What to Bring

If you are spending the night at camp, there are some important things to keep in mind before you arrive.

Label all personal items with your first and last name (clothes, cameras, sleeping bags, etc.)
Do not bring medication into the dorms. All medication should be in its original container and be accompanied by a medication form signed by a physician. This medication should be turned into the school office or group leader.
Wash and dry in HIGH HEAT all items that can be washed before you come to camp. This includes sleeping bags and pillows.
Put your clothing and sleeping items into duffel bags or heavy duty garbage bags. Always pack extra garbage bags for the way home. Duffel bags, all clothing and sleeping items should be washed and dried in HIGH HEAT immediately when you return home from camp.
Do not bring food or drinks to camp unless told to do so by your group leader. There is no food or drinks allowed any where on site except for our cafeteria. A cup or water bottle is acceptable in the dorm room.
Be prepared for all types of weather. Boots, gloves and extra shoes are all nice items to have with you.
Electronic devices should stay at home. This does not include digital cameras. If you do bring any type of camera, make sure it is charged and well labeled.

Please print out our clothing and equipment checklist as a packing guide for all overnight stays at the Walled Lake Outdoor Education Center.
