Wearing Nephite-style clothing at all times is essential for staying in character and maintaining the spirit of the camp. Use these guidelines to ensure your gear is both authentic and practical.

🧵 The "Nephite Look"

• Quantity: Each participant is required to bring two complete sets of costumes.

• Fabric & Colors: Choose earth tones and natural hues (browns, tans, greys, deep greens).

  • Avoid: Logos, neon or bright colors, and large, distracting patterns.

• Design: Tunics should be knee-length.

  • Tip: Cut a slit in each side of the tunic to allow for easier movement during games and activities.

• Sizing: Make costumes large enough to fit over warm clothing. You will be wearing T-shirts and shorts/pants underneath, and may need a sweater or jacket if it gets cold.

👒 Headwear & Accessories

• Sun Protection: A head covering is highly recommended to prevent heatstroke.

  • Approved: Bandanas, headbands, woven straw hats, or shepherd-style head coverings.

  • Avoid: Baseball caps, toques, cowboy hats, or modern styles.

• Gear: Youth groups are encouraged to make shields and walking sticks together before camp.

• Weaponry Note: Individual swords of any material are NOT permitted. If swords are needed for specific battle training or re-enactments, they will be provided by the Committee.

👟 Footwear

You will need to bring a pair of reliable shoes.

1. Athletic Shoes (preferably weatherproof): A pair of running shoes is recommended for running games and active challenges.

2. Sandals (optional): for wearing around the Beach and swimming activities.
