A reminder that our dress code includes tops that cover the elbows and collarbone, and skirts that cover the knees. Campers may choose to wear tights, knee socks, or short socks that cover the ankle. Only natural hair colours are permitted. We know that not everyone has the same dress code in their homes and/or schools as we do at camp, but we do ask that all campers abide by our dress code. Oversized t-shirts are NOT permitted unless accompanied by appropriate layering.
