Essential for 3-10 day canoe trips (Boys 10-16 yrs.)

These are suggestions only for a 26 day stay. You may be guided by the fact that the laundry goes out once a week and returns in two or three days. It’s a good idea to make a copy of this list and place it on the underside of your child’s trunk lid to aid your son and his counsellor in keeping track of the items.
Miscellaneous Sports & Recreational Equipment
The Camp has an ample supply of equipment for most Camp activities. However, here is a list of items, which could be useful if a camper already owns them:
- paddle
- camera
- baseball glove
- mountain bike helmet (for 11 yrs. and older)
- swim fin & mask
- tennis racket
- tennis balls
- musical instrument – guitar, etc.
- archery bow
- reading material
- fishing tackle
Avoid sending expensive equipment to camp. Storage is in a tent and there are up to 200 campers at the camp at any one time.
All clothing and equipment must be marked with the campers’ name in a visible spot, either with cloth name tape or indelible ink.
You are able to order cloth labels from The Label Shop by downloading and printing their order form.
