Pine Cove: Packing for Camp

Ranch 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.

  • T-shirts: 8 Loose fitting, tank tops must have straps three fingers wide and cover all undergarments
  • Shorts: 5 At least a 3.5" inseam
  • Underwear: 10

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!
