Blueberry Blues: Why we have official camp clothing
Okay, we admit that our camp shorts are not quite stylish!! We are talking about our “Blueberry Blues” or “camp clothing”. Alford Lake Camp has official clothing for our campers, counselors and staff. And we all wear them every day! The practical reason is simple: camp is a busy and active place and we know these shorts and t-shirts will hold up day in and day out. The more subtle but equally important reason is the sense of community we create when we eliminate fashion trends and perceived “status” of certain brands and/or logos. We are a community that embraces WHO we are and not WHAT we have. Living together, playing together and sharing experiences together is easier when we focus on what we all have in common. Trust us, our campers and staff quickly embrace the simplicity of KNOWING what they are going to wear everyday.. ALC shorts, ALC shirt and if it is a chilly morning: an ALC sweatshirt!!! Camp clothing is part of our history, part of our commitment to the values that really matter and make camp life simpler and more fun for everyone.
Thank you for supporting a camp that builds a sense of unity and that stands for the importance of each individual! Get ready to put on those Blueberry Blues and enjoy another summer of fun on the shores of Alford Lake!
Warmly,
Sue McMullan, Director
Betsy Brayley, Assistant Director
