NEW CAMPER BLOG SERIES:
PACKING TIPS 

Hello New Campers and New Parents!

Welcome to our New Camper Blog Series. We want to help you feel more comfortable about coming to camp. Over the next few weeks we will be giving you tips and tricks on all things camp. We want you to know the ins and outs of Camp High Rocks before you even get here!

Let’s give you some insider tips on useful items for camp! These items will make your time at Camp High Rocks smooth sailing. Check out our list below!

  

USEFUL ITEMS TO HAVE AT CAMP:

  • RAINCOAT– we sure do love rain and will often play in it so bring something to cover up
  • FLASHLIGHT – being able to see where you are going at camp is important
  • BACKPACK OR DAY BAG – this can be huge for those out of camp trips or simply to carry around your water bottle all day long
  • EXTRA SOCKS –  socks get wet or get dirty more often than you think – do yourself a solid and bring more than you think you will need
  • 3 TOWELS – the more the merrier (no one wants to use a wet towel)… don’t worry camp does laundry every week to keep them nice and clean
  • CRAZY CREEK – a foldable chair for morning assembly or to hang out in around the campfire
 
 
Where can you buy these items? Check out our online camp store. We sell crazy creeks, water bottles, socks and more. Grab your camper the latest cool swag!
 

TWO LAST TIPS:

(1)LABELING IS IMPORTANT
Campers, you and your parents should go through every piece of clothes you are bringing to camp and label them with your first AND last name! Clothes tend to get a little jumbled up at camp and if you want your clothes back then label away! Get friendly with a sharpie or (director hint: make sticky labels).

(2)SHOW YOUR CAMPERS
Parents this tip is for you! Show your campers where you packed things and what you packed. This can make getting dressed and ready each morning a little easier. In a later blog post, we will talk more about how to pack.
