sleeping bag and pillow should be able to fit in suitcase or duffle bag.

- Chap Stick, Blistex, etc.
- Sunscreen lotion

- Dark-colored T-shirt or Rash Guard for use in the pool – ALL STAFF AND KAMPERS ARE REQUIRED
TO WEAR A T-SHIRT OR RASH GUARD WHILE SWIMMING TO PREVENT SUNBURN IN THE
HIGH-ALTITUDE SUMMER SUN

For safety reasons, Kampers and staff cannot wear flip flops or sandals around
Kamp except to and from the shower or pool.

allowed to swim or enter the pool area without wearing a t-shirt or rash guard -
NO EXCEPTIONS.

- Flashlight
- Cameras are allowed but not cell phones for Kampers

We suggest that parents label all clothing, towels, sleeping bags, suitcases, etc.,
with Kamper's name. KING'S KAMP WILL NOT ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOST
ITEMS. (There is a "lost & found" table every day at Kamp.)
- Do NOT send/bring the following
- Money...there is nothing for Kamper to buy during Kamp.
- Snacks...either sent with Kamper or via the mail. Special snacks are provided for
the entire Kamp. Extra snacks or food in cabin draws mice, ants, and other unwanted
wild guests.
- Cell phones, smart watches, music players, video games, electronics of any kind
- Toys, matches/lighters, knives, slingshots, squirt-guns, water balloons etc.
