There are a few items essential to the camp experience.

Just like any old summer camp, lunch is vital. A good lunch will help keep your camper going strong, especially through the hotter parts of the day. Proteins, fruits, or anything your camper enjoys eating is a good lunch to pack. Gatorade or another sports drink always hits the spot!

Speaking of hot days, we always go swimming twice a day. To stay prepared for the pool, make sure your camper has a towel and spray-on sunscreen (please, no rub-on sunscreen). While these two items aren’t a necessity, if goggles or earplugs are something your camper wants or needs, go ahead and throw those in there as well.

One incredibly useful piece of advice – make sure EVERYTHING in your campers bag is labeled with their name on it, including the bag itself!

Here’s our shortlist for the do’s and don’ts:

In the bag:

• A good lunch
• A towel
• Spray-on sunscreen
• Swim-gear
• A refillable water bottle (we also provide one for the week)
• Close-toed shoes (if your camper is not already wearing them)

Leave it at home:

• Electronics – including cell phones
• Jewelry
• Toys
• Any of value (items tend to go missing often)
• Any change of clothes

A note on bathing suits: We do not have a suitable area to change in and out of swim wear into other clothes. Here at Camp, we are accustom to wearing our swimwear all day, with a shirt and/or shorts to wear while not in the pool. Please plan on something similar. Please refer to the Camper Code of Conduct for more information regarding swim wear.
