Modest swimsuits are expected for boys and girls. For girls this includes a one-piece swimsuit or a two-piece tankini that covers the entire stomach. If you do not have a swimsuit that fits these guidelines, you may wear a dark-colored T-shirt and shorts. Boys’ swim trunks must be loose fitting and at least mid-thigh in length.
Shirts
Backless shirts, halter-tops, and tank tops that are low cut, tight, or expose the stomach are not to be worn. This includes boys’ open-sided tank tops. Straps on tank tops and dresses must be at least two fingers in width. All shirts must cover undergarments.
Shorts/Pants
Shorts should be loose fitting and mid-thigh length. If wearing leggings or biker shorts, dress code compliant shorts must be worn over them. Dresses and skirts must also be at least mid-thigh in length. Shorts/pants must cover undergarments at all times.
Inappropriate Content
Clothing should not display inappropriate content including: profanity, drugs, alcohol, tobacco, or satanic references.
Footwear
Footwear must be worn at all times at camp (with the exception of inside the cabins). Closed-toed shoes are required for participation in field games and ropes course activities.
Medications at Camp
For camper safety, all medications are managed by the camp nurse. No medications (prescription or OTC) are permitted in cabins. Prescription medications and OTC allergy medications must be checked in with the nurse at registration.
Medication requirements: original container; camper name + prescribing physician; dosage instructions (doctor note if different); only the doses needed for the stay.
Sending Items After Camp Starts
If your camper forgets an item or you’d like to send something after the week has begun, you’re welcome to mail or drop off a package at the camp office. You can also purchase a gift package through our camp store. Care packages may be ordered during check-in or by calling the office before or during the week, and our team will assemble and deliver them to your camper.
