The Camp Mom Expert

How to Pack a Trunk

Whether returning, or a first time camper, Allison Settlemeyer has some great tips concerning what a camper will need for camp. She explains what a camper will need for Opening Day, suggestions on how to keep them organized throughout the week, and ways to prepare young campers to equip them with the confidence and skill set to succeed during their time at summer camp.

What Not to Pack

Our desire is for all campers to have the best possible experience outside their home setting. If any of the following items are found, they will be confiscated and not returned until the end of the camp session:

  • Cell phones or electronic games
  • Tablets or bluetooth speakers
  • Paintball markers or paintballs
  • Knives, weapons, or fireworks
  • Personal sports equipment such as baseball gloves, bikes, lacrosse sticks, etc.
  • Pets or animals
  • Tobacco, gum, or candy.
  • Food items are not returned, but disposed of due to issues with animals and insects.
  • Any prohibited clothing items listed in the Dress Code section of the Parent Info Sheet, released in April.
