KAMPER/KALEO CLOTHING Please have all your kampers’ parents to write the child’s first and last name on every article of clothing, bedding, and towels brought to kamp. This will assist our staff in being able to return those items if they become lost or misplaced. Also, please review the Modesty Policy and KAA Best Dress Code listed below. Be aware that these guidelines are for both Kamper and Kaleo and everyone will be expected to follow them. Modesty Policy/Dress Code -For Kampers and Kaleos 1.

ITEMS TO BRING Included at the end of this packet is the Items to Bring list. Please be sure that the parents and Kaleos receive and review the list. Valuable items, money and cell phones will no longer be stored in Kamp offices. Kaleos will need to bring a lock box to collect and secure these items throughout the week for safe keeping.

Extra money may be brought for the Kaleo outing as well as to purchase KAA merchandise d. Any weapons, alcohol, drugs or tobacco products will be confiscated and not returned. The person found to be in possession of these items will be dismissed from Kamp! SPECIAL NOTE: Certain items should not be brought to Kamp and may be confiscated and discarded (food items) or returned to the Kaleo upon discovery. Those items include but are not limited to the following: Open food/drink/gum; Pornographic materials; Gang related items such as bandanas; Any materials associated with demonic/satanic/occultist/ new age or witchcraft content; Electronic devices of any type including cell phones, ipods/ipads/tablets etc.; Music or books with parental advisory warnings KALEOS ARE RESPONSIBLE TO KEEP THESE ITEMS SAFELY LOCKED IN A SELF PROVIDED LOCK BOX OR OTHER STORAGE AREA THROUGHOUT THE DURATION OF KAMP. KIDS ACROSS AMERICA WILL NOT PROVIDE A LOCKABLE STORAGE UNIT AND IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOST, DAMAGED OR STOLEN ITEM AND WILL NOT REPLACE THE COST OF SUCH ITEMS WHICH ARE BROUGHT TO OUR KAMP. In addition, Kaleos will no longer be given access to the internet through Kamp’s broadband. We found that allowing this was counterproductive to the idea of connecting with Christ more fully during Kamp and we want to bring back the idea of “unplugging from the world” and connecting with Christ. .

    Of the Female Fashion Is a Fickle Thing, Constantly Changing: Hemlines Rise and Fall, Fabrics Gain and Lose Favor, Colors and Patterns Cycle Through Popularity

    HISTORY swimsuitof the female Fashion is a fickle thing, constantly changing: hemlines rise and fall, fabrics gain and lose favor, colors and patterns cycle through popularity. Each era has its own definitive style which encompasses not only the aesthetic, but is also reflective of the cultural norms, moral attitudes, and even available technologies of the time. The corsets and crinolines of Victorian times are a far cry from the miniskirts and platform shoes of the 1960s. Most don’t think of the swimsuit as a culturally significant fashion item, but it has a long and colorful history going back thousands of years with an evolution that might surprise you. And though we can’t be certain, one thing (probably) hasn’t changed at all—the agony and ecstasy of finding the perfect swimsuit. In the beginning… Public bathing was very popular in ancient Greece and Rome. Scholars believe that men and women of the upper class wore swimsuits in the bath houses. The earliest known image of women wearing swimsuits is from the early 4th century. “The Bikini Girls” mosaic decorated the floor of a Roman bath at the Villa Roma de Casale near Piazza Armer- ina, Sicily. The women are shown exercising and competing in various athletic events clad in what looks much like a modern bikini. The only exercise that didn’t require a swim- suit at the time was swimming. Romans chose to do that in the nude. modesty over fashion It wasn’t until the mid-1800s that swimming in the ocean returned as a popular leisure activity.

    M&S: Swimwear

    M&S: Swimwear Style for the sun since the 1930s 1920s & 1930s In 1928 we sold bathing suits and bathing caps. Customers shopping for their holidays at M&S in the 1930s would have seen our advertising leaflet for woollen swimsuits. The swimsuits were colour-fast to both sea and sun so were wearable, durable and fashionable. The first swimsuits were offered in a variety of styles to suit the wearer’s modesty: from ‘a regulation one piece... which essentially spells swimming’ to ‘a combined brassiere and shorts to give the utmost comfort and freedom’. Swimwear Marketing Leaflet, 1930s Ref: HO/11/1/5/27 1939 Swimwear available in 1939 included expanding swimsuits, and swimsuits with ripple stitch detail. In the late 1930s we sold knitting patterns for clothing, including swimsuits. Knitting Pattern, late 1930s 1950s After the Second World War, Chairman Simon Marks knew the M&S customer was demanding ‘better materials, better design, better finish…’ Scientific developments made during the war were used to fulfil customers’ needs. New fabrics such as rayon and nylon were widely used to provide people with easy-wear, easy-care garments, and were perfect for swimwear. Shape-enhancing features, such as padded busts were introduced and strapless styles became popular. For men, swimming trunks with elasticated waists were big sellers in the 1950s. Blue Cotton Swimsuit, 1950s Ref: T52/3 1962 In the 1960s beachwear became more popular with customers. The M&S stand at the 1962 Ideal Home Show sold as much swimwear in one day as an average store would sell in a week! The stand was St Michael News, Spring 1962 a joint venture between M&S and British Nylon Spinners to promote Bri-Nylon.

  • Swimsuit Policy URJ Greene Family Camp 2016

    Swimsuit Policy URJ Greene Family Camp 2016

    Swimsuit Policy URJ Greene Family Camp 2016 At GFC, we believe in teaching our staff and campers the value behind creating a community that allows for freedom to self-express and self-identify. We also believe these expressions contribute to our Jewish community at camp. As a community, we represent Greene Family Camp, the URJ, the Jewish people, and ourselves as individuals. We have a critical role as exemplars of Jewish values for our campers. One such value, particularly in today's society, is tzniut, or modesty in dress. It is important to always keep this in mind when we get dressed every day at camp—for the day, for evening programs, for Shabbat, and for the pool. This year, we want to dive right in to a new way of representing ourselves. Certain types of clothing and swimwear that have been worn at camp in the past—by both staff members and campers, male and female—are becoming too revealing. Because of this, we want to bring back a sense of tzniut in our clothing and swimwear. Being more modest does not necessarily mean that we can’t still be stylish or fashion-forward. There is a way to still wear a stylish swimsuit while also being fully comfortable in the water and fully covered at all times. Here are a few guidelines for the type of swimsuits that you should pack for camp this summer: Swimsuits for Male Campers/Staff • Your swimsuit should fully cover every intimate body part. • The shortest length that trunks or board shorts should be is mid-thigh length.

    The Client Waiver

    The Client Waiver Waiver / Agreement Welcome to YOUR SALON NAME HERE. Our objective is to help you achieve a beautiful tan and your health and safety is our main concern. HVLP UV Free Spray-on Tanning • Your spray on tan color will not provide you with protection from tanning beds or the sun. A broad-spectrum sunscreen is recommended for protection against overexposure to UVA/UVB rays. • The tanning solution contains color that may transfer to clothing, furniture or car seats. The tanning solution is water-based so washing will always remove the color, with the exception of silk fabrics. We suggest bringing a towel to cover your car seat and tanning in an old bathing suit or undergarment if you choose to wear one. YOUR SALON NAME HERE is not responsible for potential stains to clothing or upholstery. • If you have sensitive skin or allergies to sunless tanning products containing DHA, or if you are unsure whether you may be allergic to DHA, we suggest consulting your physician prior to tanning. Allergic reactions such as minor skin rash are extremely rare and can usually be alleviated by a simple shower. If you have never used a sunless tanning product, we suggest a patch test 24 hours before the full body application. • During the tanning process your tanning professional may have to touch your body to properly position you for application and to remove excess product. You will be advised of any contact before it occurs. • It is important to follow written and verbal instructions provided by your tanning technician.

  • STAN STATE SWIM ATTIRE Code

    STAN STATE SWIM ATTIRE Code

    STAN STATE SWIM ATTIRE Code PROPER BATHING ATTIRE MUST BE WORN IN THE POOL. IT MUST BE: 1. Designed for swimming 2. Made of Lycra, spandex, nylon, or neoprene 3. Lined Pool patrons often ask, "Why do I have to wear proper swimwear?" HERE ARE JUST A FEW REASONS AS TO WHY IT IS IMPORTANT TO ONLY WEAR POOL ATTIRE IN THE POOL. 1. Street clothes (especially cotton) can transport airborne and ultimately water borne contaminants into the pool. 2. Swimwear worn for exercising prior to using the pool is unsanitary. Soiled clothing can create an unhealthy swimming environment. 3. Lycra and Nylon are the best non-absorbent material for swimming and are the best fabrics for proper swim attire. Other absorbent materials (such as cotton) can break down in the water and cause fibers to clog filters. Any “colored” material (unless specifically made for swimming) can bleed into the pool, affecting water chemistry and balance. Cotton and similar materials can absorb the chemicals in the water, causing the water to become less effective at maintaining the proper chemical balance or may cloud the water.

Compression and its influence on physiology 4. Compression for medical uses 5. Evaluation of compression for sportswear 5.1 Effects of using compression garments 6. Application of compression sportswear 6.1Cycling 6.2 Skiing 6.3 Rugby 7 Market trends in compression sportswear 8 Contextual factors affecting compression garment performance 1. Garment sizing 2. Body shape 3. Sizing and designing with stretch fabrics 4. Fabric panels 9 Summary and conclusions 10 References 1.0 INTRODUCTION Sport and exercise involves physical movement of the body (torso, upper and lower limbs) and, in some cases, amateurs and professionals alike endure soft tissue injury. At the elite level, improved individual performance during a tournament or a game is vital. Many athletes consider that compression of muscles to support, enhance muscle alignment and improve the efficiency of muscle movements is essential. They also adopt the adage of strapping the injured part to assist recovery from injury. In recent years, there has been an increase in usage and demand for compression garments for a 1 number of sportswear applications and recreational activities due to their ability to offer functional support to the wearer. The main aim of this chapter is to present research relating to compression garments and highlight the recent developments relating to specific sports such as cycling, skiing and rugby. The benefits of compression garments were documented in various settings (sports, clinical and non-clinical), although convincing evidence remains elusive. The reported benefits of using compression garments were mainly in enhancing blood circulation, reducing the recurrence of injury, aiding recovery, providing muscle support and reducing muscle soreness.

    SWEET LITTLE SWIMSUIT Swimsuits are really pretty easy once you get the hang of it, and baby swimsuits are the perfect place to start! Make this adorable swimsuit for the little darling in your life, while getting great practice with your serger and stretchy fabric! Created by: Stephanie Struckmann, Baby Lock Video Coordinator Supplies: • Baby Lock® serger • Baby Lock® sewing machine (with a stretch needle inserted) • 4 spools of soft Madeira® AeroFlock thread to complement fabric • One spool of Madeira® Aerofil Polyester sewing thread • ½ yard of swimwear fabric • One package of ¼” elastic (suitable for swimwear) Baby Lock Project: Sweet Little Swimsuit Page 1 of 5 • Optional: 1.5” to 2” eyelet lace (12” if already ruffled, 25” if not ruffled) • Find the free pattern tutorial by clicking here Instructions: 1. You must create your pattern from a baby bodysuit that fits your baby! 2. Cut out one front and one back piece on the fold. Then, cut two or three 2” strips for the ruffles on the bum (cut the length of these 2” strips at double the total width of your back piece so it can gather up nicely). Finally, for the halter strap, cut a 2” strip that is about 30” long or longer (you can always cut it shorter). 3. Thread your serger for a four-thread overlock stitch with Madeira AeroFlock thread. A needle threader is very helpful with this soft, plush thread! Set your stitch length to 2.5mm and your width to the widest setting. 4.
