The camp is accommodating but please call them to make arrangements before your arrival.

• Book – Y Camp encourages reading, so bringing a great book to enjoy during down-time can help with summer learning and improving literacy.

• Water bottle- Keeping hydrated is a top priority! All campers are required to have a water bottle.

• Swim wear – For all those trips to the pool! Campers will stop at the pool at least once a day. Please be conscientious of the swim suits that are brought to camp. We ask that females wear one piece suits or tankini’s and refrain from bringing two piece suits. For Males please refrain from Speedo type suits.

• Towels – Always good to stay dry.

• Jeans/Long Pants – Your camper will need their legs covered to go horseback riding.

• Sunscreen – While camp has back-up bottles, you know your campers skin-care needs. Sending your own bottle is a good plan.

• Bug Spray – To deet or not to deet? Another personal choice, as chemicals like bug spray can irritate both mosquitoes and your camper’s skin. Send the spray you use at home. Camp has back-up spray that does not contain deet.

• Disposable Camera (Optional) – It’s a great way to remember camp and keep the memories with you!

• Multiple pair of shoes (Optional but recommended) – Camp can be dirty and it can be nice to have dry shoes to change into. (Please do not pack Flip-Flops, as they can be hazardous around camp.) Closed toe shoes will be required for horseback riding. 

Some items will be taken and stored safely until Check-Out. Other prohibited items will require a phone call to parents or result in the dismissal of a camper from camp. DO NOT BRING candy/food, electronics (handheld games, iPods, cell phones, etc.), cash, knives or other weapons, fireworks, alcohol/tobacco products or illegal substances, personal sports equipment, animals, flip flops or lighters.
