Amanda helped me pack my bags for camp this summer. She’s a counselor so she knows all about what I will need. Here’s what she told me to take:
- Bathing suit
- Pajamas
- Sunhat
- Sweatshirt and sweatpants
- Shorts and t-shirts
- Socks
- Rain jacket with a hood
- Running shoes
- Sandals
- Waterproof shoes
- Toothbrush and toothpaste
- Sleeping bag and pillow
- Towel and washcloth
- Flashlight
- Reusable water bottle
- Sunscreen
- Insect repellent
- Books
- Pen and paper, envelopes
- Pack of cards
- Bit of money for the tuck shop
She told me NOT to bring expensive electronic devices or a cell phone because if they got lost or ruined I would be really upset (and so would my mom and dad!)
Personally, I prefer pitching a tent in the backyard to going to camp. I wouldn’t want to go to a camp. :) Like I said, that’s just my opinion. . . Lot of people really like camp. PEACE & LUV 4evr $~Addict502~$
i prefer going to camp because is just nice to get away from home and enjoy the scenery like the beach, wilderness, ect.
also it’s good to go with a friend so your not always seeing just your family.

What if you don’t have a cell phone?????
Exactly (you wouldn’t need one anyway though)!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ~IceWolf* =()
i think that kittycaty is right!
I would bring more than one water bottle in case the 1st one got ruined.
Okay?
Actually,you sort of would need a cell phone. But anyway that’s a long list!! And most of that stuff is what I would bring to camp
Has nothing to do with topic but, i just notice theres no skates, When I was making my skate house. PLEASE MAKE SKATES.
thats cool im going to camp the end of july and they always give us a sheet of stuff were sapose to bring.
I’m going to camp at the end of July. Yea sooooo anyways what about blankets, bug spray, brush, hairspray for us girls, underwear, comfortable shoes, and tons of other stuff. If any of you who read this like 4-H camps send me a friend request. My username is STEPINGERS. It’s all CAPS.

you need a lot more than that
i see what they’re doing here. last month it was based of friendships and stuff and this month it is going to be based on camp.
They dont know what different people would need. AND its a good idea to take your Cellphone incase some one needs to contact you.
What about an inhaler if you need one, phones are important unless they have one there. Also more than one pair of clothes, if you are gonna be at camp all July.

I was thinking about changing my name to Shadowstar. I need to know two things:
1. Has anyone already taken this name?
2. Which name sounds better?
-*Dawnstar*
Dawnstar-
I like the name Dawnstar. I think Shadowstar is too long a name. It’s up to you though. But definently fell good about your decision.
-Always :-)
dawnstar sound so much better (in my opinion)
Hi Dawnstar! I think Dawnstar is a really good name! Lillyluvie*
I, Webkinz reporter#1 say Dawnstar!
@Dawnstar I think you should keep the name Dawnstar because people already know you as that,but you should choose whatever name you like! :)

In for Anonoymus. my cousin(“Time Bandit’) and i are going to camp with my older cousin. She is a counselor at the camp, and the group leader carries the cellphone, and parents know to call to that phone. besides, not all camps have a place for people to charge their phones
Umm… The councelers will take care of you, you don’t need to bring a cellphone. The only reson you want to is because you people can’t possiblly be away from your phones for a week. I would also like to point out that camps know what you absolutly need, and they will allow you to bring other stuff if you need it. And if you REALLY need a cellphone you could buy a pre-paid one at the dollor store. They cost hardly anythig. And as I’ve said before, this is just the bare nesseities, you bring lots more on your actuall trip to camp. So, please, just leave GANZ allone on this one, okay? We really truly don’t need to stir up trobble.
If you REALLY need a phone, you should ask a counsellor. -*Dawnstar*
I’m not allowed to go outside without a cell phone, let alone go to camp without one…
Anberlin –
Some summer camps, like the one I go to, don’t allow any electronic devices (except cameras). They do it because they don’t want you to be distracted from the different camp activities. They also don’t want your electronic devices to get lost or broken. Also, most camps have a office phone so that if an emergency occurs someone can still let you know without you needing to be worried about your own cell phone.
I understand that some camps, maybe even the one you go to (if you go to a summer camp), may allow cell phones but others don’t and I think that GANZ was trying to, like the summer camp I go to, prevent anyone from taking something like a cell phone or iPod and then get all upset that it was broken or lost (if it did).

Mine too! Last year, my mum wanted me to bring a cell phone to camp cause I didn’t know anyone. But this one I can’t bring it, and my friend and my brother will be there. So if you go to a camp with no one that you know, bring a phone ONLY to talk to parents. If you know a few people, don’t bring one. Camp is to have fun without electronics!!
Woah, that’s gonna be a big bag to carry it all in. lol
-Always :-)
dude, you are at camp, NOT the mall.
@Love Staffordshires:
Yeah, it’s called a duffel bag. This is in fact, the necessesities for camp. If you had ever gone to one, you SHOULD know. Stop riding GANZ’s tail.
Actually, you would not need a cell phone ’cause you could talk to a counselor. If there is no one around, then ask your friends, or someone around you. And it IS a good idea to take special needs with you incase you get hurt, or sick. ~IceWolf* = )
She missed sunscrean didn’t she?
No she didn’t. If anyone wants to be my friend I am trying to get to 125 friends before the end of July. My username is 10POINT (All caps.) Thanks,Bye 10POINT
No one brings expensive things to camp,.Those items might get stolen,lost,misplaced,et cetera.
Besides,camp is for having fun,not texting the whole day!
