RYLA Packing List

Is there a “Dress Code” at RYLA?

It is important that everyone dress appropriately for their safety and to represent themselves as the leaders they are. Please stick to denim and cotton/cotton-blend materials. Nylon will not be allowed during Sunday activities. Short shorts (such as Nike shorts and Soffees) will not be allowed. Spaghetti straps and low-cut tops will not be allowed. All footwear should be closed-toe and appropriate for light athletic activity, i.e. tennis shoes or hiking boots.

What should I pack?

Below is an outline of recommended items to bring to camp based on feedback from past staffers and campers. Keep in mind that you will spend a large amount of time outdoors, thus clothes that can easily be layered and get dirty are best!
