WHOA! What should I wear to camp?
These are outdoor adventures and as such you need to wear appropriate attire for the season. Footwear, in particular, is important. Many of the events require walking around the camp and sneakers may not be the best option, especially in the spring during mud season. Boots or other sturdy shoes are the best option.
Note: At no time are open-toed shoes or sandals allowed on camp property. There are too many places where people can stub toes and twist ankles, so please leave these at home! No Dogs Allowed on this one everyone!
