Camp is outside. As such, items taken to camp tend to get very, very
dirty. CJL recommends against bringing anything the pristine condition
of which you would like to preserve.
Portable radios, electronic games, and the like detract from the peace of the natural setting and, as such, are not recommended. Cell phones and most other electronics are not permitted.
The packing list is on a separate page so that it can be printed out easily for use in packing. It is for a two-week session during which the camper will use CJL's laundry service. Campers who are staying only one week or who opt out of the laundry service should adjust accordingly.
Please make sure everything is labeled with the camper's name!
Many campers find that sturdy tennis shoes do just fine. Some prefer boots. Those participating in horseback activities should have sturdy shoes or boots with sound heels about 1" high; specialized riding boots are not required. Many campers end up playing in the river at some point, so an old pair of tennis shoes might be in order.
The trunk should contain the bulk of the camper's stuff. However, bedding and anything the parents may want to help the camper set up in the tent should be packed separately in a tote bag, backpack, or laundry bag. Camp staff will see to the delivery of the trunk to the camper's tent, but that might take a while--there are lots of trunks to deliver.
The humidity at camp is high (it's outside in Georgia in the summer). Anything that might not react well to that (paper goods, in particular) should be packed in plastic bags or containers. Some find that packing each day's clothing in a big locking plastic bag is helpful, too.
