Overnight Summer Camp Packing Essentials

Important Packing Details: PLEASE READ

We recommend two bags only: a suitcase for clothing and a large duffel bag for a sleeping bag and pillow. Please do not bring loose items.

When removing bedding and sleeping bags from storage, we recommend using one of the following methods to eliminate the possibility of carrying bugs or eggs that may have made a home over the winter months:

  1. Place items in a clothes dryer on high heat for 30 minutes
  2. Vacuum or clean with soap and water or an alcohol-based cleaning product.

Please bring a “stuff” bag or duffel bag for your child’s sleeping bag and pillow. A rolled sleeping bag always comes unraveled when walking through camp. Your child’s pillow also needs to be stored in the duffel bag.

Place toiletries in a plastic bag, toiletry bag, or kit that makes it easy to travel to the showers and reduces the chance of spilling.

Make sure your child’s name is on ALL items.

Pack with your child so they know where everything is and develop a sense of responsibility.

We recommend packing all clothes in a heavy gauge garbage bag, squeezing the air out, twisting it shut, and then placing the bag into luggage. Pack bedding in a separate bag the same way. Include some extra bags for dirty laundry.

Please bring any medications in their original packaging to registration and check them in with a staff member on Opening Day. Do not pack medications in your child’s luggage!

Identification tags on your bags are required and should include the child’s name, home address, parent’s cell number, and email. It is also a good idea to place an identification tag inside your bags.

Make your bags visually distinctive so they are easier to find at pick up or if misplaced.
