​What to bring

Provided below is a basic list of items to bring to camp. Additionally, Camp Deans or leaders may send home camper letters before camp, with additional items to bring for week specific activities, such as a white shirt to tie-dye. 

  • Personal bedding items (sleeping bag/pillow/ sheets)
  • Sleepwear/Pajamas
  • Change of clothes per day (you may want to pack extra just in case!)
  • Warmer clothing for the night  games and around the campfire (sweatshirt and long pants)
  • Rain jacket
  • Close-toed shoes (required for Challenge Course and Giant Swing)
  • Sandals or flip flops (for the beach or swim area)
  • Swimsuit
  • Towel
  • Something to Tie-Dye - Anything white that is 100% cotton works great (socks, t-shirts, pillowcases, etc)
  • Toothbrush/toothpaste and other personal toiletries (including shower supplies)
  • Insect repellant
  • Sunscreen
  • Reusable water bottle
  • Flashlight/Headlamp and extra batteries (there are not a lot of streetlights so that we can see a lot of stars)
  • Sunglasses
  • Camera
  • Money for the camp store - Snacks are $1 and drinks are $1, we recommend $10 for a week of snacks.  If you'd like a t-shirt or other merchandise, you can bring more.  You can also buy t-shirts or merchandise at check-in or check-out.
  • Personal prescription medications (Camp provides regular over the counter medications for headaches, tummy aches, allergic reactions, etc.)
