Dress at camp must be modest! Cale Retreat Staff reserves the right to make the decision of what is appropriate wear. Girls must wear one-piece swimsuits or a long dark t-shirt over any two-piece or, "belly showing" swimsuit or clothing. Please, no short-shorts or rolled up shorts! The purpose of summer camp is to focus on God and have a fun time in the process. We hope you understand that all policies are made with this goal in mind. Please keep this in mind when choosing your camper's outfits for their week of camp. Flip-flop type sandals are great to wear around camp; however, your camper will be running during games, climbing a rockwall, and may be walking on cables on the ropes course, so strap on sandals or tennis shoes are needed. Thanks! Visit our web site www.caleretreat.org after Tuesday to look for pictures of your campers. Go to "pictures" and the "week" your camper is here. More pictures will be posted as soon as possible during the week.

Please read! One friend may be chosen, and we will put you in the cabin with them. We will try and put you with all your friends, but that may be difficult as some campers send in applications late. The earlier your friends send in their applications, the better chance you have of them being in your cabin.
All campers will take part in 3 different - 1-hour program activities each day. Campers will stay in the same 3 classes during the week. Please number all the programs, (1 being their first choice, 2 being their second, 3 being their third preference) Number camper's 4th and 5th choice in case their 1st or 2nd choice is full. Please take note of some programs that are limited by age. Programs are filled on a first come basis. Please take note! Campers will not be able to take some programs if ineligible because of age. Number all you choices!!!
All campers of all ages will have plenty of free swim/water time each day.
