The more personalized (whether that be name stickers or very identifiable stickers) the better, when identifying that it belongs to you, especially camp apparel.

Choosing a Backpack

If you need a backpack, don't have it be a draw string. They always end up super full, break, or really hurt your shoulders.

Lost Items at Camp
Posted on
At our camp, our most lost item is beach towels, as that is not an item that kids aren't used to carrying around or to what design their parents packed for them

Comforts of Home
Posted on
Be sure to include some of the comforts of home. Pack your kiddo’s special snacks to share with bunk mates, small stack of favorite books and an MP3 player. These comforts will not only make them feel at home, but also give them some things to share with their bunkmates.

Make Packing Lists for Your Camper
Posted on
When packing your trunk, complete a packing list! Put an empty checkmark next to each item packed and send it to camp inside the trunk along with a pen. When it’s time to pack up and come home, they can use this handy list to go over everything they repack and make sure they aren’t leaving anything important behind.
