What should my child bring to camp?
- Lunches – parents/guardians must provide a lunch for their children. We encourage campers to bring a litter-less, eco-friendly lunch (reusable items).
- Campers must also bring: A water bottle, insect repellent, sunscreen, a change of clothes and shoes, closed-toe shoes, sunglasses, a towel, and a hat.
- Please label your child’s supplies since we cannot allow campers to share certain items without parent/guardian permission (e.g. sunscreen and insect repellent). Items such as sunscreen, bug spray, water bottles, and hats can be stored at camp for the week.
- We will provide water and snacks. We strive to provide healthy snacks, however, if your child has dietary restrictions we recommend packing a snack from home.

Your child(ren) will only be allowed to go home with people you have indicated on the permission list (provided at the beginning of camp).
