What-To-Bring-List - Volunteers

Remember that we are at camp in cabins, not in dorms or hotels. Be prepared to rough it a bit and to be a little sweatier and dirtier than you are used to. Feel free to add your favorite items to the list. It is encouraged that you use what you already have (or visit Goodwill, the dollar store, etc. if you wish), but don’t spend a lot of money. If you have extra items, feel free to bring to lend or share.

Please be advised:

●Be prepared for any type of weather!!

●Pack modest clothes → that means no short shorts, no low-cut shirts, and nothing with inappropriate language/symbols. The focus of camp is on the kids and their fun!

●Do NOT bring expensive stuff, knives, matches, lighters, tobacco, marijuana, alcohol, fireworks, or anything illegal or inappropriate for children.

●Do NOT bring any snacks with peanuts!
