Camp Clothing FAQ:
Q: Can I wear tank tops at camp?
A: No, tank tops and halter tops are not allowed at camp. In sunny, hot weather, sunblock and clothing covering shoulders and back will protect against sunburn.
Q: What kind of shoes can I wear at camp?
A1: For general camp use, closed-toed shoes are required. Tennis shoes and the original Crocs worn with the heel strap are appropriate. Please also make sure to have a pair of shoes that will be appropriate for walking rough terrain if your group takes a hike.
A2: For showering, any shoe is appropriate.
A3: For the lake, the shoe needs to have a hard rubber bottom with straps or lacing that hold the shoe securely to the foot. Laced sneakers or other nonslip footwear designed for watersports are to be worn for sailing, canoeing, and kayaking. Teva-type sandals, tennis shoes, and aqua socks all fall under this category. Crocs, flip-flops, slides, and moccasin style shoes are not appropriate for lake activities.
DO NOT BRING TO CAMP: Food, candy, gum, and snacks are not allowed in the cabins because this attracts bugs, mice, and raccoons. No aerosol cans are permitted at camp. No “slide” type shoes without a heel strap are allowed. No sandals, flip-flops, halter tops, tank tops, or items in glass containers are permitted at camp. Do not bring hair dryers, curling irons, or electric clocks. The following items are camp program distractions and not appropriate for camp life. If found at camp, these items will be confiscated and given back to the parents on closing day: cell phones, personal music players, radios, electronic games, TVs, pagers, MP3 players, laptops, personal tablets (electronic devices of any kind!), pocket knives.
Things to remember when packing:
- Older clothes and equipment are best for camp life.
- Bring all items appropriate for the program you are attending.
- Be prepared for Oklahoma’s rapidly changing weather and bring appropriate clothing.
- Label everything with your first and last name and Troop # before packing it.
- Everything brought to camp should fit into bag(s) that you can carry to and from the parking lot, including your bedding. Only pack what you can carry by yourself.
