GEAR

CLOTHING & PERSONAL ITEMS

Clothing:
- Everyone packs a little differently, but for this time of year, layers are key. - Bring something warm, something light, a sweatshirt or light fleece jacket, long pants, short sleeves, extra socks.
- We want you to be comfortable!
- Here's what we tell the kids to pack for Fall Camping trips: long pants/jeans, t-shirts, at least one pair of shorts, underwear/bras, socks (+1 for extra), sweatshirt, extra pair of shoes.

The Gamble (aka "What will the weather do this week?"):
- Warm hat
- Gloves/mittens/scarf
- Wool socks
- Sunhat
- Bathing suit
- Personal mini-fan
- Because October in Maryland

Footwear:
- Comfortable walking shoes
- Extra pair of shoes (hiking boots if you plan on exploring, or another comfortable pair for around the campsite)... we're not Broad Creek, crocs are fine! Lol.

Toiletries:
- Towel
- Toothbrush/Toothpaste
- Shampoo/Conditioner
- Soap or Body Wash
- Deodorant
- Brush or Comb
- Baby wipes (also optional but so useful)
- Any other personal hygiene items

Other Stuff:
- Headlamp
- Sunscreen
- Bugspray
- Tylenol/Ibuprofen

Don't Forget:
- Extra socks!

Wedding Attire:
Dressy casual is a good bet! Think comfortable but presentable. Honestly, we have no idea what to wear to a "camp wedding," so we're not going to judge if you show up in your crocs and a nice dress.

Cabins:
- Fitted sheet/blankets OR Sleeping bag
- Pillow
- Camp pad (optional, but I tend to err on the side of comfort)
- Space heater AND/OR Fan
- Extension cord
- Ear plugs? (I'm semi-joking, but honestly, after camping with Scouters for 10+ years, I'm totally not.)

Tents & Hammocks:
- Tent & Tarp/Footprint
- Hammock/Underquilt
- Rainfly
- Camp pad
- Cot (totally optional)
- Lantern or light of some kind

Don't Forget:
- Reuseable water bottle
- Poncho OR rain gear
- Camp chair

Things You Don't Need:
- Mess Kit
- To stress too much; there's always a Walmart/Target or grocery store somewhere local (even if you sometimes have to cross a ferry to get there...)
