This is a disclaimer for anyone going to camp. Don't bring spaghetti tank tops. The counselors won't let you wear them. Apparently they think that the tanks give the wrong messages to the boys. But come on. We wear them all the time when we're not in camp so I don’t really see the problem. But rules are rules. This is something that is not posted on the forms for camp on what to bring and when I went I brought a lot of them but could not wear them. So just a reminder don't bring them.

Well the counselors may not like them but the boys certainly enjoy seeing girls wearing them. Too bad the counselors don't agree.

Ya I'm sure you do but that's not the only reason we wear them. When its so hot like it is down there, we want as little clothing on as possible. This is not to attract the boys nessesarily but because we get really hot. Temperature hot that is. And my gosh we show more off in our bathing suits than we do in tank tops. So I don't see what the big problem is.

I dont see a problem with it either. The only thing the paperwork says about stuff like that is to bring conservative clothing and swim suits which i think is a little to broad they need to define it better.

True its better to overpack than it is to underpack. I had my walkman with me but the only time i ever got to listen to it was on the plane.

I agree that the rule about spaghetti straps is stupid... but then again who follows the rules?


Yeah, I'm talkin about you Erin :wink:

Besides we don't need no stinkin' rules. 8)

This is really not as bad as it sounds though. Matt your making me out to be this terrible criminal and breaker of rules. Well maybe I did break a few but Matt your not a Saint yourself.

Yes, it's helpful for car rides as well and also if you have allergies.

The ones in the Hab are so small and useless. The blankets aren't that good either but it's to difficult for me to be able to bring a blanket to camp or I would.

Why is it so difficult to bring a blanket? I'm just bringing a small fleece one. it might be small, but it's definitely warm.

A blanket would probably be a good idea i never really thought about that before. Those rooms can get really cold at night.

I never thought of that, but I'd probably use both blankets and the pillow they give you and the pillow I'll be bringing.
