Youth Packing List

Rain or shine, you will be spending the majority of your time at camp outside. Therefore, come prepared for the most challenging weather: rain, wind, and cold.

Bring clothing made out of fleece and wool as they will keep you warm even when you are a bit wet. Try to leave your cotton clothing at home since cotton sucks up moisture and makes you colder when you get wet.

If cotton is all you have, please make sure that you have good rain gear. Bring clothes for inside and outside activities.

Don’t let this list deter you from coming to camp. If there is something you’re missing, we have it for you to borrow while at camp!
