General Camp information:

Personal medications:

All personal medications must be turned into a Uniformed Leader prior to departing on Saturday morning for Nantucket. The only exception to this rule is for Epi-pens and Rescue Inhalers. All other medications, including any over-the-counter medications must be turned into a designated uniformed leader. All personal Medications must be in the original pill container from the pharmacy and in a sealed baggie with detailed directions on when to take each medication.

Packing Lists:
 
These are the basic essentials you’ll need for our summer camp. Remember, space is limited so do not overpack. We can always hand-wash clothing if necessary. It’s summer time so you’ll be spending the week in gym shorts or a bathing suit and T-shirt. Pack your gear in two separate bags, one for clothing and personal gear and one with your sleeping/tenting gear. Two small bags will make packing the trailer more efficient. No trash bags. You can use a trash bag to waterproof your gear but the outer bag must be durable. Beg, borrow or find an old duffle bag or sports bag for your sleeping/tenting gear. Do not bring a backpack especially one with a frame. We just don’t have room to pack them. Do bring a daypack to carry on your bike (see below). No camp chairs are permitted except for adults with old weary bones. We just don’t have room. All gear will be packed on the trailer on Thursday night except your daypack which you will carry with you onto the ferry and onto your bike. Do not overpack your daypack. No electronic devices or games will be permitted in camp. This includes phones. Make sure you can comfortably carry it on your back on your bike.
