REASONS FOR THE DRESS CODE
In life, we have three enemies, the World, the Devil, and the Flesh.  After Adam and Eve sinned, we were all born with a sin nature, which is the flesh.

Camp Red Arrow is a Christian camp and as such we are striving to provide a “safe” place not only physically, but spiritually.  We want to minimize fleshly distractions in order to promote spiritual growth.

•    We try to keep out the world’s influence by limiting access to the media (no radios, TV, etc. allowed).
•    We are looking for godly staff members, not perfect people, but those who truly love God more than the world.
•    By dressing modestly, we provide an atmosphere that helps us not to focus on the flesh, but on God.  

​

Our overall desire is to bring glory to God and point attention to Him and not to bring undue attention to ourselves.

1 Corinthians 10:31  Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. 

1 Timothy 2:9  In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel,

Galatians 5:13  For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
