CAMP PREPARATION & TRAVEL GUIDE

Getting Ready For Camp

In choosing your camper’s clothing, keep in mind that because he or she will be involved in energetic activities daily, comfort and freedom of movement are most important. Laundry service is available on an as-needed basis for all 14 day campers. However, campers are advised to bring a 14 day supply of clothing for all 14 day sessions and an 8–day supply of clothing for all 7-day sessions. Don’t forget to label all of your belongings to make finding missing items even easier for your camper!

MAKE PACKING EASY

For your convenience, Camp OTX offers a range of packages to help get your camper packed for camp. These options range from Bathroom Basics to Theme Night Accessories to The Whole Enchilada!
