What should I wear: 

Everyone...

1. Hiking boots or shoes--well broken in by Trek. Try to avoid wearing mesh shoes that can allow sand into your socks which makes it easier to get blisters.

2. A comfortable pair of shoes to wear around the camp.  Please NO flip-flops, sandals, or open-toed shoes (Optional).

3. Clean changes of underwear

4. One set of pajamas to sleep in

5. Three pairs of moisture wicking socks

6. Three pairs of sock liners 

7. Work gloves

8. Sweatshirt and windbreaker, or warm coat 

9. Lightweight rain poncho

10. Bug Repellant

 

Young Women...

1. One or two above ankle length dresses with long sleeves or ankle length skirts made from solid or small print cotton fabrics (full enough to comfortably walk in them). If wearing skirts, you will need one or two long sleeved blouses (no t-shirts, logos or sheer fabrics allowed).

2. One or two pantaloons (scrubs or pajama pants or leggings are fine) ankle length.

3. Bonnet or wide brimmed straw hat with tie on chin strap for securing to head (no baseball caps)

4. One or two aprons with recommended pockets

5. Simple pioneer skirt with apron

6. Simple pioneer bonnet

 

Young Men...

1. One or two pair long loose fitting cotton docker type pants or jeans (no shorts of any length are allowed)

2. One or two long sleeved loose fitting button up shirts. Light colors will be cooler  (no t-shirts or logos allowed)
