Not sure what to bring to camp? Never fear, our handy dandy Ultimate Camp Kurios packing list is here! We’ve been in the summer camp game for nearly 40 years and we have perfected our recommended list, so if you bring these things, you will be set.


Pro Tip: Make sure EVERYTHING your camper brings is labeled with their name in permanent marker. Things tend to get mixed up in the cabin and clothes left in the bathroom, etc. You’d be surprised how soon your camper forgets what belongs to them. Label it ALL!
