What Should You Bring to Camp?

Suggested list of items:

Old, sturdy and inexpensive clothes – laundry is done on weekly basis.

One footlocker packed with a complete inventory list of all campers’ possessions taped to inside of the top.

  • 4 sheets (2 fitted, 2 flat + rubber one if necessary)
  • 2 pillowcases
  • 1 pillow
  • 2 blankets
  • 10 pairs of socks
  • 10 pairs of underpants
  • 1-2 pairs of pajamas
  • 8 pairs of shorts
  • 10 shirts
  • flashlight and batteries
  • toiletry articles and soap
  • 1-2 sweatshirts
  • 1 pair of sweatpants
  • 2-3 pairs of long pants
  • 1 warm wool sweater or fleece jacket
  • 1 rain jacket or coat and cap
  • 2 swimsuits (one-piece preferred)
  • 2 pairs of tennis shoes
  • 1 pair of heeled shoes for riding
  • 1 pair of hiking boots
  • 1 outfit for an off-site outing
  • 4-6 bath towels
  • 2 washcloths
  • 1 drinking cup
  • 1 laundry bag
  • 1 pair flip-flops or Tevas

We also suggest one sleeping bag in a stuff sack.  However, the sleeping bag does not replace sheets and blankets.  Campers may also bring a baseball glove, tennis racquet, camera and film, riding boots, musical instruments, costumes, books and stationery. 

It is essential that all items be clearly marked with the camper’s name. Campers are responsible for their personal property, including loss or theft.
