Staff and Volunteer Dress Code
Your physical grooming makes a statement to campers, parents, and other staff members and volunteers. While serving at Trail Ridge Camp, we ask that you limit your freedom concerning hairstyle, clothing, tattoos, and other outward physical accessories and fashions. If you have questions about your personal choices in these matters, and whether an article of clothing or style is appropriate, please consult the Trail Ridge Camp Dress Code or the Camp Director. Trail Ridge reserves the right to discern what styles and personal choices will be deemed as appropriate for camp.
Here's the Dress Code: Dress at camp is casual, but not sloppy. The length of the shorts and skirts must be no more than one hand’s width of the top of the knee (About 4 inches). Because of the nature of camp activities, when wearing skirts, shorts must be worn underneath. Tank tops, tight-fitting, or revealing clothes are not to be worn. Pants will be worn at the waist. Messages on clothing, jewelry, and other personal belongings that relate to drugs, alcohol, tobacco, immorality, and vulgarity are not permitted.
While serving at Trail Ridge Camp, our female staff members and volunteers will help us create an atmosphere of modesty by wearing one-piece bathing suits (or a two-piece suit combo that provides similar or better coverage) and covering swimwear with t-shirts and shorts while not participating in water activities. Our male staff members will show similar respect to women by wearing t-shirts when not participating in swimming activities, and to avoid Speedo-style swimsuits.
All tattoos that can be reasonably covered, must always remain covered around campers. Any tattoo showing nudity, immodesty, profanity, or vulgarity of any kind must always be covered. Failure to cover an offensive tattoo could result in your dismissal from camp.
All male staff members must remove pierced jewelry and are not to wear necklaces. Other accessories like rings and bracelets may be worn in good taste and moderation. Female staff members should practice conservative styles for ear piercings. Excessive ear piercing, visible body piercings, gauges, or bars are considered conservative styles.
