MAD LIBS rule!!! I have been going through a big book of mad libs for a couple of years now and they are awesome on rainy days because everyone can do it together.

Packing for camp can be really hard! I recommend getting a very sturdy trunk, such as the one I have from Everything Summer Camp! I love it! If your camp let's you I recommend bringing a duffle bag and backpack to hold things that don’t fit in you trunk.

If you haven’t been before, you might not know to bring a shower caddy of wrap around towel! These are both VERY important. The shower caddy makes it supper easy to carry your shampoo, conditioner, body wash, etc, to the bathroom and back, even if the shower is in the cabin, I recommend one. Also a wrap around towel is very important because you will be holding many things on the way from the shower, so a wrap around towel makes you not have to hold your towel up!

If you are going to camp for the first time you probably don’t know what type of bedding to bring. Normally, the camp mattresses aren’t very thick, so if your camp allows you to, I recommend getting an egg crate to put on top of the mattress. I also have a mattress topper. I recommend getting 2 sheet sets, even if you only go for a week, because you never know what could happen. I also think that having either a warm blanket or quilt for on top of your bed is very important to keep you warm!

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.
