Packing List

What To Bring

Every Kamper should bring:

• Personal items
• A warm sleeping bag & pillow (Not just a slumber bag; nights can be cool)
• Personal toiletries -- Soap, shampoo, deodorant, toothbrush, toothpaste, comb and/or brush
• Each Kamper should bring 1 suitcase or duffle bag only. All items except the sleeping bag and pillow should be able to fit in suitcase or duffle bag.
• 2 towels (one for bathing, one for swimming)
• Chap Stick, Blistex, etc.
• Sunscreen lotion
• Clothing items
• 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
• Enough clean clothes for 6 days of Kamp.
• At least one pair of long pants or sweat pants (for the evenings)
• A sweater or sweatshirt
• A warm jacket (one that can get dirty)
• CLOSED TOED SHOES (tennis shoes, running shoes, etc.) suitable for play, optionally Kampers may bring a pair of flip flops/sandals for pool & showers. For safety reasons, Kampers and staff cannot wear flip flops or sandals around Kamp except to and from the shower or pool.
• Pajamas
• Swim suit – along with a dark colored t-shirt or rash guard. No one will be allowed to swim or enter the pool area without wearing a t-shirt or rash guard - NO EXCEPTIONS.
• Miscellaneous
• A Bible (Old and New Testaments -- New International Version preferred)
• Flashlight
• Cameras are allowed but not cell phones for Kampers
• Bag/Sack for dirty clothes (also a zip-lock bag for packing a wet bathing suit!). 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.
