***PARENTS YOU MUST CHECK YOUR CHILD IN!!!***
Checklist for Camp:
______1. Two pairs of supportive sneakers. However, it is recommended you do not use new sneakers.
______2. Plenty of clean socks. At least two pairs per day is recommended in case of rainy weather. Also, 5 plain white short sleeved tshirts.
______3. Clothes for rainy weather (i.e. poncho, rain jacket, warmer clothes, etc.). As long as it is not thundering and lightening, we will be marching.
______4. Towels—a hanger to hang them up on so they can dry out slightly would also be helpful. Swimsuit and extra towel.
______5. Although there will be first aid supplies readily available, it is recommended that you bring basic necessities such as Band-Aids, etc.
______6. A sleeping bag, bed covers (twin size mattress cover sheet, etc.), and a pillow
______7. Basic Toiletries (Toothbrush, shampoo, etc.)
______8. A flashlight with fresh batteries—it gets very dark at night and there are not many lights
______9. Clothes for the cool weather at night, as it does get chilly
______10. Clothes for warm weather, for you can get very hot being in the sun for such extended periods of time. Also, it would be most convenient for you to have pants with pockets. Clothes worn during drill work must also allow for mobility and your feet MUST be visible. Jeans are not okay for drill.
______11. Sunscreen! We are in the sun for many hours at a time and sunburn is almost unavoidable without sunscreen. However, in the event of sunburn, it is a good idea to have Aloe.
______12. A hat and sunglasses to shield your eyes from the sun
______13. Bug spray; we are in open fields and in the woods all day
______14. There will be water coolers at camp, so it is your choice to either bring a refillable water bottle, or your own pack of water bottles. However, make sure you bring one or the other to keep yourself hydrated.
______15. A separate 3-ring hard-cover binder in addition to your music binder with a minimum of 60 plastic inserts
______16. A spiral 3x5 notepad with lined paper
______17. Pencils, highlighters, sharpies, and erasers
______18. A bag that can be used to transport your things (pencils, water, etc.) throughout the day
______19. Your music in a hard-cover binder with plastic inserts
______20. Your instrument and other equipment including valve oil, sticks, reeds, flags, etc
______21. A radio and fan for each cabin is recommended. Also, there is a limited number of outlets in each cabin, so a surge protector for each cabin to provide extra outlets for these and other electronic items is recommended.
______22. Although you are allowed to bring snacks at night, we recommend you use your discretion with food as we will be in the wild and animals have no problem sneaking into your cabin for a late-night snack. Also, make sure you keep your cabin door closed to keep away unwanted visitors
______23. You will NOT need items such as curling irons, vanity mirrors, etc.
PARENTS: Although we have a strict “no parent policy” at camp, in the event of an emergency, you will be contacted. We do NOT bring extra items for children that forget things so please make sure your children have everything they need, while at the same time ensuring they do not over-pack as space is limited.
