What should a camper pack?
Even though our counselors take great care of each child, it is
inevitable that some items of clothing or equipment will be misplaced
during the camp week. Proper identification will greatly assist camp
staff in returning these articles to the proper camper. Please
inventory every article taken to camp and attach the list to the inside
of the suitcase. Mark each item clearly with your child’s full name or
initials, including the clothing they wear to camp. Camp will not
assume responsibility for lost articles so please do not bring items of
considerable monetary or sentimental value to camp. Please label each
piece of luggage clearly with camper’s name and city where they will be
dropped off.
The following items are recommended for camp:
2 Sweat shirts or sweaters
3 Shirts
1 Large Beach Towel
2 or 3 Pairs of Pants
2 or 3 Pairs of Shorts
1 Raincoat or Poncho
1 Set of dress clothes for the Banquet

Do you have a dress code?
The Board of Directors at Camp Aush-Bik-Koong has adopted the following
dress code as camp policy. Thank you for taking the time to ensure that
your child’s clothing conforms to these standards. God’s Word teaches
that we are to dress modestly (1 Tim. 2:9, 1 Cor. 12:23), and that we
should act in ways that would not cause a brother or sister in Christ
to stumble (1 Cor. 10:32). Because of this, we ask that both campers
and staff dress modestly in the following ways:
Bathing Attire: Girls, please wear modest one piece bathing suits.
Two-piece swim suits are permitted when covered by a long, dark
T-shirt. Guys, wear shorts-style bathing suits; please, no speedos.
Daily Attire: Pants/shorts/skirts that are skin-tight or too short are
not permitted. Shirts must be modest and cover the torso (ie. Halter
tops/cropped shirts/shirts that ride up, one-strap tank tops, and
spaghetti strap shirts are not appropriate at camp. Shirts that refer
to or advocate drugs, alcohol, tobacco, or that contain offensive words
or symbols are not permitted at camp.
We reserve the right to ask a staff or camper to change if we feel
his/her clothing is inappropriate. Our desire with this clothing policy
is to honour scriptural guidelines, and remove distractions that would
hinder camp’s purpose and goals.
Is there anything campers are not allowed to bring?
Please ensure that the following items are NOT brought to camp:
-Electronic devices…including video games, cell phones, pagers, computers, walkmans/Discmans/mp3 players, etc.
-Weapons
-Snack Food (Campers are well fed at ABK, and we have a Tuck shop that is open daily for them to purchase snacks)
-GUM!!!!
