Thanks! |
Good food. 3 meals a day. (Maybe one snack, can't remember.) The kids eat their own snacks and buy from the canteen.

How much food is normal to send? I'm thinking of sending a box of cereal, a case of tradition soups,
a bunch of granola bars and around 30 snack bags. Makes sense? Any other ideas for filling healthyish snacks?

Sounds good. Maybe natural dried fruit leather. And 1 junky snack like individually wrapped Twizzlers. Make sure to buy 2 cases of water from the camp (they arrange it - you can't send).

Not really. Can fill up from the sink and there’s an ice machine but most kids are pretty picky about it. I think you’re better off ordering the water bottles from camp.

I'm definitely going to order the water bottles, but I can't imagine it will be enough with all the sports they play there

The kids fill up at meal times and they sometimes offer ices and ice drinks. Usually the kids have some leftover bottles from 2 cases after 4 weeks. You can reorder if he runs out. And there are ice cold machines with cans and bottles.

They're sports pants which are good for camp. And the tiros brand is Adidas which is a "thing" with the boys.

[quote="amother [ Daylily ]"]We use amazing savings duffel bags. Pack quilts, towels... in them. We pack in the 3 drawer rubbermaid one drawer underwear, one tzitzis and undershirts... one can be pants or toiletries. But yes I pack in them and I use painters tape to tape around it so it doesn’t open while traveling.[/quote
Amazing Savings where I live is out of these.
What size duffle bag are you talking about? I will need to order one quick.
Thanks!

The Amazing Savings duffel is 36".
I saw rolling duffels at Closeout Connections this year, you can try them.
