Evenings can get a bit chilly, so bring a jacket or sweatshirt. A sturdy pair of closed-toe shoes is a must-have for all the exploring we'll be doing. And of course, pack some socks!

Next up, personal care items. Don't forget your toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, shampoo, and any other toiletries you use daily. Sunscreen is super important to protect your skin from the sun's rays. Bring a hat and sunglasses too. If you wear glasses or contacts, make sure to pack an extra pair or a backup kit. Keeping hydrated is a big deal at camp, so a reusable water bottle is a must. It's also a good idea to pack a small backpack to carry your essentials during the day. Consider bringing a flashlight or headlamp for nighttime activities. Any personal medications should be clearly labeled and brought along with instructions for our camp nurses.

Don't forget to pack any personal items that will make you feel comfortable and at home. You can bring your favorite book, a journal for writing down your thoughts, or a deck of cards to play with your new friends. Camp is all about making memories, so you might want to bring a camera to capture those unforgettable moments. While it's great to have these personal items, we recommend leaving expensive electronics at home. Camp is all about disconnecting and connecting with nature and each other.
