Packing List 

How to Pack for Camp

As a good rule of thumb, please pack enough clothes for about 10 days, including two sets of linens and towels. A weekly laundry service will pick up your camper’s laundry, including bed linens and towels,and return it two days later. 

We provide a laundry bag. Laundry is included in your camper’s tuition. 

Label everything! The lost & found pile grows quickly at camp.

👉 Use the checklist below as a guide👇 Adjustments should be made to accommodate your campers individual interests and needs.
