Pioneer Clothing Guidelines

The goal of pioneer clothing is to create a safe, and historically appropriate experience while helping youth stay comfortable in heat, sun, and physical activity. Please read carefully and plan ahead.

Young Women

Note: Each young woman should bring two complete pioneer outfits. We recommend that dresses and skirts be mid-calf or above the top of your trek shoes so you avoid the risk of tripping while pushing and pulling handcarts.

A complete outfit may be either of the following:

Outfit Options

Pioneer Dress

  • Long sleeves
  • Hem should be approximately 6 inches from the ground-
  • No denim

Pioneer Skirt & Top

  • Long, full skirt
  • Long-sleeve, button-up shirt
  • No t-shirts

Required Accessories

Bonnet or Hat:

  • Bonnets are allowed but do retain heat.
  • Western-style or wide-brim floppy hat
  • with a chin strap to prevent blowing away
  • Not allowed: beanies, baseball caps, or army-style hats

Bloomers / Loose Shorts:

Help prevent chafing, heat rash, and bug bites

  • 3 pairs of bloomers or lightweight, knee-length loose shorts
  • to be worn under skirts
  • Scrubs work well and help prevent chafing and bug bites
  • No leggings (they trap heat)

Aprons:

  • 2 aprons with pockets

Please Note:

  • Traditional skirts and dresses only
  • No split skirts or gaucho pants

Footwear

Note: Bring two pairs (in case one gets wet or causes blisters) Walking in wet shoes will NOT make it a pleasant experience and will create blisters. COMFORT IS KEY! Expensive shoes are not required

Shoes - Dry Pair

  • Choose sturdy, well-broken-in athletic shoes
  • Cross-trainers, trail runners, or running shoes
  • Good tread is essential
  • Hiking shoes are acceptable but not required
  • Must be broken in 2 months PRIOR to trek.
  • Not allowed: flip-flops or open-toe shoes

Shoes - Wet Pair

  • Bring water shoes or old tennis shoes for river crossings
  • Shoes should fit comfortably while wearing two pairs of socks
  • Shoes that are too tight or too loose can cause blisters
  • Not allowed: flip-flops or open-toe shoes

Socks

To prevent blisters:

  • Wear a thin rayon, nylon, or polypropylene socks next to the skin
  • Wear a wool sock over it
  • Socks that wick away moisture are the most helpful. Socks that are a wool-synthetic blend can also help reduce the potential for blisters.
  • Avoid cotton socks, as they retain moisture and increase friction
  • Must be broken in 2 months PRIOR to trek.
