Must haves for two weeks: • 8 shirts or T-shirts • 4 pairs of pants • 4 pairs of shorts • 14 pairs of underwear • 14 pairs of socks • 2 or 3 swimsuits • 2 or 3 beach towels • 3 sweat shirts/fleece • 1 raincoat • 2 pairs of pajamas • 2 pairs of athletic shoes • 1 pair of sandals or thongs • slumber bag with stuff sack & pillow • Address book (phone numbers already in it) • Stamped, pre-addressed postcards/envelopes • Disposable camera Camp Tips Personalize everything: lots of camps end up with “tons” of forgotten clothes — monograms and names help keep clothes with their campers. They can’t bring too much underwear: lots of camp counselors say kids run out of undies — so pack extra! Pack something that reminds them of home: everybody gets homesick — a favorite stuffed animal, toy, or picture can help ward off the “wanna-go-home blues.” Write to your child: letters at camp are better than root beer floats — write often and include pics!
