Preferably with links

Do the girls need to bring ….
-Bed side Drawers

I’m not even sure what is needed I didn’t get the list yet.

What’s additional that’s not on the camp list that would make her feel extra comfortable. From bigger to smaller items. Please list!!

Anyone with a seventh grader and can help would be so appreciated.

Bedside drawers depends on camp.

What camp are you sending her to?

I'll reiterate what others have said.

This is very camp dependent. Please list camp.

I highly recommend you reach out to someone irl who went to guide you as well.

I recommend:

A lint roller is super useful in camp!

Photos to put by her bed w/tape

A hair iron (girls love to straighten/curl each other's hair erev shabbos Smile

And definately air freshener

Mini backpack or some small bag to use for when they take them on trips is a good idea

Bnoseinu is going into fifth and going into sixth. She's in 7th? All kids had a chair, most had drawers, they all had pictures on their wall of their family, and big plastic bin of nosh.

*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.

Dd said she wants wipes for next year, cleaning her shoes, small stains on clothing. She ended up taking some from friends.

What size drawers are people referring to? For underwear/socks or shirts, stuff?
Also, I'm trying to remember how I stayed hydrated as a kid in camp. My daughter is super picky about only drinking cold water. I explained that she will have to drink even without frozen water bottles. But do they fill up water bottles at the beginning of the day? Drinking stations around camp? What kind of water bottle should I send. I'm surprised it wasn't on her camp list.
