Frequently asked Questions

Can my lad/lass be in a group with _________(Friend, Sibling, Relative,
Former Crewmate, ect.)?

We try to make all of our crew as happy as possible and will try to accommodate them as
much as possible on a case by case basis. We feel that common sense should be taken into
account when moving pirates. Please specify what campers you wish to have crewed
togetheron your application. We make preliminary groups based on grade level, if your
pirates are in the same grade, they'll probably end up in the same group. For all other
moves, we generally finalize all groups in the first hour of camp on Monday. When
checking in your pirate the first day, simply inform his/her Captain and we'll do the
rest. If for any reason your pirate wants to change groups later in the week, please
contact Catherine D'Arcey at Cdarcey(at)stanford.edu and we'll set everything straight.

My pirate wants to dress up in his finest threads for camp, are costumes okay?

OF COURSE! Dressing up as pirates is what we do best. Please keep a few things in mind:
We are very active during the day, and pirates need to wear clothes that that they can
wear comfortably through out a busy day. Wear comfortable close toed athletic shoes.
Although a pair of authentic patent leather boots may look AWESOME, your pirates feet 
wont feel awesome. Please dress in clothes that you won't mind getting dirty. Personal
Hygiene isn't our pirates strong suit. Please wear/bring things that are safe. Please
no swords, knives, or guns. Common sense is a good rule of thumb. Please don't bring 
anything that you aren't willing to lose. In a sea of hooks, eyepatches, bandannas and 
earrings; it's very possible that it might be mistakenly taken by another pirate. 
We are pirates after all.

Should My pirate bring lunch?

YES! We captains eat moldy hardtack, seawater, limes, and salted (mostly un-rotten)
pork. Unless you want to join us, pirates should bring a lunch.
