Daily Packing List 2023

All items brought to camp should be clearly labeled with the camper’s first and last name. 
  • A backpack/bag to hold ALL belongings
  • Sunscreen in a plastic bag & kept at camp (spray is preferred)
  • Insulated Water Bottle
  • Bathing Suit & plastic bag 
  • Towel
  • Lunch and drink (except Fridays or if ordered vendor lunch online) 
  • Change of clothes with underwear & socks (to keep at camp in case of an “accident,” 4- 6yr olds.)
Shoes (Please do not send flip flops)
  • Sneakers – to be worn for activities throughout the day
  • Waterproof Shoes/Sandals with heel strap (for pool & running during water activities)
Optional Items
  • Lip Balm
  • Swim goggles (kept at camp)
  • Ear Plugs (for those susceptible to “swimmer’s ear”) 
  • Eyeglass case for campers that wear glasses

*Please ensure your child’s name is on all their belongings including underwear and socks. We do a lot of changing in and out of clothes and socks and underwear tend to go unidentified.

LOST AND FOUND

All personal articles should be plainly marked with your camper’s name. Please order name tapes, a camp stamp, or a marking pen to identify your child’s clothing. A good vendor for some great washable nametags is Label Daddy. Visit LabelDaddy.com and enter CACTUS for 25% off. This company offers high-quality washable name tags. Please mark your camper’s clothing with first and last names. 

Many campers have similar or the same clothing and may inadvertently go home with the wrong child. Items with name labels almost always typically make it back to the correct child. We suggest you check your child’s bag each evening to make sure items have not been left at camp and your child brought home only items that belong to them. We are happy to assist in trying to locate lost items. Call, text, or email the camp office to give us details. All items that have accumulated and are not claimed by Labor Day will be donated.

*Counselors will collect sunscreen & goggles to be stored at camp.
