Packing for camp can be a daunting task! We’ve developed a list of ‘What to Bring’ and ‘What Not to Bring’ to camp so your task will be easier. Please follow our recommendations for clothing items. As you prepare, please remember to:
- Mark camper’s name on everything: IRON-ON labels are best for clothes; a LAUNDRY MARKER or INDELIBLE ink (printed on tape) is best for sports equipment, etc;
- Do not pack delicate clothing articles that require special washing instructions;
- Pack all items in duffel bag(s); no trunks or suitcases
- We provide a laundry bag
- Pay careful attention to the list of items not allowed (our ‘What Not to Bring’ list).
