The following are general guidelines. Please check out the website of the camp that your child has been matched with on our Camp Partners Page or refer to emails that have been sent to you from each individual camp for a more specific packing list.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND:
- All medication must be in a clear zipped plastic bag, and in the original pharmacy containers with labels that shows the camper’s name and how the medication should be given. This applies to prescription and non-prescription, including vitamins and natural remedies. Provide enough of each medication to last the entire camp session.
- Sturdy, comfortable, old clothes are best for camp.
- There are no laundry facilities, so pack enough for the whole session.
- Prepare for cool weather and hot weather, you may have both.
- Swimsuits should be quick-drying, and modest—trunks for boys and one-piece for girls; pack two if you can.
- Mark all belongings with the camper’s name.
- Provide closed toe shoes.
- Nut free snacks may be packed.
DO NOT BRING:
- Cell phones. They will be confiscated and returned at the end of the session.
- Electronic games, radios, video games or computers
- Knives of any size
- Candy or food

OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION
- CANCELLATION – If your child is unable to attend camp, it is vitally important that you notify WCP at the earliest possible moment. This will allow another child to go to camp, as the session has already been paid for and no refunds are available.
- HEALTH FORMS – Each camp has forms that require health information about the camper. All camps require an up-to-date immunization record.
- SPENDING MONEY – Each family is responsible for providing their camper’s spending money, usually about $10 to $20. The campers do not keep cash at camp, it is deposited in their account at the camp store.
- SPECIAL ACTIVITY FEES – WCP does not pay for horseback riding, water skiing or other special activities at the camps which require an additional fee for such activities.
