You’re at camp to have fun and be active, not to model your entire wardrobe, so bring clothes that are great for activities and don’t worry about looking like a fashion model. While you should be prepared, there is no need to pack excessive amounts of clothing.
Short pyjamas for hot weather Long pyjama pants in case it gets cold A dressing gown or onesie to wear over the top
Denim or athletic shorts. Soft shorts make for great swimsuit covers, and to sleep in since they’re comfortable and light. Some camps do not allow shorts, and if that is the case, bring some comfortable capris! If, for whatever reason, you cannot find capris, pick some longer pants and hem them to your desired length. Leggings/jogging pants, in case it is too cold for shorts. Jeans may not be acceptable for activities, but feel free to bring some for evenings/free time.
Walking boots or athletic sneakers for activities Sneakers such as converse or slip-ons for free time Flip-flops will come in useful for showers or the lake/pool Depending on activities, you may want a pair of dressier flats or sandals
Bring sunglasses and a hat for sun protection.
You probably won’t want to wear make-up, because you will probably be running around, but if you do you can bring a small amount: maybe just some concealer and lip balm. Also think about tampons or pads. Bring sunscreen for sun protection.
Books or magazines Tech products: camera, cell phone, chargers (most camps prohibit these, so they may be confiscated until the end of the week) Snacks such as candy, drinks and cereal bars (again, most camps don’t allow these as food attracts unwanted visitors, such as raccoons and ants)
