Pioneer Clothing
Dressing in pioneer clothing can have a tremendous impact on the spirit of the trek. Everyone attending trek will be required to dress in period clothing. Many items can be found at local thrift stores. You might raid mom and dad's closet to see what you can find in there. Others can be made from patterns either purchased or found on the internet. This is a great opportunity for the Young Women to fulfill a Personal Progress 10-hour project requirement. We'll be wearing our trek clothing for 4 days, so you may want to have two sets of pioneer clothing (though the extra set will need to fit within your 17-pound weight restriction for all personal items).
Take a look at sub-pages specific to Young Women Clothing and Young Men Clothing. There are many patterns and links for you there as well. Other items can be found in the Packing List. Your experience will be enhanced by following the guidelines for clothing.
