As we train young leaders, we want them to grasp the importance of dressing appropriately for the environment and maintaining an appearance that honors Christ and exemplifies the “Look of a Leader”. As you are preparing and packing, know that the general vibe of the conference is that attendees dress nicer for the conference sessions and more casually for the theme parks.
SLU strives to train students in such a way that they will have the confidence and wisdom to walk into any room and be prepared for whatever is before them. We believe that how you present yourself is a vital part of that. To set our attendees up for success, we have established a few guidelines that will help everyone dress for the occasion.
Leaders will ensure that their shirts fully cover the front, back, sides and shoulders and are not overly tight. Sleeveless tops are suitable as long as the strap is wide enough that it covers the shoulders.
Leaders will ensure that their shorts, skirts, skorts and dresses are an appropriate length, are not overly short (think fingertip length or longer), and do not draw unwanted attention to any part of the body.
It is often cold in the conference room, so you may want to pack a sweatshirt/light jacket for sessions.
These dress guidelines apply to all parts of the conference experience – sessions, meals, park time, free time etc., and applies to both students and adult leaders. If anyone chooses to dress outside of these guidelines, he/she will be asked to change. We know that the same item of clothing can look differently on different people, so we have established these guidelines to empower our attendees to make wise choices for themselves as they prepare for the conference. If you have any questions about this, feel free to reach out!
Every student that attends SLU 101 must have an up-to-date medical release form on file through Sherwood Baptist Church. Medical release forms must be notarized and completed by the students legal guardian. Students must also complete the SLU 101 Participation Waiver online (sent via email before the trip).
