Challenge Course Clothing
Guidelines
After operating our Challenge Course for several years, we have determined that these guidelines
will enable our participants and facilitators to have a safe, fun, and non-embarrassing experience.
Our goal is for participants to grow, both as a team, and individually - without being distracted or
encumbered by clothing.
NOT ACCEPTABLE OR PRACTICAL:
RECOMMENDED:
Tennis shoes or hiking shoes with good, thick
soles
Crew-neck shirts with sleeves
Flip flops or shoes with open heel; Shoes with slick
soles are very dangerous.
Halter tops, sleeveless shirts, spaghetti straps, tank
tops, or short, bare-midriff shirts
Shirts long enough to be tucked in are best.
To prevent abrasions and injuries, long pants or
jeans are better than shorts.
Pants or shorts that have writing across the rear, shorts
that are too short; Shorts are not recommended for
challenge course activities. If worn, they must be no
shorter than mid-thigh.
Pants that are moderately loose-fitting in the legs; Low-cut pants or shorts that reveal underwear or baremidriff
if jeans are tight, stretch denim offers better
maneuverability.
Clothing that is excessively baggy can get caught in
pulleys, ropes, and rocks on the climbing wall
Long hair should be braided or in a low ponytail.
Jewelry should be removed and kept in a safe
place. Religious necklaces can be tucked inside
shirt.
Sleepwear of any type
Artwork or text on clothing that promotes human
destruction or disrespect - alcohol, drugs, music
groups, profanity, etc.
GROUP LEADERS/PARENTS, PLEASE SHARE THIS INFORMATION WITH YOUR GROUP
BEFORE COMING TO DRY CREEK.
Remind your group that they may be sitting or lying on the ground. On the High Ropes elements, seatharnessed participants will be climbing above belayers and spectators, who will be looking upward.
Therefore, those dressed immodestly will be discreetly asked, by a camp leader of the same gender, to
change clothing. Group leaders will be contacted first, whenever possible.
