PACKING LIST

packing guidelines

Your camper is going to have a blast at camp! There are so many fun things for your camper to do, so there is no need for your camper to bring electronic devices or sports equipment. These items should remain at home. Another great idea while packing is to ask yourself, “Would my camper be allowed to bring this to school?” If the answer is no, then it’s probably not suitable for camp either. At the beginning of the week, we will ask the campers if they have packed any of these items. If they have, we will gather the items and store them in a safe place during the day. The items will be returned to them at the end of the day.

helpful tips:

  • Freestyle campers will have water activities every day except Friday. We recommend arriving in a swimsuit to cut down on changing time.

  • Bring a change of clothes! Your camper will be much more comfortable if they have dry clothes to change into after the game.

  • Pack a lunch; meals are not provided, so be sure to pack a school-safe lunch for your camper every day.

  • Write your camper’s name on their water bottle.

our goal

Our goal in developing a dress standard is to be both modest and practical. However, dress standards can often be a source of tension, especially among girl campers. In today’s society, the “less is more” mentality is displayed through low cut jeans and shorts, tight or revealing tops and short shorts. Please understand that Woodlands is committed to protecting the innocence of your camper while they are in our care. With this in mind, we will ask campers who are inappropriately dressed (wearing articles of clothing not consistent with Woodlands’ dress standard) to change. We appreciate your sensitivity to this subject matter, as it is our goal to create an impactful, unforgettable camp environment that is free from distractions.
