I want to look like an ALCer
Some packing tips from ALC parents and campers:
Buy stamps & print address labels for family and friends. Pack all envelopes in a ziplock bag to keep them from sealing due to moisture or get the self-seal kind.
Remember to share ALC’s No Package Policy with your family and friends - encourage them to write letters to your camper rather than sending packages that will not be allowed.
Headlamps make reading in bed easier.
ORDER ALC GEAR FROM MAINE CAMP OUTFITTERS
Friendship bracelets are a BIG thing at ALC (for all ages) and most campers like to arrive with a supply of embroidery string to create these fun camp mementos.
Send a few photos of family and friends.
Pack a couple of push pins for her to tack these images up in her tent. It is how ALC campers decorate/personalize their spaces.
Crazy Creek chairs, Crocs, cards or small games, mesh hanging baskets and extra polaroid film are all good things to bring!
Remember it is super helpful to make detailed notes on the packing list and tape it to the lid of your camper's trunk
so we know exactly what she brings to camp.
Fun pajamas are awesome: some after dinner activities are in “evening attire” meaning the campers and counselors will wear their pajamas for the activity.
