Packing for Camp

We provide a full list of recommended items to pack for camp. The suggested packing list is to be used as a guide only and is based on the needs of a one-week rotation of clothing—please use your own judgment when packing. We strongly suggest that all clothing and equipment being brought to Camp should be clearly labeled with your child’s name. This will assist us in returning any lost articles promptly. You can either use indelible ink or name labels.

Please note that Camp Kesher cannot be responsible for lost or damaged items.
