Daily Camp Gear

What to Bring to Camp Daily-

Please be sure to pack your camper as "light" as possible. Only packing the necessary items for camp is the best practice. This allows girls to have a comfortable experience at camp.

• GRUBBY/PLAY CLOTHES—So we don't worry about how messy you get!!

  1. 1. 1. • T-Shirt/Camp Shirt *preferred (no tank tops or crop tops)

           • Shorts or pants 

           • Longer socks (at least ankle length or longer)

           • Shoes (You must wear closed-toe, closed-heel, and sturdy shoes, preferably tied or Velcro. No rubber shoes, sandals, Crocs, slip-ons, or the like.)

           • Hair Ties 

• EXTRA SET OF CLOTHES (OPTIONAL)- Pack extra clothes, underwear, socks, and shoes if your camper needs them. These can come out on day one and stay in headquarters if needed. Please label the bag with the camper's name.

• BACKPACK WITH PADDED SHOULDERS— Use this to carry all personal items. Avoid drawstring bags, as they can dig into the shoulders.

• BUG SPRAY-  Please apply before arriving at the bus pick-up.  Bring it along for reapplication later.

• SUNSCREEN- Please apply at home and bring extra for reapplication later.  

• HAT OR BANDANA (OPTIONAL)- To shield your face and protect your hair

• WATER BOTTLE- One that is easy to carry or fits in their backpack. Avoid extra-large bottles. LABEL WITH NAME, PLEASE. NO STANLEY or CUP WITH EXTERNAL NON-FOLDABLE STRAWS!

• SWAPS (OPTIONAL)- Approximately 50-75 is usually a good number. 

• RAIN PONCHO (OPTIONAL)- Keep an eye on the weather.  If it looks like we may get rain, please send a poncho. The best compact option are the cheap $1 plastic ones from places like Wal-Mart. NO UMBRELLAS.  

• SWIMSUIT- Bring this on your scheduled swim day. One-piece or rash guard style is preferred. NO string bikinis or the like.

• TOWEL- Bring on your scheduled swim day to dry off after pool time. 

• PLASTIC BAG FOR WET SUIT AND TOWEL- This can be a large zip-lock bag, plastic shopping bag, or wet bag.

• MESS KIT- This will be used on their cookout day as they will be cooking their own lunch this day.

• SACK LUNCH- A lunch that doesn't require refrigeration. It's a good idea to avoid things that melt as well.

• EXTRA SNACKS- This is recommended if your camper gets extra hungry throughout the day or after camp. Avoid peanuts, tree nuts, sugary snacks, and snacks that melt. 

• FEMININE PRODUCTS- Make sure your camper has these items if needed. We will also have available items if needed.

• MEDICATION- If medication needs to be taken at camp, send it in a zip-lock bag properly labeled and in the proper container. It will be held in the headquarters with Health & Safety.

A SMILE AND A SENSE OF ADVENTURE!!  Day camp is the most fun when you allow yourself to try new things!
