- Hat or cap for sun protection.
- Extra socks and sturdy shoes for outdoor activities.
Personal Care Items:
- Sunscreen with high SPF for sun protection.
- Insect repellent to ward off mosquitoes and bugs.
- Lip balm with SPF to prevent chapped lips.
- Any necessary medications with clear instructions for camp staff.
- Brush or comb for grooming.
Miscellaneous Items:
- Water bottle to stay hydrated throughout the day.
- Backpack or daypack to carry personal items during hikes or outings.
- Journal or notebook for jotting down experiences and reflections.
- Pocket money for souvenirs or additional snacks (if allowed).
- Snacks such as granola bars, trail mix, or fruit for between-meal hunger.

It's important to check with the camp organizers for any specific items they recommend bringing or any restrictions on certain items.

Additionally, labeling all belongings with the child's name can help prevent loss or confusion.
