PARENTS, PLEASE NOTE! The problem of keeping track of the and other possessions of 230 campers is tremendous! Our exceptional record of negligible losses can be maintained only by your continued cooperation in: Mark EVERYTHING with child’s full name. (Yes, that means every item that child brings - not FIRST: just clothing!) We suggest either a permanent marking pen, such as a “Sharpie”, or iron-on labels. Note: if you choose an iron-on gummed tape, be sure it is of high enough quality to withstand multiple washings and commercial dryers. Write on the “check-list” how many of each article you are sending as you pack it. Do not SECOND: overlook marking and listing clothing and other items worn or carried to camp! Your count will be verified as we unpack the campers, and their possessions will be talliedagain as we pack them up to return home. THIRD: Send the completed list IN THE PACKED BAG.

THE SLEEPING BAG: We find it theideal camp bedding. It is easy to make (yes, the campers make their bed neatly each morning!), keeps the campers warm on the cool-ish nights here in the mountains, and can be equipped with a washable liner (which keeps the hygiene level high). A good quality bag with a full zipper can be a lifetime investment. Medium weight (it never gets below 40ºF here in the summer) is ideal. Don’t forget to mark it with your camper’s name! WATER BOTTLE/CAMELBACK: In our efforts to maintain good health for everyone, we urge campers to keep a water bottle filled with our fresh, pure drinking waterFOR FREQUENT DAILY USE. To avoid loss, we suggest a carrier such as a shoulder strap, pack, or ‘Camelback’. No need to send bottled water with your camper. LUGGAGE & PACKING: In packing, duffel bags or suitcases are preferable to trunks/footlockers, which are hard to store at camp. You may find the enclosed flyer on the “Mega-Pak” of some interest. The childrens’ belongings are all unpacked at camp, and each has his/her own set of shelves.

PLEASE LEAVE AT HOME: Food, gum, extra cash, good jewelry, large & dangling , heavy makeup, aerosol spray cans, expensive toys/clothing, firearms, ALL knives, hand axes; electronic equipment of ANY sort: radios, TVs, MP3 players, video games, hand-held video game consoles, cell phones, electronic books (e.g. Kindles), irons, hair heat tools (e.g. hair dryer of flat iron), any battery/electrical/gas powered items or devices; comics, and “questionable taste” items of any sort. Please call us if there is a question! Camp provides its own entertainment and stimulation. If any unsuitable items, not limited to the above, are brought to camp, they are locked safely in a tuck box in the camp office until departure time.EXCEPTION: food, drink, candy, gum, or anything crude or vulgar is NOT returned at all. Don’t bring it!
