriate wording is not permitted. When not at the waterfront, shirts and shoes must always be worn. Proper waterfront attire is a one-piece bathing suit for ladies and trunk-style shorts for men.
Deans or faculty may request that a camper change their clothing based on their own discretion. Should further questions arise about an article of clothing, the camp manager will have the final authority. Failure to agree to this standard of dress may result in acquiring proper clothing at the camper’s expense or removal from the week of camp.

​NOTE: traditionally, many of the camps have one dress-up night a week, so be sure to bring one nice outfit for that night.

What NOT to Bring

Cell phones, iPods, radios, tape/CD/MP3 players, computers, electronic toys, magazines, fireworks, water guns, skateboards, weapons, tobacco, alcohol or other drugs.

PHCA "No Cell Phone" Policy

We have a "no cell phone" policy at camp. The facts are that cell phones are expensive and can be lost or stolen, and the physical camp environment is not kind to such items. Our ultimate concern, however, is that the camp is a place which is "unplugged" from the entanglements with which we have become so familiar and the noise that can easily distract us from listening for the voice of Christ in our lives. We desire a camp environment free from distractions caused by cell phones, iPods, mp3 players, and the like.

We agree to contact parents if a child is experiencing a challenge in their adjustment to camp. Parents can help by talking with their child(ren) before leaving for camp and telling them that there is always someone they can reach out to, whether it be their cabin leader, family leader, a trusted faculty or staff member, the dean of their week, or the camp manager. We are all here to help!

If a child needs to call home, they can talk with the deans of the week to make arrangements. In an emergency, parents can also reach their camper(s) by calling the camp number: 218-732-9419.

If a child needs their cell phone for the trip to and from camp, no problem! At registration, they will turn it in to the staff and we'll keep it locked up and safe during the week. They can pick up their phone at the canteen on departure day. Please be sure they bring a camera and alarm clock along as their phone will be inaccessible for those purposes.
