Most camps send out the "LIST" of the what to brings.
DD goes every year to the USAG Traning Camp.
What we have learned over the years she has been going is
Don't use a suitcase to pack instead use a large laundry basket and pack clothes ring on the hangers so when you get to camp everything just goes from the basket to the closet. When your done unpacking you have an empty laundry basket for the dirty clothes. DD will fold the dirty clothes in the basket so everything will fit back in.
For Clothing - She brings for 7 days 12 leo (they spend 90% of the time in them), 7 shorts, 7 t-shirts, 2 sweat pants and 2 warmer shirts, 2 bathing suites, 1 dress up outfit for the end of the week dance they have, One outfit in blue and one in red for the color wars competition (you don't know what color team you are on until you get there). 3 PJ's, 1 robe (she likes robes), 7 underware. 2 beach towels. 2 bath towels a face cloth, general hygine products. Rain gear (DD usually brings an umbrella)
Other Items she brings -
*Money - We give her $10 for each day ($70 total). This covers vending machine purchases, the camp trading post purchases, and they have 2 nights during the week for the older kids where they do latenight pizza that they have to pay for extra. The camp puts it in an envelope and the kids need to go and make a withdrawal from the envelope. It elimnates the problem with money being stolen.
*Day pack or backpack to bring the days snacks and needed items when practicing with you.
*Snacks. the vending machines are expensive for snacks so she brings a week worth of snacks. *Drink mix - you know the single serving sized ones you just put in a water bottle.
*A water bottle,
*She likes to read so she always brings a few books,
there is a theme to the week and there are prizes for the best theme room - so decorations are a must.
*A Fan - its HOT in the summer and most dorms don't have AC in our area.
*An extension cord.
*She doesn't bother with a hair dryer - she says why bother her hair is always up in a pony tail and when its hot the wet hair feels cool.
*Something she finds fun to do - like cards, board games, crafts etc.
*She always brings scissors, tape, glue, paper and markers - I don't know what they do with them but they always get used.
*her grips and all that gym stuff (tape, wrap etc)
* Lots of hair ties and scrunci
*copy of her floor music - during free gym if the floor is free they can work on their routines.
* Radio/CD player for her room so she can listen to music when in the dorms. The only TV allowed is the one already at the college in the common areas.
*sheets, blanket, pillow, stuffed animals
*Lysol spray - spray the beds down before they are made up who knows who used that bed last
*a box of handy wipes - you know the wipes in the sealed envelopes you get at a restaraunt sometimes. DD will use them to wipe the toilet seats down
All the Non clothing items are also packed up in a 2nd laundry basket. Usually the 2nd baskets hold most of the non clothing items. Both baskets are bungied to one of those luggage things with the wheels.
