At Hume Lake this year, the girls on staff decided to make a fun statement about the importance of dressing modestly. On the first night of camp, they sent the guys out of chapel first and performed this fun medley of pop songs with the words changed in order to illustrate in a fun way the dress code for the week at camp.

If you listen carefully to the lyrics (its easier if you actually download the song rather than just watching the video, although I recommend both because in the video you get to enjoy the sweet dance moves too), the point of this isn't just to tell the girls they need to dress appropriately. More importantly, they stressed that our worth is so much more than what we wear, how we look, etc. and that God made us all beautiful on the outside AND inside so we don't need to focus on trying to impress others with our outside appearance.

For the record there were also instructions given to the guys as well on dressing modestly, they just didn't get as cool of a delivery. :) This is by no means just a girl dilemma, believe it or not, boys deal with self-esteem and wanting to impress people with their appearance as well (how else do you explain those body-builder types that practically live at the gym).

It may be a little bit different in the way we express it, but males and females alike all struggle with self image at one point or another. And that is why I am glad that the Hume Lake staff took the time to put together this performance for the ladies at camp and then make it available online for all of us to enjoy, both the ladies and gentlemen, as well as those who weren't able to make it to camp this year. It's a funny performance, but the lyrics have a lot of truth to them (well most of them at least). :)

They kept this video a secret during camp for the summer so it wouldn't be ruined for the upcoming campers, but now that camp is over, it can finally be relived via the internet. And now the guys can enjoy it too. ;)
