What to Pack?
Please use this guide to help you prepare for your stay at camp.
Your child will be engaging in a lot of activities while at camp, warranting plenty of clothes in itself. However, the average temperature can range from 50 degrees at night up to 90 or 100 degrees during the day. With swimming, recreation period, hiking and such, kids can go through clean clothes quickly, as you know. Please limit your child to two pieces of luggage. The following is a list of items and recommended clothing (included in the count is what your child will wear to camp):
- 6 Pairs of Underwear
- 5 Pairs of Socks
- 3 Pairs of Pants
- 3 Pairs of Shorts
- 6 T-Shirts
- 1 Light Jacket
- 1 Sweatshirt or Sweater
- 2 Swimming Suits
- 1 Pair of Closed Toe Shoes
- 1 Pair of Sandals
- 2 Pairs of Pajamas
- 2 Towels
Toiletries (in a small bag):
- Unscented soap
- Toothbrush and toothpaste
- Comb or brush
- Shampoo
- Unscented deodorant
- Sunscreen
- Unscented (unflavored) Chap Stick
- Water bottle
- Flashlight
- WARM SLEEPING BAG
All packed in a soft “duffel” bag that your child can easily carry and handle. Be sure your child brings a warm sleeping bag. We have found that two small bags are much easier to handle for campers than if all the belongings are packed together in one big bag.
Please don’t send your child’s belongings packed in a trash bag, large trunk or hard suitcase. These are difficult to pack in the luggage compartments and difficult for your camper to carry. We recommend that the camper’s name is clearly marked on any item you want returned if lost, particularly on the outside of their luggage.
