This list is not absolute. Your child may require more or less that our list suggests.

We provide laundry bags.

Laundry will be done once per week and as needed – plan accordingly.

CAMP IS A GOOD PLACE TO WEAR OUT OLD CLOTHES Please do not bring new clothes or valuables to camp.

OUR LAUNDRY DOES NOT DO FINE WASHABLES Please instruct your child to hand wash any expensive, fine washable clothing.

Thanks for your help in preventing a problem.

MARK EVERYTHING YOU WANT BACK Mark ALL articles brought to camp with the name of the camper. We have found the

“sharpie” indelible permanent marker to be the easiest, most efficient method to mark items

Foot lockers, small trunks or 122 quart/115 liter Rubbermaid-type containers w/lid are best – maximum height 16”. These
may be purchased at Target or Wal-mart. Avoid large steamer trunks.

Electronics: iPods (or similar) and stereos are allowed. Cell phones (except limited use by Pioneers), televisions, game boys, pagers and computer are NOT allowed. Please leave these at home.

Circle F is not responsible for loss of personal articles or clothing.
