The countdown to camp is on! We bet your child is ready for some fun in the sun and s’mores by the fire. But not so fast! Being away for a few weeks takes a lot of planning and prepping so before you load up the car, make sure they have everything they need with this summer camp checklist!
- Camper Forms: Prior to your child’s arrival at camp, you’ll need to create a camper profile and complete their medical forms. Schedule those doctor appointments now to ensure you’re all set as camp gets closer.
- Medications: If your child does require medication or has any medical concerns, it’s important to coordinate these logistics with the camp. Make sure you get the contact information of the nurse or medic on staff in the event of an emergency. It’s always better to be prepared!
- Schedule a Camp Trunk Pick-up: Most camps use baggage carriers, so remember to schedule your pick up ahead of time.
- Go Shopping: If your child is a return camper, see what items they have from last year and then reassess their shopping needs. Contact your camp for a suggested list of clothing to pack, and inquire about camp discounts from local retailers.
- Transportation Arrangements: Some camps offer transportation services for the kids. Whether it be a charter bus, or chaperoned flight, check with your camp on any services offered and schedule accommodations accordingly.
- Review the Basics: Since your child will be away from home for the summer, make sure they know how to take care of themselves and exhibit proper hygiene.
- Plan Your Visit: Now it’s time for you to plan your summer fun! Make arrangements for visiting day ahead of time to avoid overbooking at nearby hotels.
