As role models for our campers, we always choose appropriate clothing, and present ourselves with a clean and neat appearance (this includes maintaining regular personal hygiene).

Staff Uniform: The staff uniform consists of a staff shirt (provided) AND black shorts (chino or khaki fabric) with at least a 5-inch inseam. This uniform will be worn on opening and closing days (days when campers arrive and leave), and other important times when we want to look our best!
Everyday Attire: Everyday attire is very relaxed and casual. You’ll want to bring at least a week’s worth of clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty – you have an assigned laundry day once a week. T-shirts and athletic shorts that follow the dress code are great choices.
Shoes: All staff must wear closed-toe shoes with a back or strap and socks while campers are present at camp. Croc-like shoes and most Keen sandals are acceptable so long as they have a back strap and closed toe. Why? To protect your feet! At camp we will be walking a LOT on sometimes uneven ground and walking through wooded areas. There are two exceptions to this rule:
Flip-flops or sandals are permitted in the shower/pool area.
One day a week, at the leadership staff’s discretion, staff may be able to wear Chaco-like sandals with a back strap and open toes.

At Winona, and in all of Girl Scouting, we are committed to diversity and fair treatment for everyone. We believe that the quality of your work should be judged by the quality of your work, and not on any personal identification standard or appearance-based standard. However, we are very committed to our responsibility as professional role models, which includes presenting a “clean” and neat appearance, avoiding excessive or vulgar displays of facial piercings or body modifications and adhering to the camp dress code. Modifications to your personal appearance are completely acceptable as long as they:
• Do not detract from the mission of camp.
• Are not deemed excessive, vulgar or offensive to campers, camper parents or other camp staff.
• Do not change noticeably during the course of any single camp session. (i.e. blue hair on Wednesday, no hair on Thursday)
We also recommend that you save all new tattoos until after your summer adventure at camp. Tattoos do not heal well in hot, humid environments or on sweaty bodies. Your tattoo is permanent - you want it to look good and heal well.
