Packing for Summer Camp

Falcon Clothing and Equipment Checklist

Use this list as a guide when packing for overnight summer camp. Clothing should be simple and comfortable. Laundry is done once a week for campers staying 4 weeks or longer; it is done once for 2-week campers.

All clothing must be clearly labeled.
There is an option to label clothing enclosed in this mailing or choose your own. Falcon is not responsible for lost items. Attach this to the inside of a trunk or suitcase to assist you in checking items as you pack, and assist us in helping campers pack to return home. Please remember to label all tennis shoes, jackets and clothes. We make every effort to return campers home with everything they brought.
