A Note About Shoes

Except for swimming and loafing in the cabins, campers have to wear shoes all the time at camp. Believe it or not, it’s a state law… go figure.  Here are some recommendations.

  • Bring several pairs of old shoes.  Dry feet just cant be beat.
  • Flip Flops are totally acceptable and really nice for those dewy mornings. Caution, flip flops seem to break easy so have backups!  Flips flops do not work for wading in the river.
  • Water Socks are recommended for river wading and kayaking.
  • Old Tennis shoes are highly recommended for most of the running around and goofing off that we do here at Manna.
  • SOCKS! Please bring them!  Lots of them.  It will greatly help reduce the misery of soggy, stinky, blistery, feet!  If blisters do occur, foot soaks in the nurses station are free of charge!  … All together now… Dry feet just can’t be beat!
