Pine Cove: Packing for Camp

Family Conference Packing List

What to Bring

  • Clothes for each day Everyone will need comfortable play clothes for each day, plus a couple extras in case someone needs a change! It's camp, so please only bring clothes that can potentially get a little dirty.
  • Jacket & Cold Weather Clothes Depending on the weather, you might want jackets, hats, and gloves. Prep for rain as needed!
  • Shoes and Socks Depending on the weather, camp can be muddy, so bring shoes that can get dirty.
  • Jeans & hard-soled shoes if doing optional horseback riding
  • Theme night apparel Go as big or small as you want, but you'll want to think through what you want to wear for each theme night.
  • Sleep things White noise machines, cozy pajamas, lovies, storybooks...whatever extras your family needs to get a great night of sleep.
  • Toiletries We have towels and soap, but anything else you need, like a hair dryer, bring with you.
  • Meds Anything your family might need. Allergy meds are commonly needed.
  • Flashlights
  • Backpack for each kid They'll bring it with their Bible and water bottle to their program each day.
  • Water Bottles
  • Bible/Notebook/Pen
  • Umbrella If there is rain in the forecast!

Optional Items

  • Snacks Our snack shop is open in the afternoon, but pack some if you need them during other times of day or have specific dietary needs.
  • Small cooler To keep ice from the dining hall in your cabin
  • Cabin toys / activities You might play outside the entire time, but some families find it helpful to have a few options for a cabin rest time or while everyone is getting ready for theme nights.
  • Paper blackout shade If your kids (or you) need it completely dark in the cabin, you may want a couple of these just in case you need them.
  • Bikes / Scooters Our Crier Creek and Woods camp properties are a little more spread out, so bikes and scooters are useful!
