Do campers bring lunch?
Yes, please make sure campers bring a packed lunch for every day of camp. It can be a lunch bag/box or a disposable bag. Campers should also bring a water bottle each day. It is helpful to have a bag or light backpack.

What should campers wear?
Campers should wear clothing that allows for activity; we have game time every day, including the first day of camp. Closed-toed shoes that do not slip on a gym floor are a must for every day of camp, right from the start. Campers will know if they need special clothing for a service site or activity after the first day. As a rule, though, gym shoes and clothes for activities are a must.
