What to Bring to Camp
• BACKPACK/BAG — Pack and label one bag for your child with all items labeled (water bottle, lunch, hat, sunscreen, extra socks, sweatshirt, etc.) Please ensure all items are clearly marked with your child’s first and last name.
• LUNCH — Send PLENTY of food for lunch and snacks. We are actively playing all day and the children get hungry. Pack a healthy, substantial, lunch with your child that DOES NOT REQUIRE REFRIGERATION. We do not provide refrigerators for camper lunches.
• SUNSCREEN — Make sure your child has sunscreen already applied before coming to camp. Pack an additional bottle in their bag for application during camp. Make sure it is labeled with your camper’s name.
• CLOSED-TOE ATHLETIC SHOES — Send your camper in closed-toe shoes appropriate for active outdoor play. Old tennis shoes are best because they are already broken in and will get very dirty. Sandals, flip flops, and Crocs make everyday activities difficult and put your child at a greater risk to trip, fall, or sustain foot and ankle injuries. (Sandals, flip flops, etc. are appropriate for pool days, BUT please pack them in your child’s bag) Please send your child to camp in closed-toe athletic shoes so he/she can fully participate in all scheduled active play.
