Onsite Clothing

We appreciate that when it’s hot and sunny everyone wants to shed a few layers of clothing. While there is no strict dress code, we would suggest that during the weekend people dress in a way that is appropriate so as not to cause unnecessary distractions and temptations for their peers. Speak to your group leader if you are unsure about this.
