Team Clothing
You are required to have as a minimum 1 team t-shirt to wear while at SYG. A new design has been created this year however, those with the old design are still welcome to use them.
This year we are also going to offer the option of ordering hoodies and long sleeve t-shirts for those who would like them. Costs for these items are as follows
T-shirts $25
Long sleeve T-shirt $30
Hoodies $40
The clothing order is included in the camp registration form. Click here for rough picture of the clothing design.
Sports
As mentioned above, your sports preferences are registered online. Once your preferences are loaded the leaders may need to make some alterations to complete teams for team events or due to logistical reasons. Where possible we will try to give you your first preference as well as give you an opportunity at both team and individual sports.
Given the size of the event the best advice here is to make your sports selections as quickly as possible. Most of the sports are done on a first in basis.
