I didn't receive the list yet but I know she'll need 2 weeks worth of clothes (an extra week of clothes while a week's worth is at the laundry cleaning service). So I started to stock up on many tees and skirts.

I didnt. It’s my sons first year and I’m feeling so nervous and overwhelmed. Can any moms of boys chime in here? He’s going first half. What is he going to need? Please include any “cool” things that are not on the list but that others will bring.

Does the camp have a website?
All the forms and packing list are available on the camp website for my kids.

Unfortunately they don't send it until June! Shame.
But ask here. Plenty of us have our own lists ready and have been purchasing according to what we know the kids need.

Not the camps I'm familiar with.
Email the camp. Let them know that if they don't have it ready yet, you'd be hsppy for the one from last year to be sent to you in the meantime, just to give you a general idea.

terry robe for swimming
2 bathing suits
1 pair pool/shower slippers

a set of junk clothes

mommy3b2c - boys are way easier than girls!! There are so many things my teen girls take which are not on the list - extra ponytail holders, blow dryer to do their hair erev Shabbos, pads/tampons, lots of sweatshirts and cute pajamas (my boys will sleep in their undershirts and shorts), way too many pairs of shoes... Boys are more basic - just make sure they have linen/towels, clothing and nosh or canteen money. Toothbrush is optional!
Camp Bonim has a nice boys packing list on their website: https://www.campbonim.net/packing-list

Extra toothbrushes. If they drop it in the floor, no way they're using it again.
Shower shoes.
Baseball cap (for sun protection)
Shower tote
Small rug for next to bed

Oh, and however much underwear and socks you think they need, or however many it says they need, they need more.
Don't expect to see any of the socks ever again. Frankly, I didn't even WANT the socks back after a summer at camp.

You're assuming they're using it at all. Ds explained the night-before-Visiting-Day strategy of squeezing out a bunch of toothpaste and running water over the soap so they both look used.
We consider socks disposable. We pack enough to get through Visiting Day, and then bring up enough for the rest of the summer. And I've seen camping chairs in most camps, but in some they are more mandatory than others.

One of my kids asked me to bring up a Costco-sized package of toothbrushes to replace dropped ones, so I'm pretty sure at least he brushed.
And my kids all needed more soap and shampoo on visiting day, so I'm guessing they showered at least for Shabbat.
