Camp is a week of fun so you will want to be fully prepared for the week ahead. As beautiful as the weather can be in Northern BC, it can also be somewhat unpredictable so here are some things we suggest you bring and don't bring to camp.

The whole idea of summer camp is (or ought to be) to escape some of those things and have fun. Packing for summer camp: notes clothes should be comfortable, yet able to withstand the rigours of camp life. Swimming gear, shorts and T-shirts are staples and should be modest, but be sure to pack a long pair of jeans or pants as well. Remember, temperatures can vary! Campers will also need leg protection for games. Remember to send more than one pair of shoes.

***If your child takes medication, send the medicine in its original bottle along with dosage instructions for the nursing staff.
