Dress Code

Beacon Bible Camp is a Christian camp and expects campers and staff to wear appropriately modest clothing. Campers not following these guidelines will be asked to change clothes.

Tops: Shirts should not display inappropriate language or innuendos. Tops are to cover the midriff and no cleavage should be visible. No halter or strapless tops are permitted.

Bottoms: For females, shorts are to be at an appropriate length, the shortest being mid-thigh. Tight fitting clothes such as spandex, leggings, tights, etc. should not be worn without another piece of clothing that covers to the mid-thigh. For males, clothing needs to be up to the hip, no underwear should be seen.

Swim Wear: Girls should wear a one piece bathing suit. If a two piece bathing suit is worn, the top piece must clearly and reasonably overlap with the bottom piece.  If a two piece suit doesn't meet this standard, the camper will be asked to wear a dark-coloured t-shirt over top of the bathing suit. Boys must wear loose-fitting swim trunks with appropriate designs on them (no inappropriate language or innuendo).

These requirements also apply to banquet outfits.
