Whether it’s the first time you’re coming to camp or you just don’t want to forget anything, here’s a list of things you may want to bring.
- Your Bible and a Notebook
- During the week we will engage in several bible studies.
- You will want to follow along in your own bible and take notes about what is said so that you can reference them later.
- Comfortable Shoes
- Two or more pairs. They will get very dirty.
- Recommend one good pair for night events, others for activities. Old shoes are great!
- During Senior Week, shoes get wet while canoeing. Consider buying a cheap pair of webbed boating shoes (e.g. Walmart).
- Plenty of Towels
- Campers shower 1-2 times a day.
- Old towels are best for camp!
- Plenty of Proper Clothing (Please read the Dress Code for camp)
- Shorts must come to the knee!
- No sleeveless shirts!
- Campers may change clothes 1-2 times daily, especially when it’s hot.
- Counselors usually have a clothesline to hang out clothes to dry.
- If you do not wear acceptable clothing, you will be sent home.
- Wear old clothes to camp!
- Cotton sheets, pillow, bed covers and/or a sleeping bag
- The bunks all have plastic covers, so bring a sheet to cover them, even if you are bringing a sleeping bag.
- It occasionally gets down near 50 degrees at night – bring a blanket along!
- Storage for Clothes
- Bunks have a 12 inch clearance from the floor. Cardboard boxes, tubs, or milk crates all work fine. They can be put under or beside them.
- Laundy Bag
- Extra pillow case or netting bag to hold dirty clothes.
- We don’t recommend plastic – clothes acquire strong odors in them!
- Shower Tote
- Small, inexpensive bucket to carry personal items (toothbrush, soap, etc) to shower.
- Flip Flops or Shower Shoes
- Wear them to take a shower because the shower floors can get grungy.
- Personal Medications, Inhalers
- We cannot prescribe medicine while at camp-you must bring it.
- The administration of daily medications is handled by our camp nurse in most cases.
- Electrical Extension Cords
- A 9-12 foot cord is great for fans and such in the cabins.
- Flashlight
- We use them at night, and once in a while if the power goes out at camp!
- Sun screen or a hat
- We are outdoors all afternoon each day.
- Talent
- If you want to participate in the Talent Show, bring music, props, or whatever you need for your act.
- We screen music before the show.
