What to Pack WHAT TO BRING TO CAMP Use this handy checklist when packing so you don’t forget anything! Helpful Hints 1. Label everything clearly and permanently - clothing (including socks and underwear), shoes, towels, sports equipment, sleeping bags, cameras, flashlights, toothbrush, etc. 2. Pack belongings in duffel bags and label with baggage tags (will be mailed to you). No suitcases or trunks are allowed. Campers may bring a small carry on for the bus ride. Campers must restrict their belongings to only two duffel bags maximum and one carry on. Campers with excessive amounts of clothing will be asked to remove portions of their belongings to be placed in storage or taken home. Snacks for the bus ride must be nut free. All leftover food will be taken upon arrival to camp. 3. Do not send expensive clothing or equipment - campers play in all kinds of weather. Although all reasonable precautions are taken, the camp is not responsible for loss, damage or theft of any belongings in transit or at camp. 4. The following list is only a suggestion of what to bring. We encourage parents to use what they have on hand and limit any new purchases. Laundry is sent out once per week, therefore pack accordingly.

  • Pack Like a Pro!
    Pack Like a Pro! Packing clothes and accessories seems easy enough but these days there are so many tools to make packing even more efficient by saving space in your bag as well as organizing it so it doesn’t become a disaster going in and out of it. Warnings: Shorts are not always the best attire even during the summer season for the UK so check weather before you pack and remember their 50-60 is not the same as a hot state like Florida or country like Jamaica. Don’t be misled if you believe jeans are great to pack. They aren’t the best type of pants to take as they weigh more and are thicker than casual pants such as kaki or chino (cotton) pants. If it is a colder season, taking a pair of long johns/thermal underclothing and layer instead. You need lots of shoes to go with all your outfits? Absolutely NOT! You just need a good pair of walking/hiking shoes or boots and a nice pair of casual shoes (optional: formal if you have a formal engagement during your vacation) Walk-About in UK: A lot of the ground for walking in the UK the majority of time will be uneven pavement/sidewalks and grounds. If you have bad ankles, consider taking hiking boots. NOTE: Don’t pack them in the check-in bag but wear them on the plane. Once settled in your seat, take them off during the long flight and using slippers or sock booties. Then, pack one pair of nice/casual shoes in your check-in bag.
