A Age-appropriate size and weight: can your daughter carry it to and from the camp site? Campers are required to carry their own luggage, so please limit baggage to one piece of luggage, a bedroll, and a small daypack. Suitcases on wheels are NOT recommended, as the wheels do not work on the gravel roadways. Rubbermaid or similar containers are very difficult to carry. B Bedroll: is it waterproof? There are many options to waterproof a bedroll: a tarp, shower curtain, dry-bag, stuff sac, etc. Garbage bags are not acceptable for a number of reasons: they tear easily, they are easily confused with real garbage bags, and they are not as easy to carry as the recommended methods C Content: are the items appropriate for her camp? Each camp has a kit list – all of the items are necessary and must accompany your daughter to camp. Please do not send any new, irreplaceable or expensive items. Camp is a great place for old and comfortable clothes! No food, chips, candy or gum. D During camp: can you daughter find her stuff when needed? Is her name on each item so any lost items can be returned to her?
