Packing list

for overnight camps

*Please refer to the bottom of this list for some additional items to pack for Winter Camp. 

  • Read this before you pack

    As you prepare to come, please remember cell phones and other digital distractions are not allowed at youth camps. If you bring a cell phone or electronic device, it will be confiscated and returned to you at the end of the camp week. We want campers to disconnect from their devices so they can learn how to stay connected to Jesus in every area of their life. Our no cell phone policy is one of the growth-producing aspects of camp and will help you develop independence and resilience.

    Please leave inappropriate clothing at home. This includes shirts with vulgar and profane messages, muscle shirts with extremely large arm openings, tops that expose bare midriffs, backsides or cleavage and bottoms that show off undergarments.
