CLOTHING, LAUNDRY & PACKING 
Camp clothing is casual and informal, but within the bounds of good taste. No ripped jeans, or ripped T-shirts.  Listed below is a guide to what to bring.

We do require you bring at least two (2) pairs of white, khaki and/or black shorts.  You must also have seven (7) staff shirts (provided upon your arrival). If you have staff shirts from previous summers at Camp, you will not need to buy new ones, but they MUST be presentable!! This means not ripped, stained or marked up. Staff are required to wear our uniform shirts daily. Make sure your first and last names are on EVERYTHING with name tapes or laundry markers...and we mean EVERYTHING! Camp Staff wear 'Camp Staff Shirts' everyday. Make sure you bring sufficient rain gear and rain shoes or boots to combat any possible rainy season and morning dew.  (for the International Staff, that's waterproof shoes or boots, not "wellies"!). Be sure you bring plenty of athletic socks...they are REQUIRED to be worn for ALL ACTIVITIES.

PLEASE NOTE: ONLY one-piece bathing suits may be worn at CT.  We also recommend you
DO NOT bring any jewelry or other valuable items to Camp. CAMP TOWANDA IS NOT RESPONSIBLE for loss or damage to any of your belongings. If you do bring valuable items, we suggest you keep them in the camp safe!  We suggest that your personal items be covered through a personal effects/homeowners policy. If you would like some assistance with obtaining a policy, please contact us.
