Packing

1. Ensure everything is labelled!We need to be able to determine which things belong to which girls!

2. Pack WARM clothes and bedding!We will be spending time outside regardless of the weather (rain, snow, sleet or shine!) so please be sure to pack accordingly. The kit list includes extra clothes just in case!

3. Have the camper pack her own bagThis is very important so that each camper knows what she has and where to find it. This is also a requirement for girls to earn their Camping programming badges!

4. Suggestion – Use zip lock bagsPacking each outfit in a labelled zip lock bag can help keep things organized and dry. It eliminates the need for girls to empty their bag in search of a particular item!

5. Choose a bag your camper can carry and keep in mind the order of packing inside the bag and how items are grouped.

a) Bed Roll: All items should be bundled together and waterproofed in either a tarp or waterproof stuff sack.

b) Day Pack: Small pack to carry items to activity sessions/on a hike.c) Main Pack: Backpack or small duffle for clothing and gear.

6. MedicationsAll medications and must be placed in a re-sealable bag with the participant’s name on the outside of the bag and given to Kelly upon arrival. Medications must be in the original packaging, clearly labelled with the participant’s name and dosage instructions. Medications are to be self-administered by the participant except in cases where supervisors need to assist younger girls or when an Epi-pen needs to be used. Ideally, please speak to us in advance if your daughter requires medication.

7. Please leave all electronics at home (no iPods, iPads, etc.)As per the attached kit list, girls may bring a few small items from home for quiet time before bed and for early risers (i.e. a book and notebook with pens).

8. Food and Dietary Concerns/Allergies:Girls are NOT to bring extra snacks. We will be providing all the food. If there are any dietary concerns, please ensure you speak to us well in advance of the camp to make arrangements.
