Towers 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!
At this age many parents (and campers!) find it helpful to put an entire day's outfit into a gallon ziplock bag labeled with the day. Same thing for theme night costumes. It makes it super clear for the camper what to wear when!
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.
