What to bring to Camp
(for an overnight stay)


 

You'll want to be prepared for your time at camp. The following lists should be a good beginning. Feel free to add to the list, but remember that whatever you bring in to camp, you will usually have to carry into the site and back out again! That could be quite a haul!

Tents:

Plan on bringing your own tent. If you are at one of the Mecklenburg County Council camps, Clear Creek (click to see pictures of camp facilities) or Camp Grimes, some tents are available at their camps most of the year that you might be able to use. If you need a tent, contact the event leader. They can make the necessary arrangements,
