What do I need to pack?

This is a list of what you need to pack for a typical boys summer camp session.

Mom and Dad: Write your son's name on EVERYTHING. Not just clothes... put it on shoes, hats, towels, toothbrush, and anything he brings. Black "Sharpie" works the best, and will write on almost anything. Please don't use initials or symbols, first and last name is the most helpful.
