Skintight clothing is not considered appropriate coverage unless worn as a base layer.
Undergarments should never be visible.
Sleeveless shirts are permissible, but tank tops are not allowed.

Pets At Camp
Dogs and other pets are not allowed to be out on camp property even if they are on a leash. Accidents in various forms happen even with pets that have always been reliably well-behaved. As Trail Ridge is a pet-free facility, we respectfully ask that your pets (even the ones you consider to be family) stay home.
Vehicles
For the safety of camp participants, all vehicles must maintain the posted speed limit of 15 mph or less. All vehicles must stay on the roads, not on walking trails or to the lake without prior consent of the camp director. Groups must stay on the roads and refrain from driving through unplowed areas. Vehicles at camp are intended for the use of convenience, not recreation. When parked, keys must be removed from any vehicle for the safety of all guests. Vehicles may only be operated by adults age 18 or older with a valid driver’s license.
