What is the Dress Code at Wilderwood Camps?
At Wilderwood Camps, we want every camper to feel comfortable, safe, and ready for a day full of adventure. Our dress code is designed to ensure safety, practicality, and camp spirit throughout all activities.
What Should Campers Wear?
Camp Shirt:
Camp shirts are required every day at Wilderwood Camps. Wearing the camp shirt helps us easily identify campers and creates a sense of community and unity. Each camper will receive their shirt at the start of their session. Additional shirts are available for purchase if needed.Comfortable, Weather-Appropriate Clothing:
Pair the camp shirt with shorts, athletic pants, or other comfortable bottoms suitable for outdoor play and weather conditions.Closed-Toe Shoes:
To keep campers safe during activities, they must wear closed-toe shoes, such as sneakers or hiking boots. Sandals, flip-flops, or open-toe shoes are not allowed.
Additional Recommendations:
Layering for Weather:
On cooler days, campers should bring a jacket or sweater that can easily be removed as the day warms up.Water Activities:
For days with water-based activities, campers should pack a swimsuit, towel, and water shoes. These can be worn under their camp shirt when necessary.Messy Play:
For activities that might get messy, like crafts or mud play, a change of clothes is recommended.

Jewelry or accessories that could get lost or pose safety hazards.
