WHAT TO BRING TO CAMP

PACKING LIST

SUGGESTIONS: When preparing for camp, please pack the camper’s possessions in duffel bags. Don't send new clothes, shoes, etc. We have so much fun getting “dirty.” Mark all items with the camper’s name to avoid loss. Send enough clothing to last an entire week. Laundry facilities are not available for camper’s use. Pack each day’s clothing in a separate zip lock bag plus one extra set.
