1 8300 Eastern Ave Bell Gardens, CA Dear Pastor, Praise the Lord and greetings in Jesus wonderful name! Pacific Coast Camp is the vision of a group of concerned Apostolic pastors to promote spiritual growth and maturity for the entire family. Camp activities are designed to address the needs of young people, ages 7-25 that have never been married and have no children. Strengthening individual commitment to Jesus Christ is the first step toward creating strong families and dynamic churches. In an effort to maintain a safe and holy atmosphere, Pacific Coast Camp will require the following: Godly and modest dress must be worn at all times, not only in church services, but also in all recreational and social activities. No short sleeves (3/4 length sleeve required), no slits in skirts/dresses, no low-cut tops, no tight or form-fitting apparel, no short skirts/dresses (well-below knees), no worldly hairstyles or long sideburns, and no make-up or jewelry of any kind will be tolerated. Each youth attending the camp will lodge in the facilities provided. Other arrangements may be made if deemed necessary by the camper's pastor. These arrangements should be communicated by the pastor to the camp principal, and the camp principal will make the final determination. The pastor, assistant pastor, or a minister approved by the pastor from the local church needs to be present at camp for any young people from that church to be in attendance. No personal electronic devices such as, cell phones, laptop computers, tablet devices, mp3 players, radios, headphones (walkmans or boom boxes), or music will be permitted for any youth campers.
