Summer Resident Camp - What to Bring to Camp Checklist
Use this list to help you pack your camper’s luggage. Involving your camper in this process familiarizes him/her
with what you are sending to camp. What to bring to camp will depend on the length of stay and nature of the
program. In some cases, there are specialty items that are mandatory for all campers. Please note these items
carefully. All items brought to camp should be clearly marked with the camper’s first and last name. YMCA Storer
