What you pack will really depend on what type of Camp you are placed on and what activities you will be engaging in. This is a list of what I packed when I was a camp counsellor at Camp Stonewall in Thompson, Connecticut.

CLOTHES-

We were given 3x camp t-shirts (Welcome Day T-Shirt, Colour Wars T-Shirt and then a t-shirt of your colour choice) when we arrived at camp and then had the option of ordering more. You didn't have to wear these shirts if you didn't want to but they were extremely comfortable and most people wore them every day!

Tops:

5x T-Shirts
2x Nicer shirts
1x Long sleeve shirt
1x Hoodie or zip up jumper
1x Cardigan
2x Casual dresses

Bottoms:

5-7x Pairs of sport shorts
1x 3/4 Active leggings
1x Track pants
1x Pair of jeans

Underwear/Swimwear:

7x Underwear
7x Short socks
2x Long socks
2x Bras
3x Sports bras
1x One Piece bathing piece
1x Bikini

Sleepwear/Protective Wear:

1x PJ Shorts
1x PJ Top
1x Cap
1x Pair of Sunglasses

SHOES-

1x Pair of Flip-flops/ thongs
1x Pair of Nice sandals
1x Pair of Joggers/sneakers

TOILETTES-

Toothbrush and toothpaste
Shampoo and conditioner
Soap
Facewash
Moisturizer
Vaseline or fatty ointment
Deodorant
Hairbrush
Contraceptive Pill
Painkillers
Band-aids
Sunscreen
Insect Repellent

Makeup:

No one really wore that much makeup at camp, just really light and basic. Usually, just a good BB cream that had SPF in it would be enough! I had my eyebrows and eyelashes tinted prior to camp and that meant I didn't really have to worry about doing much! You only really need a basic makeup kit if you want.
