We are excited to welcome your child/children  to our summer workshop at St. Stephens Lutheran Church and to help maintain a respectful, safe, and comfortable environment for all participants, we kindly ask that you review and adhere to the dress code outlined below.

Disclaimer:

This workshop includes indoor and light outdoor activities such as crafts, games, music, dancing and learning sessions. All students should come dressed in comfortable, modest, and activity-friendly clothing. As we are in a church facility, we ask that their attire be respectful of the space.

Dress Code Rules:

 Modest and Respectful Attire

• Clothing must cover the midriff, chest, and undergarments at all times.

• No crop tops, low-cut shirts, spaghetti straps, or see-through garments.

• Shorts and skirts should reach at least mid-thigh when standing.

• Sleeveless shirts should have straps at least two fingers wide.

• No clothing with inappropriate images, language, or references (e.g., violence, profanity, pop culture with suggestive themes).

By enrolling your child/children in the workshop, you acknowledge that you’ve read and agree to follow these dress code guidelines. If a child arrives in attire that does not meet the standards, a parent may be contacted to bring a change of clothing.

We appreciate your cooperation in helping us provide a safe and respectful space for all children to grow, play, and learn together.
