Preparing for 4-H Camp

•It is a great idea to label your camper's items and only send items you won’t mind getting dirty or lost.

•We have found that large plastic storage totes (10- 20 gallon or under-bed style) and/or plastic drawer sets are great as they are slightly waterproof and stack easily. Duffel bags are also an option that will fit at the bottom or beneath bunks as well. Locks are not advisable as many keys are often lost and codes are forgotten.

•Leave electronics, precious, sentimental, and other irreplaceable items at home.

•Pack a plastic bag (garbage bags work great) and explain that all dirty clothes go there, keeping the clean clothes clean. Mark the bag with masking tape and the camper’s name.

•While plenty is provided during meals, we know that some campers like to bring snacks. Any snacks brought to camp must be kept in a plastic/re-sealable container to ensure no unwanted critters visit the cabin.
