What to Bring
Remember that sheets, towels, and blankets are provided by camp. They will also provide a pillow, but you are welcome to bring your own.
It's our tradition to bring individually wrapped snacks to share on the trip! We'll divide the snacks and have them available in leaders' rooms while at camp.
