packing list for camp

Print Packing List

PLEASE clearly label all of your child’s clothing and gear with the child’s first and last name.

PLEASE note that each child’s group will have a large bin to hold all of the gear that they will not need for that particular day. So, if you send your child to camp prepared for the week, then (s)he can leave unused articles in the bin for the entire week and take them home on Friday.

​What to Bring:​

• A backpack, sized to fit your child, that can hold all personal belongings listed below.
• Clothing for any weather, including at least one warm layer (fleece jacket, etc.). More specifically, if rain is in the forecast, campers should have an outer waterproof layer (rain jacket or poncho that will not soak through in heavy rain), and a warm layer (not cotton because it gets cold when wet), in addition to the clothes that they wear. If the high for the day is 60 degrees or below, please also include a second warm layer, long pants, and a hat. Kids have fun in all weather conditions, as long as they are warm!
• A hat that provides full sun protection
• Closed toe shoes appropriate for hiking, biking, and climbing.
• Closed-toe water shoes (Crocs, Keens, or some footwear that campers can wear in a stream or lake— we prefer closed-toes in order to protect your children’s toes and feet).
• A swimsuit and towel (optional) on days the child goes kayaking or SUPing. It is easiest if your child wears his or her water clothes to camp on those days.  One group will be kayaking on the first day of camp, so please dress appropriately on Monday if this applies to your camper.
• A full, non-breakable, non-leaking, water bottle labeled with the child’s name— if possible, please send your child to camp with 2 water bottles
• Sunscreen (15+ SPF) with child’s name clearly labeled
• Mosquito Repellant (optional) with child’s name clearly labeled
• Rain gear (poncho/jacket)
• Lunch (no refrigeration necessary and creating the minimum amount of trash which the camper will need to carry out on hiking days)
• Extra clothes (optional) in large ziplock, especially for 5-6 year olds
• Sunglasses (optional)
• ​Bandana (optional)
