Adventure Packing List

Be prepared, every day! Our staff maintains equipment and facilities, but here's the gear you'll need to bring with you. All campers should wear durable, weather-appropriate clothing and sneakers since we will be active and outside all day long. Campers engage in camp activities in all types of weather; high temps and even rain.  Please be sure to have your camper dressed appropriately and with extra clothes!
