What to Bring
This clothing list is to be used as a guide you may adjust it, as it applies to your child. Make sure your camper knows what his/her belongings look like and what is being packed. In fact, it is a good idea to let them pack and you supervise.
Here are some helpful hints:
- Know the list of what not to bring and review it with your child.
- It is important that all clothing has been washed at least three (3) times; new clothing is not appropriate at camp.
- Our camp colors are red & white. Campers will need 2 RED/2 WHITE Pocono Ridge T-shirts.
- Every piece of clothing should be labeled with your name in a permanent laundry marker or with sewn-in nametags.
- Linen & Laundry services are optional and an additional cost however these services are provided once a week. Clean sheets are provided; clothing is washed, dried, folded & returned to your camper.
- In general, sweats/PJ bottoms are worn in the morning, shorts and T-shirts are worn during the day and jeans with sweatshirts in the evening.
- Be sure to bring an old pair of I don't care what happens to them sneakers separate from a good pair for play.
- You must provide 1-2 pillows & 2-4 pillowcases (international campers optional).
- Luggage is limited to TWO (2) SOFT TRUNKS/BAGS ONLY and is to arrive with your child.
- Campers will also be allowed one backpack style carry-on bag on the camp bus.
- Driving your child to camp with their luggage does NOT negate the two-bag rule!
- DO NOT pre-ship luggage!
- Remember to pack light and use soft trunks or duffel bags, NO HARD TRUNKS!
DO NOT BRING: cooking or heating devices, electric fans, irons, expensive jewelry or clothing, pocket knives or weapons of any kind, water guns, expensive toys or games, or one-of-a kind clothing.
Camp is not responsible nor guarantees the return of clothing, electronics or personal belongings whether lost, forgotten, stolen, damaged, misplaced or otherwise. Its camp, pack and prepare for it!
