What Should My Child Bring To Camp?

camp-rotary-2_0094

Generally an old and strong suitcase or trunk is best for packing. Storage space (a cubby) is available for each camper in a cabin, however, this is an open closet, unable to be secured. Many campers secure their valuables in their locked trunk or in the office. Please do not leave anything of value in your cubby, as we cannot be responsible for missing items. We suggest that you bring the following items for a one week stay:

BEDDING

Your child will be selecting one twin-size mattress on a bunk bed.  Please make sure that you pack a pillow and choose between either sheets with blankets or a sleeping bag for your child.  If your child has any issues with bed-wetting, please opt for the sheets and blankets and please provide a spare set of sheets.

CLOTHING

Please note that if your child would like to participate in BMX racing or the ropes/challenge program, they should be sure to pack the appropriate clothing: long pants, long sleeve shirts, boots or shoes and a bandana to wear under helmets.

  • 4-6 pairs of shorts
  • 7-8 t-shirts or jerseys
  • 2 bathing suits
  • 1 medium weight jacket
  • 2 pair of sneakers
  • 1 pair of sandals or aqua shoes
  • 1 week supply of underwear (pack extra!)
  • 1 raincoat or poncho with hood
  • cap or hat
  • 1 pair of dress pants (or dress) with semi-formal shirt for dance
  • 1-2 pair of jeans or long pants
  • 10-12 pair of socks
  • 2-3 sweatshirts or sweaters
  • several coat hangers
  • 3 large towels
  • 1 pair of pajamas
  • 2 hand towels
  • Costume for theme day

 

OTHER ITEMS

  • soap and dish

  • comb and/or brush
  • flashlight and batteries
  • camera/film/flash
  • laundry bag

Please clearly mark all of your child’s clothing/property with his/her name… this will greatly help us to identify unclaimed items at lost-n-found!
