We want to make sure all our campers are prepared for adventure. We ask that parents assist in the packing of items to ensure that nothing is left behind and only appropriate items are brought along. Follow these checklists:

Clothing should not expose upper thighs, belly, back, shoulders, underwear, or chest for ladies or gentlemen. This means no shorts shorter than finger length, halter-tops, midriff shirts, t-shirts with inappropriate designs or sayings, super baggy shorts, and no two-piece “bikini” bathing suits (two-piece “tankini” style is accepted).

Be Sure to Pack:

• Sleeping Bag & Pillow

• Toothbrush and toothpaste

• Lightweight rain gear/poncho

• Flashlight & extra batteries

• Kleenex

• Toiletries (deodorant, soap, shampoo)

• Sneakers – Closed Toe Shoes (not optional)

• Shower shoes/Flip flops

• Sunglasses (preferably a cheap pair)

• Towel and washcloth

• Jeans or Casual Pants (2)

• Shorts (2-3)

• Swimsuit (1) (see note above)

• T-shirts (5-6)

• Jacket/sweatshirt for campfire (1)

• Sleeping clothes

• Socks (6)

• Underwear (6)

• Hat/Cap or Sun Visor (1)

• Sunscreen (The sun is especially strong at our high elevation.) and lip balm/Chapstick/lip stuff.

• Insect repellant (The bugs are plentiful at times, and we don't want to be itching or getting sick.)

• Water bottle (closed top, reusable, and durable like Nalgene...we need to drink plenty of water at our high altitude)

• Cash (dollar bills are best) for the Trading Post to get snacks each afternoon (approximately two dollar bills for five days = $10)

Optional Items to Bring

• Camera & Film (preferably disposable with name on it)

  • Phones will be collected for the week and returned at the end. If your child wants to take pictures please make sure to provide a camera other than their phone.

• Card Games

• Book to read during break and FOB (Flat on Bunk quiet time each afternoon)

• Beach Towel

• Sports Equipment (though most things are at Camp already)

• Musical Instrument (for playing during the week and at our talent show, but we are not responsible for any damage or mishandling, so bring at your own risk)

• Personal journal & writing supplies

Leave It at Your House...

• Anything on the banned substance list from the Youth Code of Conduct

• Illegal Substances

• Pets

• Fireworks

• Army knife

• Any electronic distraction (games, MP3, laptops, iPads)

• Expensive jewelry

• ANY Food or drink (it is not allowed in cabins because it attracts small furry rodents, but if a camper needs food for allergies, contact us to make arrangements)

• Your parents (they can drop you off and pick you up, but we promise not to let them stay!)

Parents are always the primary catechists and largest influences in the life of their children. As youth ministers, we support the good work you do daily in your homes, cars, schools, sports fields, auditoriums, and elsewhere. Thank you for sharing your young people with us and allowing us to teach the faith and build community.

​

We want your camper to be healthy, comfortable, and open to God's work. At Camp, a professional staff is helped by faithful and energetic volunteers. We have a nurse on staff for the week, healthy meals prepared by Camp Perkins, and priests and youth ministers to care for the spiritual needs of your youth.
