What to Bring

Camping can be tough to plan for, especially for those who have never camped before. With how much you need to pack, it's not uncommon to forget basic necessities. To make things easier for you, we have compiled a basic list of things you should consider bringing. This is not a comprehensive list so please bring any supplies you think will be helpful.

Optionally, you may bring supplies that can be shared with the group such as games, eating utensils, food to share, marshmallow skewers, and more. We have had very generous people in the past who have cooked meals for the group, brought extra snacks and water, brought games to share, and more! It is worth noting here that you should not rely on others to feed you. It is extremely rude to leech off of other's kindness. Bring enough food and water for yourself.
