Uniform: Any form of uniform is acceptable. Some units have their own sweatshirts…these are fine. Ties should be worn. Camp hats of some form are a necessity.

Participation: All units are expected to participate in all activities. The planning staff work hard to make May Camp a successful event but it will not be much fun without full, enthusiastic participation of all.
