Packing List

Please remember that at camp we get dirty, wet, spend time at arts and crafts (with paint, glue, etc.), and do a variety of activities that will cause clothes and shoes to come home much rougher than when they came to camp. Please don’t send items that you expect to stay clean.

**Please label all items that you pack with your child’s name**

CYC Dress Code

Modest is Hottest at CYC

_{At Catholic Youth Camp, campers, staff and guests are expected to respect God, each other and oneself at all times. Modesty includes appropriate behavior, language and conversation, and appropriate dress.}

• No inappropriate words or pictures on any clothing (ie- vulgar language, violent, sexual, discriminatory, offensive, or tobacco or alcohol promoting content).
• No visible underwear
• No extremely tight clothing
• You must be fully dressed in all common areas (ie- shirts must stay on while playing sports, etc.)

Tops

• No cleavage-baring and/or midriff-baring shirts
• Shirts that are transparent (see-through), expose a bare back, halter tops, and tube tops are prohibited
• Tank top straps must be at least 1-inch wide

Bottoms

• Must be worn at the waist (sagging is not allowed)
• Shorts must reach fingertips when arms hang at your side

Bathing Suits

• Females: one-piece suits recommended, however, two-piece suits that meet are allowed as long as they are modestly cut. No string, thong, or crochet suits allowed.
• Males: swim trunks only (no Speedo or bikini style)

Shoes

• Flip flops are for the shower only! Uneven terrain, active programming, and the overall camp environment require more support and coverage than flip flops offer.
• Crocs are not recommended but, if brought, must have a usable strap for ‘sport mode’.
• High-heeled or dress shoes are not appropriate camp footwear.
