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 first and last name
  • Sunscreen, labeled with your child's first and last name
    • All campers should come to camp fully sunscreened if they do not have swim as their first activity.
    • Campers are encouraged to bring either spray or roll-on body sunscreen and a sunscreen face stick. A roll-on sunscreen families have reported liking is called Solar Buddies.
    • Campers will reapply sunscreen at approximately 10:30am, 12:30pm, and 2:30pm daily.
  • Closed toe shoes
    • Keens, Crocs, or other closed toe sandals are allowed, except in Sports camps.
  • Lunch, if not registered for Lunch Box
    • All lunches must be peanut and tree nut-free! Learn more
    • We recommend a reusable lunch box, and it is very important to label it with your camper's first and last name.
    • Lunches are kept with the campers until lunch time, so include ice packs as appropriate.
    • The lunch box should be packed in your camper's backpack.
  • Bathing suit, labeled with your child's first and last name (if your camp includes swimming)
    • If your camper's first activity is swimming, it is recommended that they arrive to camp with their swimsuit on under their normal clothes.
  • Towel, labeled with your child's first and last name
  • Hat or visor, labeled with your child's first and last name
  • Change of clothes in a Ziploc bag that is labeled with your child's first and last name, for after significant water games or on rainy days

... 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. EpiPens will be returned on the last day of camp.
  • For campers arriving by bus, all medicines must be given to your Bus Captain. EpiPens will be returned at the end of every camp day and collected again on the morning of each camp day.

... requirements for a Rainy Day

  • Raincoat, labeled with your child's first and last name
  • Shoes that can get wet
  • (Recommended) Baseball hat, as the bill keeps rain off the face, labeled with your child's first and last 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 first and last name.

... for Dance Battles Camp
