FAQs
What should I wear?
Wear as much white as possible! White T-shirts, white shorts, white pants, and white sweatpants are all good options! We’ve even had students wear white painter's suits from Home Depot!
Can I Get Creative?
YES!! Get creative with what you wear!
Get together and make some tutus out of white tulle. Put white ribbons or bandanas in your hair. Or get semi-formal with a nice white button-down shirt and a black tie, maybe with some sharp sunglasses. White headbands? Why not! Have fun with what you wear!
Should I wear eye protection?
Optional: You might want to wear swimming goggles or sunglasses to help protect your eyes from the colored powder.
How strict is the “white clothing” dress code?
Not strict at all! It’s just an idea to keep things fun and playful. :)
How is the color administered?
Leaders will throw colored powder at students as they complete relay challenges. When students throw powder, we’ll ask them to avoid the face and eyes. If your student doesn’t want to get colorized, this event isn’t right for them.
Is the colored powder safe?
Here’s what the makers of our colored powder say about their product:
Washes out of skin, hair & most fabrics: Color Blaze bulk color powder is formulated for easy post-event cleanup. It rinses from skin and hair with standard soap and water, washes out of most fabrics in one laundry cycle, and clears from grass and concrete with a garden hose or leaf blower.
Non-toxic cornstarch formula: Color Blaze color powder is made from cornstarch, baking soda, and FD&C-approved colorants. It contains no fragrances, gluten, or heavy metals and is formulated for outdoor events where participants range from children to adults.
How does the color affect the inside of cars?
There will probably be some color in your car. Please bring towels or sheets to cover the inside of your car for the ride home.
Should I bring a friend?
YES!! Bring several, in fact. This is a great event to invite friends to!
