packing For Camp
These items are recommended for a 2-week session. Laundry is done during the second week of a 2-week session. Please label everything with your camper’s first and last names. We suggest a suitcase, duffel bag, or plastic under-bed box rather than a trunk. Luggage is stored under beds, which measure 15” high and 40” deep for the cabins.
