Each day there is a cabin cleanup theme. Monday is anything about the camp theme, Tuesday is manly men and girly girls, Wednesday is counselor appreciation day, and Thursday is traps and tricks. Many campers and counselors like to bring decorating supplies for this purpose. It’s a fun way to build cabin unity and earn points for your team. Please do not use duct tape on walls or bunks, lipstick on mirrors, or anything else that leaves a mess.
Please put the camper’s name on everything! Call the Camp Office at (559) 337-2349 if your child has lost something. Items are only held for two (2) weeks after camp.

DRESS CODE
We have the unique opportunity to create a setting that fosters spiritual, relational, and personal growth. Your dress can help or hinder that goal, so please be modest. While this list does not include every imaginable article of clothing or fashion trend, here are some guidelines to help you keep everyone’s best interests in mind.
- Tops end where bottoms begin. Your midriff belongs behind one or the other.
- We’re all about unity when it comes to swimwear. Please wear modest one-piece bathing suits only (or a colored T-shirt over).
- Underwear belongs UNDER your other clothes. Don’t go showing it off.
- Sleepwear is for sleeping in. Please don’t wear your jammies around camp.
- Yoga pants are for doing yoga in. Save the tight-fitting pants/shorts for the gym back home, or cover them with a long shirt.
- And as ironic as it may sound, the longer the shorts, the better. At least fingertip length, please.
…that about “covers” it – please do likewise (pun intended).
Counselors
- Bring a fan and an extension cord for your cabin. It can be hot up here, and a fan really helps you and your campers sleep comfortably.
- Bring a large illuminated clock so you can keep your campers on schedule.
Parents
Hartland is very isolated, and there are no gasoline stations nearby. Make sure you fill up before you come up the mountain. Please take a moment to read our note to parents or find directions to Hartland for more details.
Medical
We desire to provide a fun yet safe environment for each camper. To accomplish this, a Registered Nurse is on-site and available 24 hours a day to assist with medical emergencies, first-aid, and administration of medications. Please ensure that the medical release form is filled out completely. All campers’ medications must be in their original containers, labeled with name and clear instructions. Multiple medications should then be placed in a clearly labeled zip-lock bag for each individual and turned in to the nurse upon check-in. Learn more about our policies and procedures regarding special dietary needs.
Camper Mail
To ensure that mail reaches campers, please mail letters or packages 4-5 days before the desired delivery date. You may also drop packages off at the office on arrival day.
