Summer Camp Advice

Summer camp is a great way to have fun and make friends over your break! Lots of kids feel shy or unsure on the first day. That’s totally normal! Once you start meeting other kids, camp counselors, and having fun, you’ll have a blast. Here’s a check list of essentials to bring with you to ensure you have a great stay! 

• Bug Spray

• Flashlight 

• Goggles 

• Good Walking Shoes 

• Laundry Sack 

• Pillow

• Raincoat

• Sandals 

• Sleeping Bag

• Sunglasses

• Sunscreen

• Swimsuit

• Toiletries 

• Water Bottle 

Always remember that camp is a great place to meet new people. Being friendly goes a long way. Try introducing yourself, sharing supplies, or asking someone to join you in an activity to make new friends. This makes camp fun for everyone! 

Camp is a unique place designed for exploration. You might discover new hobbies or a favorite activity at camp. Try new things you might not typically get to do at home—archery, swimming, and hiking are just a few examples. Some activities, like high ropes courses, might seem scary at first. Remember to dive in and give things a try! The most rewarding experiences often come from challenging yourself. 

Your camp counselors are there to make sure every camper is safe and that you are having a good time. If you need help during your camp stay or have a question, reach out to them. They are always happy to help and are there to be your guides. 

Most importantly, don’t forget to always take care of yourself. Drink lots of water, wear plenty of sunscreen, and keep track of all your things so you’re ready for every camp adventure. Have fun, make memories, try new things, and enjoy your summer!
