It is also a good idea to make a list of a camper's clothes and belongings. This aids in packing to go home. We are not responsible for any items lost. Clothes For Riding and Other Activities: Please bring a variety of clothing suitable for all types of weather, as Washington can be unpredictable. Anything that can get ripped, dirty, etc. is suitable. You can bring shorts, Tees, tank tops, sweatshirts. *A few pair of jeans, breeches, or long pants. It is best to go with non slippery materials. *Ankle/paddock boots with a 1/2 inch heel are ideal. Half chaps are wonderful. Dress boots in rubber or leather are not recommended. Please no hiking boots or high heeled cowboy boots. Also no boots with super shiny slick soles. Please don't wear new boots to camp. Break them in long before coming to camp.

I cannot tell you how many times an expensive camera goes missing... This presents us with a very worried camper. We always find them, but not without much unnecessary panic and disruption. We sell disposable cameras in the store. Op- iPod Listening to music is only allowed before bed, not during the day, and not all night long. We feel ipods can inhibit ones ability to meet others, they can create a bubble around you and by doing this, campers miss out on the fun of camp. Not Allowed: Floats for pool Chewing gum Anything illegal We used to have a ban on all cell phones. Times have changed, and mobile phones are a way of life. They are our cameras, our journals, and our contact with the outside world. We allow phones now, however any misuse or if it becomes a barrier between you and other campers, we will confiscate. Messages may be left for campers at 360-780-0808 or they may be emailed to ChastainMist@gmail.com . There is a $1 charge for each email delivered to campers. This comes out of the camper's Mane Market account.
