What to Bring to Montshire Camp

For Preschool Camp

1. Clothes for Exploring. Old clothes and sneakers are best. Please, no flip-flops or other shoes that do not stay securely on your child's feet.

2. Rain Gear (as the weather dictates). This includes raincoat and rain hat. No umbrellas. We do activities outside on rainy days. In the case of thunderstorms or other severe weather we will return to the building.

For all camps besides Preschool

1. Lunch and mid-morning snack. (If your child is staying for the Extended Care Option, please include an additional snack.) Lunch boxes should fit in a daypack. Please include a small bag for lunch trash, as we practice a carry in/carry out policy. A wet wipe is also helpful, as most sites do not have running water.

2. Small water bottle. We always have extra water at our campsites to refill. Upper Valley Adventures, Valley Trekkers, and Aquatic Investigations campers should bring a large water bottle.

3. Wear sneakers to camp and bring an additional pair of sport sandals, water shoes, or old sneakers to wade and swim in that stay securely on your child's feet. No flip-flops or crocs without a heel strap. Water shoes are required when swimming at the Montshire site.

4. Raincoat. No umbrellas please. Boots optional. We do activities outside in rainy weather. In the case of thunderstorms or other severe weather we will bring the children inside.

5. Daypack for the listed items. Please leave other items at home.

6. Camp clothes. Clothes your child can get dirty are the best.

7. Swimsuit and towel.

8. Bug repellent & sunscreen (optional). We always have extra sunscreen but do not provide bug repellent.
