What to Bring
  • Dance outfits (tunic and leotard). We have a few tunics to lend. See the Noyes Costume section below.
  • At least one warm sleeping garment.
  • A raincoat or poncho and wet footwear.
  • If you plan to hike, it is recommended that you bring a pair of lightweight long pants and long-sleeved shirt.
  • Non-slip sandals or sneakers.
  • A flashlight and usual toiletries. Don’t forget insect and tick repellent.
  • A bathing suit, a sweater, shorts and a top.
  • Linen and towels (these may be rented from the camp for a small fee. Let us know in advance and your bed will be made and waiting!)
Noyes CostumeFlorence Fleming Noyes established the tradition of wearing a costume of leotard and tunic of varying lengths and colors. The costume reflects the Greek ideals of simplicity and beauty from which Noyes takes its inspiration.

The costume is graceful in movement and flattering to all wearers. It consists of two lengths of material pinned at the shoulders and is easy to make, or you may borrow a tunic when you get to camp. Tunics are worn at all Noyes Rhythm classes and at all meals except picnics.

Noyes Atmosphere Noyes has been defined as the development of a natural sense of rhythm through freedom of movement. The rhythm overflows from movement into all aspects of one’s living. In order to assist in this process, radios, newspapers, televisions and other distractions are left at home. All campers are asked to contribute to the Noyes atmosphere by shedding as many outside concerns as possible.
