Staff and Volunteer Dress Code

Your physical appearance makes a statement to campers, parents, and other staff members and volunteers. While serving at Trail Ridge Camp, we ask that you limit your freedom concerning hairstyle, clothing, tattoos, and other outward physical accessories and fashions. If you have questions about your personal choices in these matters, and whether an article of clothing or style is appropriate, please consult the Trail Ridge Camp Dress Code or the Camp Director. Trail Ridge reserves the right to request any staff member or volunteer to change clothing if, in the staff's judgement, the outfit is immodest, inappropriate, or inconsistent with the camp's standards.

When packing, please choose clothing that reflects modesty. Here are the guidelines:
Shorts must be no shorter than mid-thigh.
Skintight clothing is not considered appropriate coverage unless worn as a base layer.
Undergarments should never be visible.
Sleeveless shirts are permissible, but tank tops are not allowed.
Clothing with inappropriate messages (suggestive language or content promoting non-biblical values) is not permitted.
Cover-ups that comply with the dress code must be worn to and from the pool.
Tattoos that can be reasonably covered, must always remain covered around campers. Any tattoo showing nudity, immodesty, profanity, or vulgarity of any kind must always be covered. Failure to cover an offensive tattoo could result in your dismissal from camp.
Ladies/Girls: Swimwear must be a modest one-piece or full coverage shorts and shirt combination. Skirts and dresses must be knee-length or longer, and shorts must be worn underneath for camp activities. Female staff members should practice conservative styles for ear piercings. Excessive ear piercing, visible body piercings, gauges, or bars are not considered conservative styles.
Men/Boys: Swimwear must be boxer-style swim trunks. All male staff members must remove pierced jewelry and are not to wear necklaces. Other accessories like rings and bracelets may be worn in good taste and moderation.
