Packing List
Whether it’s excitedly started well ahead of time, or printed at the last minute, packing is one of those essential steps of preparation ahead of your camper’s session!
Please take a look at our resources as you get ready to join us!

We will share our 2025 Parent Handbook here as soon as it is updated and ready. In the meantime, feel free to read over our 2024 Parent Handbook. For those of you booking physical appointments, use this medical exam form.
Before You Pack
Before you start to pack, be sure to check out our online clothing and spirit store! Once again, we are asking each camper to purchase a green TC shirt (listed as “banquet shirt” on our store website) for our final banquet meal of each session.
