Campers need to bring all personal items they will need for the week, soccer gear (lots of socks, cleats, tennis shoes, shorts, sunscreen, bug spray, warm clothes for potential inclement weather, sleeping bag, towels, pillows, etc.).  They should leave all valuables at home.  There is no need to bring money or cell phones.  There is a phone at camp for all emergency needs. If your child needs to make a personal in-state or out-of-state long distance call, please have them bring a calling card. It is not necessary for your child to bring his/her own soccer ball.
