Question

My parents want me to bring my phone to keep in touch. Should I do it?

Community Answer

The camp will most likely provide a phone. Some camps prohibit cell phones. Learn about the rules at your camp - if cell phones are allowed, you could bring it just in case.

Question

Can I go makeup-free while at camp?

Community Answer

Of course you can! Camping with makeup on is a hassle anyway, because you might be in situations where you get dirty, and it could end up getting smeared. Camp is about having fun adventures, you don't need to look like a supermodel.

What should I not bring to camp?

Becca

Community Answer

You don't want to bring anything valuable, anything that can easily get lost/stolen or anything that is illegal/not allowed. You should also leave breakables at home.

Question

I usually wake up a lot earlier than the wake-up time at camp and I think I will be bored in the morning when I wake up. Any tips?

Community Answer

You could read a book, play around on your phone if you can have it at your camp, make your bed, get your clothes ready, go outside for an early morning explore, etc. Offer to help with camp kitchen, it could be a good way to stay occupied and get some early breakfast.
