Getting Ready for Camp
Dress Code:
We have a dress code of modesty. Nothing with slogans promoting alcohol, sex,
tobacco, drugs, profanity, or death themes. One-piece swimsuits for girls (tankinis that cover
the entire belly are allowed); swim trunks instead of briefs (Speedos) for boys. You may wear a
t-shirt over your swimsuit for swimming, if you wish. Girls should not wear sports bras alone,
tops too short to tuck in, short shorts, or tight clothes. Tank tops are ok, but should not be
underwear style, or show belly or bra. Guys do not go shirtless except at waterfront or pool, nor
should their underwear ever show. No underwear style tank tops. Shoes, shirts, and
pants/shorts are to be worn in the dining hall, as required by the Health Department. Sandals
are permitted. Closed-toed shoes are needed for some activities and water shoes for the
playing in the sound.
Note: there are very specific packing lists for each camp. Please review these.
