What can you bring to Camp?
Lunch - Campers should bring a small cooler or insulated bag to keep their food cool.
Sunscreen - All parents must send their child to camp with sunscreen and bug spray.
Bathing suit & Towel - We swim Monday, Thursday, and Friday at the Gath Pool. Campers will also swim on fieldtrips days above.
Sneakers - Our campers participate in a sports activity every day. It is safer for your child to wear sneakers during camp.
What NOT to bring to Camp:
Trading Cards or Toys - These items can be distracting to other campers & trading often leads to unnecessary arguments.
Cell phones, Tablets, Handheld Games - These are high theft items, and we cannot guarantee their security. It is illegal for us to lock a school bus and it is not practical for a camper to carry them all day.
Large coolers & bags - We can't accommodate these large items on our bus.
