What to Bring to Camp

What to Bring Every Day

We strongly recommend campers bring all of their belongings in a backpack. Please don't worry if the backpack is heavy — campers don't have to carry it around all day.

  • Reusable water bottle, labeled with your child's name
  • Sunscreen, labeled with your child's name
    • All campers should come to camp fully sunscreened.
    • All campers should bring labeled sunscreen to camp with them. Campers under the age of 10 are encouraged to bring bottled sunscreen. Campers 11 and older may use spray sunscreen.
    • We recommend campers bring a labeled sunscreen stick for easy face application.
    • Campers will reapply sunscreen at approximately 10:30am, 12:30pm, and 2:30pm daily.
  • Lunch, if not using the Lunch Box service
    • We recommend a reusable lunch box, and it is very important to label it with your camper's name.
    • All lunches must be completely nut-free! See our nut-free policy
    • Lunches are kept with the campers until lunch time, so include ice packs as appropriate.
    • Be sure to include a beverage (i.e. juice box).
    • The lunch box should be packed in your camper's backpack.
  • Bathing suit, labeled with your child's name (if your camp includes swimming)
  • Towel, labeled with your child's name
  • Hat or visor, labeled with your child's name
  • Change of clothes in a Ziploc bag that is labeled with your child's name, for after significant water games or on rainy days

... requirements for Shoes

  • Closed toe shoes (sneakers) are required.
  • Keens or other closed toe sandals are okay (but not for Sports camps).

... requirements for Medicine

  • Prescription medicines, including EpiPens, must be labeled with the original prescription label.
  • For campers arriving by car, all medicines must be given to your divisional Nurse.
  • For campers arriving by bus, all medicines must be given to your Arrivals & Dismissals Captain.

... requirements for a Rainy Day

  • Raincoat, labeled with your child's name

Additional Requirements

Some of our specialty camps have additional needs for a camper to have the best day ever.

... for Adventure Camps

All of our Adventure Camps are filled with messy, and often wet, fun! We recommend campers bring a spare set of clothes so they have the option to change after an especially wet activity. Please ensure bag and all extra clothing is labeled with your child's name.

... for Dance Battles Camp

  • Closed-toed shoes
  • (Recommended) Leotard & athletic dance shorts or pants
  • (Recommended) Hair pulled back into either a ponytail or bun
