Packing for Camp

We have prepared a handy packing list for your use that can be downloaded at the bottom of this page. We have done our best to try to think of everything, but that being said, our list is just a suggestion so please use your discretion when preparing your child for their visit to camp.

Some considerations when packing for camp.

Sparrow Lake Camp is all about getting outdoors and enjoying the wonders of nature! As such, your child will need all types of clothing to be sure that they are prepared for the weather at camp.  We will be outside most of the day, so when packing please keep sun protection in mind.

Since we all share space in the bus luggage compartment and in the cabins, we ask that when packing you keep the size of your luggage in mind. As a general rule (with the exception of the very little ones) we ask that campers not bring more luggage than they are able to carry themselves in 2 trips.

We play lots of team games at camp. Your child will find it useful to have shirts of different colours. Typical colours that would be good to have are red, blue, green and yellow.

 LOST AND FOUND

Despite our best efforts, many items are left at camp at the end of every camp session. We would love for everything that was sent to camp to return home! Please make sure that all items are labeled! Often the little ones (and the big ones, for that matter!) won’t know what is theirs. If items are labeled properly our staff can make sure everything ends up with the right kid on the last day of camp! Please involve your child in packing so that they know what came with them to camp. Another tip may be to send a list of all items packed so that they can check their baggage at the end of camp.

If your child has lost any items please contact the camp during the summer months. If the camp is closed, please contact the registrar.

Any items that are left behind are kept in our Lost and Found until the Thanksgiving Holiday, at which time any item that is not claimed is donated to charity.
