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.

Theme nights are one more way we make camp seriously fun! These energetic, themed parties take a common activity like a pool party, station game, or dance and take them to a whole new level. For more details on theme nights, check out our guide, and see below for this summer's theme nights when they're announced.
2026 Theme Nights will be posted soon. Check back for the full list!
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.
