Packing List for Camp Chihopi

This is a suggested list of clothing and supplies for camp. Please do not feel that you have to purchase any of the items on this list. It would also be helpful to mark each item with your child’s name or initials. Feel free to improvise and substitute, but please pack the basics! Please send old towels since they are frequently left behind. Old play clothes and comfortable shoes are the best.

Your child should NOT bring iPads, cell phones, or electronic games to camp. These valuable items may be misplaced or lost. (Also, there won’t be any time to use them!) It is not necessary to bring money to camp since the facility does not have a camp store. Snacks will be provided several times a day.
