What can I wear at Camp?
When it comes to appropriate camp attire: think role model and safety.
General guidelines include:
The bottom of your shirt should touch the top of your pants/shorts.
Certain trends in clothing are strictly prohibited: no under garments are to be seen and shorts should be appropriate length.
Closed toed shoes are mandatory in certain program areas like: biking, sports and hiking.
In the kitchen, staff wear close-toed, skid proof shoes, hair pulled back and no dangly accessories.
When spending time down at our beach with campers, we ask that female staff wear a one piece athletic type suit that will not easily fall down. For male staff, the same consideration of not wearing a swimsuit that rides low on the torso while in the water is expected.
Bring clothes that will be conducive to changes in temperature. Mornings and evenings are cool and afternoons usually warm. Prepare for a rainstorm at least once a month at Camp.
A staff shirt will be provided and will be worn on the opening day of each camp session.
