WHAT TO BRING

• A tote bag/book bag. This bag should have a drawstring or other means of closing securely and be large enough to hold personal belongings such as a swimsuit, towel, lunch, etc.  A waterproof bag is recommended.
  
• Bathing suit and towel every day!  We do not provide towels at Camp Vinson Valley.
  
• Sack lunch and drink(s). We recommend you pack two drinks (fruit drinks are recommended over sodas).  It is recommended also that you pack your child a small snack along with the lunch for consumption later in the day.  There is  no refrigeration at Camp Vinson Valley, so please, no mayonnaise.  You may prefer to send your child's lunch in a small cooler.  Please no "heat up" meals.
  
• Bug repellent.  Lotion repellent is recommended over spray cans.
  
• Sun Screen.  Waterproof sunscreen with a SPF of at least 35 is strongly recommended.
• Fragrance-free deodorant.  Other campers have allergies, and in a camp environment, insects are attracted to scented products.

NOTE:  Please put your child's name on all belongings.  A "lost and found" box is in the camp office for parents to check each day.

WHAT NOT TO BRING

• Game boys or other electronic games
• Jewelry and money
• Flip-flops or Crocs are not allowed.  Your child should wear either sneakers or enclosed hiking sandals.
•
