The Girl Scout Motto is “Be Prepared”. In order to have the best camp experience possible please be sure your camper is prepared every day.
- 2 filled water bottles for drinking, it is great to freeze one!
- A very, very large lunch, campers eat a lot more at camp than at school
- Dress for the weather but wear your camp shirt EVERY DAY! Without a camp shirt we have to send you home.
- Wear closed toe, closed heal shoes that are good for running and jumping. In the morning the grass is often wet. If you wear boots be sure to bring a change of shoes for later in the day.
- Sunscreen, apply before camp and send extra, camp staff can not apply it but will remind kids to do it.
- Bug repellent, camp is not usually “buggy” but it’s nice to have if you need it.
- A hat for sun and sunglasses are very nice to have so pack them if you would like them
- A bandana, or something similar, that can be dipped in water and then worn to keep cool
- An extra pair of socks is nice to have in case yours get wet
- A backpack to store all of your stuff in. Campers won't carry these around all day, they just need it to hold all their stuff.
- A gallon jug of hose water (you'll refill and bring back each day) please read separate post that explains why
We will keep an eye on the weather report for camp week and will let you know if you need to add anything to the packing list.
