We ask that parents send their kids to camp with as little items as possible. We will have children store items in individual areas, but they will not be very big.
What to Bring
Any food sent to camp will need to be sent ready to eat in a labeled container.
A reusable water bottle: Label this with your child's first and last name to prevent loss or mix-ups. Staying hydrated is vital during a camp day.
Children should have sunscreen applied prior to arriving at camp (we will have spray sunscreen that children can rub in themselves, but a strong first coat will be a huge help).
Swimsuit and towel: For water activities like water play, Slip n Slide, or Foam Parties, ensure your child has a swimsuit and towel, and optionally, water shoes or goggles. Watch for camp communication about specific days requiring these items.
Clothing layers: Bring appropriate clothing layers like a jacket or extra t-shirt to adjust for changing weather during the day.
Costume items on dress-up days.
Closed-toed shoes: These are essential for participating in sports or recreational activities safely.
For any item you are sending to camp, please be sure your child(ren)’s name is clearly added to the tag or other obvious location so that we can help in returning items if they are lost.
What Not to Bring
Cell phones & Smart watches: We understand that in this technological age some parents would prefer to be able to get in touch with their child at a moment’s notice. If parents would like their child to keep a cell phone on their person, we simply ask that campers keep the phone in a pocket or bag, use it for that purpose only, and do not share it in anyway with other campers. If cell phones begin to make a regular appearance around camp, we will talk to the family about how to meet everyone’s needs. Smart watches must be in school or airplane mode while at camp.
Tablets, games, and other tech items.
Money
Animals
Valuables: Jewelry, money, or any items of sentimental value
Toys and games: Card games (e.g., Pokemon), novelty items, or personal project materials
Dangerous/restricted items: Weapons, illicit substances, or anything considered contraband
