- Take Inventory
We will provide you with our suggested packing list for camp. Let it serve as a guide for what you will need to purchase. Before coming into the store for your camp appointment, we suggest taking inventory of what items you may already have at home for your child. Keep in mind that there are certain things that you have at home that you will need to buy additionally to send to camp. (For example, bedding, towels, etc.)
- Find Out About Your Camp’s Specifications
Most camps will provide you with their packing list. Often times they are very much consistent with our suggested packing list. Some camps, however, have very specific items that they require or prohibit. For example, some camps require a certain number of red shorts. Additionally, other camps have restrictions on what size trunks your child’s belongings may be sent in. Our camp specialists are familiar with many of these specifications, but we recommend finding out what your camp requires or prohibits prior to coming in for your camp appointment.
