Please review our clothing rules to make sure your clothing is appropriate before you arrive. This will save you time at check-in and allow you to start your visit quicker.
If we think your clothing is disruptive or inappropriate, we will not let you inside MacLaren. We are trying to create a positive, family-friendly environment for youth, families, and other visitors.
If you wear these items, you will not be allowed inside:
- Low-cut shirts or shirts that reveal your lower back or undergarments
- Short skirts
- Short shorts
- Sleeveless shirts, spaghetti strap shirts, and tank tops
- Clothing that is torn in inappropriate places
- Bras with an underwire or metal parts (these may set off the metal detector)
- Watches
- Fanny packs, money belts, or belts with compartments
- Hats, beanies, or other headwear (if you need a religious head covering, talk with your youth’s case coordinator before coming to visit)
- Professional or college sports team logos (sometimes these can be gang-related)
- Messages that promote drugs, tobacco, alcohol, violence, pornography, nudity, gangs, or prejudice, or are demeaning to others
