Packing List
Click here to download this list!
Medolark is an informal environment. The less clothing packed, usually the better! One duffel and a suitcase or two duffels is the maximum amount of luggage needed at camp. Trunks are highly discouraged as we have minimal storage for them at camp. Trunks are too large to fit into our charter buses or to check onto flights. Each camper has a 3-4 drawer dresser or shelving unit into which to unpack.
The following list is a basic guide. Please use common sense in collecting things to include in the packing. Please label all items with the camper’s name for the sake of lost and found.
Camp laundry is done every 7-8 days, so pack for that length of time. Please pre-wash all new colored clothing. The laundry is returned to camp the very next day after it is sent out for washing. All laundry is done in cold water; please leave delicates at home.
