Camp Royall Packing List
Packing Tips
- We suggest packing full outfits by day in a labeled gallon ZipLock bag (one back for Monday, Tuesday, etc.)
- LABEL ALL ITEMS. If items are not labeled, we cannot ensure your item will return home to you.
- We have a PDF packing list that you can fill out and include with belongings as a tool for end-of-program packing.
- Camp Royall is not responsible for lost, damaged, or broken items.
- Send only what your camper needs for their stay at camp.
- If accidents/messes are common, you may want to increase the number of relevant items.
- If obtaining all items on this packing list is a burden for your family, please contact us in the office and we will work to assist you (919-542-1033).
