Suggested concert attire: casual white shirts, pants, slacks, shorts, blouses, skirts/simple dresses. White shoes not necessary; photos on our website can be used for reference. Social Events: A nice outfit (shirt & slacks; dress or skirt & blouse) for Saturday night faculty concerts (and for the folk dancing that comes afterwards) Daily Clothing: At all other times, we dress very casually.

Nights and mornings are chilly be prepared!! o For Hot Weather: shorts, casual slacks or pants, shirts, blouses, T-shirts, cool sleepwear. o Shoes: Sneakers, sandals, etc. but most Kinhavenites prefer bare feet!

It is bundled by cabin groups. - Using indelible ink, label every item (entire last name, plus first initial). - Bring clothespins for hanging wet towels, etc., on lines near each cabin.
