YW Leaders not staying in a YW youth cabin:  we will be in an offsite cabin location.  Separate details will be provided on what to bring.  

Packing List

Things to Note:

  • Leave your cell phones, iPods, iPads, speakers, video games, and all other electronic devices at home. Your camp leaders will have cell phones in case of emergency, and photographers/videographers will capture the magic!

  • Modest clothing, shirts must cover the stomach and shorts be appropriate length​​

  • Closed toe shoes must be worn at camp during activities

  • Don't forget a camp chair!!!

​​

Recommended Clothing Treatment:

As part of getting ready, we want to make sure everyone is comfortable outdoors and protected from ticks and mosquitoes. A little preparation ahead of time will go a long way.

 

We recommend treating clothing and gear with permethrin a few days before the event so it has time to dry and fully bond with the fabric.  Once applied, it typically lasts:

  • Up to 6 weeks, or

  • About 6 washings

​

Timing

Please plan to take care of clothing treatment several days before YW Camp so everything has time to dry properly. This is important for it to work effectively.
