Staff Dress Guidelines

Staff appearance guidelines include daily hygiene, a tidy appearance and appropriate sporty casual attire. We furnish one, free staff T-shirt per counselor. This T-shirt is required on arrival day, departure day, and on any field trips. You will also wear your camp nametag every day at camp; this helps campers remember your nickname. We call it a passport! The kids wear them, too. A replacement staff T-shirt costs 5 euros.
