Nassau County DPF 4-H Camp
Notes about Appropriate Clothing:

Beachwear

  • Girls- All bathing suits should be
    modest. One piece and tankinis are
    encouraged.
  • Boys- Only boxer style suits should
    be worn at camp. No brief style
    suits are allowed.

Everyday Wear

  • Girls- Short shorts (with your
    "cheeks" showing), slit shorts, tube
    tops, and sheer tops are not
    allowed. Shirts must cover your
    stomach at all times
  • Boys- Shirts must be worn at all
    times unless you are at the beach.
    If you wear baggy shorts or pants,
    they must be "pulled up" with no
    underwear visible.

Logos and Advertisements

  • Inappropriate language or graphics
    on clothing is unacceptable.
  • This includes advertising of
    alcohol, tobacco, or illegal drugs,
    as well as clothing with sexual
    content or sexual innuendos.
  • Ask if you are unsure!
Packing for Camp

Since most staff remain at camp for the entire summer, you should plan on
bringing sufficient clothing for that time.  
Washers and dryers are available for free for staff use during their break time.
