Getting Ready for Summer Camp

6/8/2015

Am I worried?  Yup.  I've never been to summer camp!  This is going to be six nights, 80-miles from home, and we can't take our cell phones.  If something happens, how can I call home?


I have to pack an entire week's worth of stuff into one footlocker, I'm wondering if everything I need is going to fit in there, or will I just have to live without stuff I think I need?


My mom got me a cot, and a bug net, since Camp Hohn is buggy and the tents are on platforms, so sleeping on the ground in a tent won't work since the tents themselves are open-flap tents, so bugs will be in and out all the time.  I'm not a fan of bugs.


Now I need to put together my list of gear to take with me.  So far I have:
  • Cot
  • Bug pop-up
  • Clothes
  • Boots
  • Swimsuit
  • Towel
  • Water Bottle
  • Knife
  • Mess Kit
  • Socks
  • Flip-flops
  • Soap
  • Beef Jerky (don't know how the food will be, so need to have some just in case)
  • Sleeping bag
  • Pillow
  • Sleeping mat (for on the cot, it's really hard)
  • Chair
  • Handbook

Any ideas of other things I may need?

    I'm Hunter W, and I'm a boy scout in Troop 706, in Columbia, Missouri.  I'm on a mission to become an Eagle Scout and to sell lots of popcorn!
