We have created a handy downloadable packing list so you can make sure you have everything you need for a fun-filled experience.
Packing Tips
Mark All Items With Full Name or First Initial, Last Name
Camp is busy! So we urge parents to mark EVERYTHING; socks, shoes, even toiletries. Many campers have the same initials and so last name is important. SHARPIES and sew-on labels work much better than stick-on for clothes and shoes. Stickers are great for toiletries.
Put Toiletries and Smaller Items in Ziploc Bags
Toothbrushes, combs, even socks and underwear, are better organized in small bags. Mark the bags with your camper’s name. Add a copy of the packing list to help your camper remember what he/she brought so it can make it back home.
Help Your Camper Pack
They will become familiar with all their items if they pack themselves.
Please Don’t Send Valuables
While we try our best to return properly labeled lost items, sometimes things get broken or are irretrievably lost. And while a lost toothbrush or pair of shorts can be replaced, some things can’t and we are not responsible for lost or damaged items. “If you would be sad to lose it, don’t bring it!” So leave all electronics (phones, tablets, gaming devices, etc) safely at home.
Old Clothes Work Best
Time at Rock Springs Ranch is spent mostly outdoors, wading in streams, hiking, riding horses, playing games or eating in the dining hall. So clothes have a good chance of bearing evidence of all the fun they had here. Please send items that can stand a good staining.
Cell Phones and Electronic Devices Are NOT Allowed
If any electronic devices are found they will be confiscated and returned at the end of the session.
