String Lights

Posted on

Consider packing fun string lights, battery operated clip-on fans or reading lights for bunks too.  Your bunk is your special space so decorating with pictures and stuff from home might also help prevent homesickness.  (Remember tacks or tape for photos).  A pack of Command hooks could come in handy too.

Accessories

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.

Set Aside Camp Items

I label and set aside items my son will use for camp in a clear plastic bin as I acquire them throughout the year and then it it really easy to pack his trunk!

Sending a few sets of clothes that you don't mind being completely ruined is always a good idea.

Zipties

Posted on

Use zipties to "lock" your zippers on the way up to camp. It prevents the zippers from opening or from having anyone open your trunks on the way to camp.
