I am the biggest over-packer so if you know someone going to camp your going to ask them what it was like and what you should and shouldn’t bring but one thing you will need is socks. I always lost my socks.

The food at camp was always so good. I however am a picky eater. Try the food! I tried some foods that didn't seem appetizing and they ended up being amazing or some things I ended up not liking as much but always try the food!

Don't be afraid to try new things. You're at camp, get a little dirty. Some activities might have you get messy so when your packing, bring clothes you don't care about.

Bring decorations for your cabin. Nothing big but maybe some string lights or photos of family and friends for your bunk.

Camp activities are fun! However they can only be fun when you try new ones! Maybe one day you’re doing arts and crafts and you really like it and then you keep doing it and you wont get to do other activities. Try to get a variety and try new things.
