What to Pack for Summer Camp


I am writing this post, because we had no clue what we were doing when I helped pack Calvin up for camp for the very first time. Our Scoutmaster was very helpful, but I still had questions like, how do I prepare him for rain?


In the duffle bag:

Photobucket

Swim trunks
Swim towel
Swim goggles
Emergency Ponchos
Bath Towel
Bath bag (toiletries)
Flip flops (for the shower)
Clothes (3 days worth til Mom comes on family night to switch out dirty with clean)

In the bookbag:

Photobucket

The bookbag is packed in preparation for any hikes he might go on.
Hat
Head Scarf
Sunglasses
Emergency Poncho
Sunscreen
Bug Spray
Notebook
Scout Handbook
Matches in Water Proof Tube (with Fire'm Chit Card)
Pocket Knife (with Totin' Chip Card)
First Aid Kit
Compass
Pencil Box with Pencils, Pen, and Sharpener
Disposable Camera in plastic bag (in case of rain)

Other items:

Pillow and Sleeping Bag
Extra Pair of Shoes
$5 a day for the Canteen (very important to the boys to be able to spend a little money on a treat or two in their free time)
