Pack lots of fun dress-up accessories. Camp brings out the silliness in everyone and cabin spirit is important. Pack bead, necklaces, colored sunglasses, bandanas, wigs, hats, knee socks, face paint, and variety of colored shirts so all campers can dress in one color for events. White shirts or socks are sometimes used to decorate for camp spirit as well.

Bring a notebook! I brought a notebook as a diary kind of thing to write down my experiences at camp. I love looking back at what I wrote, it makes me excited for next year!

When it comes to themes and activities, extra is best! Don’t be afraid to be the kiddo with the themed attire, trust me it’s so much more fun to get into the themes!

I went to kamp for most of my childhood and am now a counselor at the camp I grew up at. It has been an incredible blessing to be able to see girls grow up summer to summer, and know that I can be there for them the same way my counselors were there for me when I was a camper. My biggest piece of advice is simple: embrace it. Embrace the late night dance parties, the mosquito bites, the star gazing, the camp food, the classes, the cabin jokes, the new friends - all of it. Every year at kamp brings new opportunities and excitement, so go into it ready to have the most fun ever doing anything and everything that comes your way. I met some of my most important and cherished friends at kamp (both as a camper and a counselor) and I can honestly say I would be lost without them. But I would never have found them if I hadn't embraced camp in all it's glory and been open to their new friendships when they came along. Camp can change your life forever in the best ways possible, so let it!
