Helpful Hints
|
- Label everything clearly and permanently - clothing, shoes, towels, sports equipment, sleeping bags, cameras, flashlights, toothbrush etc.
- Pack belongings in duffel bags (2 maximum) and label with baggage tags (which will be sent to you). No suitcases or trunks are allowed. Campers may bring a small carry on for the bus ride.
Campers must
restrict their belongings to only two duffel
bags maximum and one carry on. Campers
with excessive amounts of clothing will be
asked to remove portions of their belongings
to be placed in storage or taken home.
- Do not send expensive clothing or equipment - campers play in all kinds of weather and although all reasonable precautions are taken, the camp is not responsible for loss, damage or theft of any belongings in transit or at camp.
- The following list is only a suggestion of what to bring. We encourage parents to use what they have on hand and limit any new purchases. Laundry is sent out once a week, therefore pack accordingly.
