CHECKLIST FOR A HAPPY CAMPER
www.campwalt.com
Are you planning to send your kids to summer
camp for the first time? You’re going to need a
checklist.
You need to know what to pack as well as how
to ease your child’s anxiety if there is any.
Assure your child that camp is an adventure
that will be lots of fun. He or she will be
meeting new friends and experiencing many
new things.
Go over the schedule of
activities and events.
Explain the items they are
unsure about.
Most children will need the following items in their backpack:
Emergency contact information
Sleeping bag and pillows (if they are
not provided by the camp)
Soap, shampoo, and other toiletry supplies
Towel, swim gear, and raincoat
Sunblock and bug protection spray
Flashlight
Medications and accompanying instructions
Casual clothing like T-shirts, shorts,
pants, undergarments, etc.
Sweatshirt and pajamas
Water bottle
Sunglasses and sun hat
Stationery or postcards
For a surprise, slip in a handwritten note with a family
photo, telling them to enjoy their fun adventure.
You could also pack some candies in their gear, which
they can share with their new friends at the camp.
Don’t forget to send them off with a big hug with lots of
excitement and hope. Your enthusiasm will rub off,
making them more eager to go to summer camp.
As they say, seeing is
believing. It‘s a good idea
to tour the camp.
Contact the camp
administrator about visiting
the camp with your child.
If you're considering
sending your child to an
overnight summer camp, be
sure to visit our site to learn
about Camp Walt Whitman.
Located in the White
Mountains of New Hampshire,
Camp Walt Whitman offers a
safe, nurturing environment in
a beautiful mountain setting.
Our camp is a coed
sleepaway camp, with
separate areas for boys and
girls. The kids have a blast,
and make friendships that can
last a lifetime.
