Dress Code Purpose
It is our desire that Ponderosa Bible Camp be a place where our campers are not distracted from what God has in store for them during their stay at camp, a place where they can focus their eyes and their hearts on their relationship with Jesus, a place where they are not "tempted" by the flesh.
Therefore campers are required to adhere to the "Camp Dress Code" as follows, be sure to remember "Modesty is our Policy."
