Clothing Notes:
Footwear: Depending on the activity, we have requirements based on safety. Please pack a variety of footwear that will cover all the bases.
Athletic shoes are required for some activities (eg; sports, challenge course, biking, games that require running)
Sturdy shoes (ie: boots) may be required for hiking, strenuous “work” projects and farm and animal care
Sandals (keens, crocs, flip flops, etc) are fine to wear around camp for some activities. However, it is very easy to twist an ankle while walking some paths (just ask Joe, our director!)
Casual Dance
We have a casual dance at least once a session. Campers should bring fun festive clothes to wear.
Laundry Service
Laundry service will be provided weekly by an outside compamy. There is no extra fee. We do not do camper laundry on site unless absolutely necessary.
Packing Suggestions:
Less is more. This is camp!
Plastic drawers and under-the-bed storage containers are useful but not required. We do have dressers with 2-3 drawers per camper and shelving.
If you have any questions or concerns please contact the camp office and we will be happy to assist you.
