Gear & Packing List
Packing List
This is a messy camp, so please back things that can get dirty. Also, it will be April, so layers and extras would be great options. Please make sure to label all items with Campers first and last name!
We also suggest to have your Camper do their own packing. Allowing your Camper to help and make choices gives them the ability to contribute to the process and take ownership but they also then know what has been packed and where it is located which helps reduce any chaos when things are trying to be located. We suggest that your camper gathers the items and before anything is put in their bag that you review it with them and help guide them if they need to make different choices, so they have the appropriate items.
If you need help sourcing any of this gear, please let us know! There is a spot on the registration form to indicate needs.
