Signed up for camp? Check! Now let’s start packing with these essentials.

Must-Haves

• Duffle or Chest: This will be home base for all of your camper’s stuff. Look for something sturdy with plenty of storage.
• Clothes: Pack a week’s worth of match-with-everything, dirt-friendly options. Don’t forget one long-sleeve layer just in case temperatures drop.
• Laundry Bag: Along with your camper, you’ll be bringing home lots of dirty clothes. Go for a pop-up hamper with easy-to-grab handles for ultimate convenience.
• Toiletries: Hopefully your camper will take a few showers while away! Make sure to grab a toiletry bag filled with travel-size must-haves to make washing up quick and easy. Don’t forget bug spray to minimize bites and stings!
• Special Tools: Whether you’re packing for a STEM enrichment program or a volleyball camp, make sure to grab any items specific to your activity.
