Pine Cove Towers
Packing & Theme Nights
Please pack all the camper's items in a trunk (like this one) or one large container. Luggage should be under 15 inches tall so it fits under the bunk bed. Many campers like to decorate their trunks!
At this age many parents (and campers!) find it helpful to put an entire day's outfit into a gallon ziplock bag labeled with the day. Same thing for theme night costumes. It makes it super clear for the camper what to wear when!
Want to skip the packing hassle? Order an Essentials Kit! These kits come with over 20 branded items straight from this list - just add clothes and you're ready to go.
Not too tight.
Must be knuckle length. Girls will need one pair of athletic shorts (no buttons or zippers) to wear with their swimsuit.
To be worn for evening themed activities; must abide by all other dress code guidelines. Leotards and/or tutus must be worn with shorts.
For girls, a modest one-piece swimsuit without cutouts, or a rashguard with athletic shorts. All girls are required to wear athletic shorts (no buttons or zippers) with their swimsuits for all water inflatables.
Must cover the toes and include a heel strap/cover (for instance: Crocs, Natives, etc.)
For a twin size bed
This is where any muddy clothes will go.
No medication (over-the-counter or prescription) or vitamins packed in luggage. Read the medication guidelines here.
Packing an entire outfit in a large ziploc and writing the day on it makes it easy for your camper to know what to wear!
All letters and packages must be in camper trunks at the start of the week. Read more on mail here.
These are great for hanging on the bunk and holding towels or laundry bags.
A photo from home, a cute pom-pom garland... you might want to bring some things to personalize your space. Just keep it reasonable and easy to remove!

Thursday: Battle of the Bands This battle is bound to be one for the ages! Campers will be tasked with taking back the Towers in a competition that is certain to get messy. Bring an old bathing suit (and girls, be sure to pack some old shorts too). You’ll likely want to throw these away… they’ll get pretty muddy!
Friday: Glow in the Dark Waterpark Light up the night at Glow in the Dark Waterpark! Wear your swimsuit, grab your glow sticks, and get ready to splash and shine all night long!
As a general rule, if you can’t bring it to school, you shouldn’t bring it to camp.
Camp is the perfect opportunity for everyone—counselors and campers alike—to get a break from screens! Leaving electronic devices at home allows for campers to get a chance to spend time outdoors, build connections with friends, and experience undistracted moments. But don't worry—you'll be able to use the CampLife App to communicate!
Packing meds can bring up a lot of questions, and there are some important state and local regulations we need to follow. We put all the info together into a handy-dandy guide to tell you everything you need to know, including prescription guidelines, leaving OTC meds at home, when meds are given out, and more.
Our all-inclusive Camp Essentials kit comes with everything you need for summer - just add clothes! These kits include over twenty branded items straight from our packing list, including bags pre-labeled by day. See the complete item list and order in the webstore! Kits begin shipping in early May.
We've got a full webpage chock full of all the details you want (and need) to know before you get to camp.
