provided by the camp. That list should also include
items that you absolutely must bring with you. Be certain
to double check that you have packed everything before
you depart for camp!
Bedding: Be sure you have reviewed whether or
not you must bring or the camp will provide bedding
and towels. Be precise on the following:
