Say aloha to the aliens as we merge extra tropical with extraterrestrial on this night of cosmic festivities!

Shores Packing List

Please pack all the camper's items in a trunk (like this one) or one large container. Luggage should be under 15 inches tall so it fits under the bunk bed. Many campers like to decorate their trunks!

Want to skip the packing hassle? Order an Essentials Kit! These kits come with over 20 branded items straight from this list - just add clothes and you're ready to go.

Sunday: Rodeo Clown Ruckus: A Wild West Adventure! Yeehaw, campers! Prepare to explore the spirit of the Wild West (of the Shores) as we dive into the colorful world of rodeo clowns! From pie-throwing contests to roping competitions, everyone will have a chance to embrace their inner cowboy or cowgirl... or clown! This night promises to be a rootin’-tootin’ good time for all as we celebrate the brave and funny heroes of the rodeo!

Monday: Where's Waldo? Get ready for a night of adventure and strategy on Monday night with a life-sized game of “Where’s Waldo?” Wear your best Waldo-inspired outfits complete with blue shorts, a red and white striped shirt, and then let the search begin! Your team will scatter to complete exciting challenges and find hidden “Waldos” along the way. At the end of the night, it’s all about who can truly answer the question… “Where’s (the real) Waldo?”

Tuesday: Espionage Sir, yes sir! Evade the evil Striker Force to reach the Secret Tower in this age-old Shores night game. Bring your camo, ghillie suits, and all things green!

Wednesday: Gnome, Chrome, Nursing Home Join us for a whimsical night at “Gnome, Chrome, Nursing Home,” a Shores dance party like no other! You get to choose! Do you want to show out in your hilarious garden gnome costume? Shine under the lights with your glittery silver chrome ‘fit? Or embrace the lively vibes of a nursing home?! Whether you’re decked out in gnome hats or sparkling accessories, this is the perfect chance to make memories that shine brighter than chrome!

Thursday: Dock Rock Did someone say "lake day"? Come ready for a luau-style party on the water. Beach volleyball, wake-boarding, and pizza! What could be better?

Friday: Game Shore Networks Leave the gym shorts and t-shirts in the cabin and put on your Sunday—oops, FRIDAY—best! Kick back, relax, and enjoy dinner and a show as your counselors bring the laughs from the stage.

Don’t Bring

  • Phones, Tablets, or Other Electronics
    Camp is the perfect opportunity for everyone—counselors and campers alike—to get a break from screens! Leaving electronic devices at home allows for campers to get a chance to spend time outdoors, build connections with friends, and experience undistracted moments. But don't worry—you'll be able to use the CampLife App to communicate!
  • Alcohol or Drugs
  • Tobacco / E-cigarettes / Vape Pens
  • Clothing with overtly political or sexual references or drug, alcohol, or tobacco promotion
  • Books / Magazines / eReaders
  • Shaving Cream
    You can bring it to shave, but don't bring it for pranks!
  • Fireworks
  • Gum

As a general rule, if you can’t bring it to school, you shouldn’t bring it to camp.

Packing

Packing meds can bring up a lot of questions, and there are some important state and local regulations we need to follow. We put all the info together into a handy-dandy guide to tell you everything you need to know, including prescription guidelines, leaving OTC meds at home, when meds are given out, and more.

Medication

How to Pack Meds

Questions? Find even more answers in our in-depth guide to medication.

All Meds to Nurse

State law mandates that all medication (prescription and OTC) is kept in the health center, so please do not pack meds in suitcases or trunks.

Original Containers

All prescription medications must be in their original containers with current dosage instructions. Pill bottles should only include the amount needed for the session—leave the rest at home! Creams, inhalers, or other boxed items must have a label on them.

Up-to-Date

All medication must be prescribed to the camper. Check the expiration date – all meds must be current!

Leave OTC meds & vitamins home

Save the space! We stock plenty of over-the-counter meds for occasional as needed use. If your camper takes a daily allergy med, please check it in at drop-off.
