Any two-piece bathing suits must be covered with a t-shirt. (No tummies showing, please). Remember to send dry clothing on these days, including under garments.

Children with inappropriate clothing or shoes will be sent home or may not be allowed to participate in activities. Apply sunscreen on your child each morning before coming to camp. We will help your child remember to reapply during the day. Every effort will be made to make sure all articles of clothing, etc. are accounted for, but each child is responsible to keep track of his/her belongings. Please mark all of your child s belongings with their name. Always check the lost and found if you are missing any articles. We look forward to having your child explore their imagination at camp.
