| Comfortable shoes. Two or more pairs. They will get very dirty. Recommend one good pair for night events, others for activities. Old shoes are great! Shoes get wet while canoeing. Consider buying a cheap pair of webbed boating shoes (e.g. Wal-Mart). | Storage for clothes. Bunks have a 12 inch clearance from the floor. Cardboard boxes, tubs, or milk crates all work fine. They can be put under or beside them. |
| Plenty of proper clothing. Shorts must come to the knee ! No sleeveless shirts! Campers may change clothes 1-2 times daily, especially when it's hot. Counselors usually have a clothesline to hang out clothes to dry. If you do not wear acceptable clothing, you will be sent home. Wear old clothes to camp ! | Cotton sheets, pillow, bed covers and/or a sleeping bag. The bunks all have plastic covers, so bring a sheet to cover them, even if you are bringing a sleeping bag. It occasionally gets down near 50 degrees at night - bring a blanket along! |
| Personal fan. The small clip-on fans are popular. Some also bring window box fans | Extra pillow case or netting bag to hold dirty clothes. We don't recommend plastic - clothes acquire strong odors in them! |
| Small, inexpensive bucket to carry personal items (toothbrush, soap, etc) to shower. | Flip flops or shower shoes. Wear them to take a shower because the shower floors can get grungy. |
| Personal medications, inhalers, etc. We cannot prescribe medicine while at camp-you must bring it. | Plenty of towels. Campers shower 1-2 times a day. Old towels are best for camp ! |
| Extension cords. A 9-12 foot cord is great for fans and such in the cabins. | Flashlight. We use them at night, and once in a while if the power goes out at camp ! |
| Some sun screen and a hat. We are outdoors all afternoon each day. | It is not necessary to bring any money to camp. Snacks will be provided at no extra charge. |
Parents: Camp is a place where we are active all day. Dirt and mud are everywhere. Do not send your child to camp with their new school clothes. Camp is a perfect place to send the old T-shirts, socks, and shoes.
