What to pack for Camp Kon O Kwee

The following is a list of items that your student should bring to camp.  Please mark your student’s name on ALL clothing and possessions with a permanent marker.  New clothing is not necessary, nor is it suggested as the majority of the time will be spent outdoors participating in activities that will have the students crawling, sitting, and even lying on the ground. Please be sure that your student has enough clothing to keep them warm and dry.
