Camp Checklist

Whether it’s the first time you’re coming to camp or you just don’t want to forget anything, here’s a list of things you may want to bring.

  • Your Bible and a Notebook
    • During the week we will engage in several bible studies.
    • You will want to follow along in your own bible and take notes about what is said so that you can reference them later.
  • 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!  
    • During Sr Week, shoes get wet while canoeing. Consider buying a cheap pair of webbed boating shoes (e.g. Wal-Mart).
  • Plenty of Towels
    • Campers shower 1-2 times a day.
    • Old towels are best for camp!
  • Plenty of Proper Clothing (Please read the Dress Code for camp)
    • 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!
  • 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.
  • Laundy Bag
    • Extra pillow case or netting bag to hold dirty clothes.
    • We don’t recommend plastic – clothes acquire strong odors in them!
  • Shower Tote
    • 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
    • We cannot prescribe medicine while at camp-you must bring it.
  • Electrical 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!
  • Sun screen or a hat
    • We are outdoors all afternoon each day.
  • Talent
    • If you want to participate in the Talent Show, bring music, props, or whatever you need for your act.
    • We screen music before the show.
  • Softball Glove
    • We play softball a couple of times. Write your name on it!
