I saw the camp post re what to send that's not on the list for boys...can we do the same idea for girls?? I'm so overwhelmed this being my first time! How many duffle bags can each girl bring? What do the girls dress like on shabbos? Do I send a shabbos robe? During the week is it all long skirts? Or short skirts too? What type of pajamas do I pack? What extra chachkes do I need? Please post all your tips for girls!!

Send 1 large suitcase and 1 large duffel (both on wheels if possible).

The girls like to dress for shabbos. Send her shabbos clothes with instructions for her not to send out the clothes to the laundry service (it all gets washed and dried in machines). Or else send clothes that you don't mind running through the dryer. Or give her laundry detergent with instructions on how to hand wash in the sink.

Send a robe for after the meals on shabbos (and to be able to sit in the grass).

The girls like having a camp chair, clip on fan, sometimes a tutu for random dress ups.

Skirts are mostly long but you can throw in some comfy knee length ones too.

Pajamas vary based on what the girls like. Just don't send anything skimpy. A lot of girls wear leggings and fun short sleeve tees. Some wear nightshirts/nightgowns.

I'll post a full detailed list soon.

*Amounts are approximate. Send what feels right to you, just keep in mind that they need clothes for 1-2 weeks (laundry is collected once a week and returned a day or more later - also keep the 9 days in mind and then the turnaround time afterward until the laundry gets back). Panties and socks they really need 2 weeks worth.
