Packing for an Adventure at Timberlake
PACKING FOR AN ADVENTURE AT TIMBERLAKE Choose your vessel! Trunks are good for staying organized and have nostalgic charm. However, they do not ship well and cannot be taken on the bus from NYC. If you choose to bring up a trunk in your car, just make sure it is no more than 19" tall so that it fits under the bunk. Duffel Bags are a good alternative. Label Everything I figure each camper brings about 200 items, so that's over 20,000 items to be misplaced and mixed up at camp. If it's labeled, we can return it. We provide laundry service every 7-10 days Each camper can contribute clothes to the “cabin” bag to be sent away to be cleaned and dried at a local facility. Simple Living Think practicality, comfort, and affordability. Please let us know if you need support in borrowing any clothing or equipment before buying things brand new. Sleeping pads, hiking backpacks are all items we can loan out. We encourage kids to explore at camp which often means getting dirty and wearing practical clothes. Check out some cabin and toilet pictures at the end of this document. Clothing □ 7-9 pairs of underwear □ 6-9 pairs of regular socks (cotton or some other suitable material). Lightweight wool socks can be worn several days in a row, retain less odor and keep you warm when they are wet. □ 2 pairs of hiking socks to be worn with boots (allow for some shrinkage when they are washed and dried) □ 1 pairs of long underwear (separate top and bottom) made of polypro, wool or fleece/capilene….not cotton □ 1-2 long-sleeved shirts □ 2-4 pairs of shorts, at least one of which should be made of non-cotton material, loose fitting and cut above the knee, for hiking □ 2-3 pairs of long pants or jeans, at least one pair of which should be non-cotton.
