Clothing List for Campers
Campers are very active while at camp so we suggest that you not send new clothing. Clothing should be practical and clean.
In order to keep track of your camper’s clothing, we ask that you put your camper’s name on each item of clothing and equipment. Clothing not claimed will be kept at camp for two weeks and after each summer camp session ends, it will be donated to local charitable organizations.
Do Not Bring ...
Please do not bring any of the following: CD, radio or tape players, pocket knives, BB guns, pagers, cell phones, matches or fireworks. Gum, candy, pop or food may attract critters – please leave these items at home as well.
The following is a suggested list of clothing for the camp experience. You may add to it or subtract from it as you wish, but please make sure your camper is properly equipped so that he/she may enjoy their stay. Baggage should be limited to one suitcase and a bedroll. You might use this list as an inventory and tape it on the inside of the suitcase to aid your camper when checking out.
