We suggest older play clothes and clothes that you enjoy wearing. Please pack all clothes in a drawstring, duffel or laundry bag. Pack toiletries, swimsuits, towels and shoes in a small backpack or day bag.
Packing Tip
Summer and seasonal campers: please put your name on ALL items sent to camp!
The Essentials
When packing, please remember that camp can be harsh on non-durable clothing and that Ohio weather can be unpredictable. Active footwear is your best bet for walking on our trails, and we require closed-toe shoes for all climbing wall and challenge course activities.
We recommend packing warm clothes with a hat and gloves for outdoor comfort in the late fall, winter and early spring. In the drier, early fall and late spring months, most prefer t-shirts and shorts. A complete change of clothes every day is unnecessary.
- please avoid open-backed shoes; no flip-flops or slides
All bunks have comfy mattresses, but you must bring bedding.
Camp can get messy, and these will help you clean up!
