What is your electronics policy?

Camp Arnes provides a safe place to “power off” devices and “plug in” to God’s Word and creation for campers. With few exceptions, staff members will be expected to hand in their phones to the office at the beginning of each week. This way, there will be no virtual distractions between you and your campers.

 

Is there a uniform?

Every staff member will receive a Camp Staff T-Shirt that they must wear on Mondays and Saturdays. We ask that staff wear modest, non-provocative and weather appropriate clothes throughout the remainder of the week.
