At Hickory Cove Bible Camp, we ask all campers to respect Biblical principles by adhering to our rules of conduct. We recognize the importance of modest appearance in showing respect for each other and to God in how we dress and act. Therefore, we expect all campers and visitors to adhere to the following guidelines, which will be enforced.
