I'm not quite sure if it is a "written" law at camp, but since I can remember, it has always been a camp of modesty and the one-piece bathing suit. Thank goodness for that. Suits are so creative to this day, from floral print to groovy to the skirt with skirt cover up.
At age 42, I'm just not ready for the bathing skirt. But I bet you when my mom was my age, she was wearing one. But great memories of past staff come to my mind when I think of the bathing skirt: Marge Rios, Peggy Bernhart, Nursie Jan, Mother Goof and Bonnie Hobden. None wore those any better than they. What sweet memories. They were bathing beauties. Who do you remember in the bathing skort?
So ladies, when it comes to picking out a suit, have fun and make great camp memories! And if you're one of the lucky ones, you'll find one in your team color! The only luck I had with this one was that I bought it mid summer and it was half off the clearance price. That's something to smile about!
Memories from Yancy Parks:I just remember not to bring a bathing suit with any light coloring because the lake scum would turn any light parts brown. And you had to bring a extra "Obey Suit" (and shoes) that you know you wouldn't even bring back home. All the Obey Suits had rust stains all over the bottoms. I can taste that lemony water all over again.
