We ask that campers wear a Camp Harmony shirt every single day they’re at Camp (and whenever else the mood strikes them)!

T-Shirts
Many people ask why we require campers to wear a Camp Harmony shirt (t-shirt or tank-top) every day of Camp.  Our reasons are simple and time-tested: First, it eliminates competition with designer clothing during the summer.  Second, we don’t see a need for you to go out and buy expensive store-bought clothing because third, we don’t want your children coming home with Arts & Crafts paint on those same expensive store-bought shirts!  But fourth and most importantly, it’s much easier to spot some-one who doesn’t belong on the grounds.  For this reason, all of our staff also are required to wear Camp Harmony shirts whenever on grounds.

Camp Harmony “gear” must be worn even on those days which call for special dress, Example: for Red, White & Blue Day, we still want our campers to wear red, white and/or blue as pants or socks, but still wear the matching camp shirt.

For this and other reasons, we often get the question, “How many shirts (or tanks) do I need?!”  That’s a tough one…but it really boils down to how often you want to do laundry!  Some families buy 3 shirts and others buy 10!  It’s completely up to you!

T-shirts are sold at our T-Shirt Extravaganza every June in the Camp Harmony gym.  We ask that families please make every effort to attend (or send a friend, neighbor, etc.) since ordering shirts over the summer is discouraged. As in the past, we'll gladly accept cash and checks and credit cards.

 

Other Clothing
In addition to purchased shirts, campers will also receive a personalized Camp Harmony backpack prior to the start of Camp (included with tuition and waiting for you at our T-Shirt Day in June).  After years of trying to limit the amount of packing and re-packing bags you have to do as a parent, we’ve finally developed a system of only sending bags home on Friday afternoons and sending them back in on Monday mornings.  Bathing suits & towels should be sent each Monday and we’ll see to it that they are returned to you for laundry each Friday. The other items will be kept in the campers’ cubbies for the season and sent home during the last week. 

We ask that ALL items be clearly labeled with camper's full name (first and last name, since sometimes items are left at the pools, on the fields, or in the playgrounds not just in the cabin where we could identify to which group the item belonged).  Returning the items is possible when the full name is inside the item in an obvious location.  Children just do not claim their clothing if it is not marked!  In the past, families have used companies such as http://labelighthouse.com for stick-on labels for clothing, shoes, and other items or http://irononmdlabels.com for iron-on labels in various fonts and sizes.
