What to Bring

Electronics/Equipment

Campers should leave expensive cameras, watches, jewelry, and electronic items at home. Disposable cameras are great for the camp environment. (We cannot have your film developed while you are at camp. You will need to wait until you get home to develop film.) Radios/CD players without headphones are permitted in the cabins where music can be listened to collectively. Camp cannot be responsible for lost or damaged items.

Absolutely NO digital cameras, cell phones, pagers, palm pilots, gameboys, personal music devices with headphones (iPods, walkmans, cd players with headsets) or other such electronics are permitted.

Our weather is generally very temperate with lows in the 50's and highs in the upper 80's. If you feel the need to send a fan, only battery-operated fans are permitted.

Some additional the items you may want to begin looking for are:

• Tennis racquet and can of unopened balls. These items are only necessary if your daughter will be taking tennis as one of her activities. The same applies for the 3 golf balls.
  
  
• A coated nylon poncho or raincoat. A necessity at camp. Thin plastic ponchos or raincoats will not survive the first rainstorm.

Horseback Riding

Hard-Soled Shoes for Riding

This should be a sturdy shoe, preferably a lace-up, that has a square heel and a smooth sole. Saddle oxfords, paddock boots, and cowboy boots are recommended. Sebago shores are not acceptable due to the fact that the heel is not squared off and hiking boots are not acceptable because the sole is not smooth. The heel must be such that the foot will catch on the riding stirrup, about 1/4 inch thick.

Riding Helmet

We provide riding helmets for all campers. Our helmets are ATSM and SEI certified. If you daughter would like to bring her own, please make sure that it has this certification. It must also have a chin strap, preferably a harness-type chinstrap.
