Team Colors

Those Odd and Even bags? Bring ’em back out! You could recycle those colors to dress up as…

  • A cactus (very on-trend!)
  • The Pageant Court (just add an American Flag!)
  • Sunshine (June Campers - remember those metallic hula skirts? Bingo!)
  • A green Shasta can
  • The camp Honey Bear
  • Your favorite Dog Camp Yellow Lab
  • The ultimate team rivelry - Odds vs. Evens!
  • A pineapple

A few more ideas

  • Wear your Chacos, add a white sheet, and some ivy from your yard, and you’re a Grecian Goddess!
  • Pop your Crazy Creek up over your head (like a tent!), put on your best camping gear (don’t forget the flashlight!), and you’re a backpacker.
  • All those camp t-shirts you love? Fold them into squares, tape them all over yourself, and you’re a walking t-shirt quilt.
