Every year, staff and campers receive a new camp shirt with the Chilawee logo on it.
The colours of the shirts differentiate the younger campers from the LITs and the LITs from the staff. These shirts are a memento of the year and on the last day, many use their camp shirts to collect messages and signatures from the friends they’ve made that week.
For staff who started coming to Chilawee as young campers, the camp t-shirts start to take up a lot of room in their closets. And even camp shirts eventually get holes. Luckily, there are many uses for these shirts.
