Camp Supply List

Time is drawing near! Our first born leaves for camp in just a few short hours. I try not to think about it to much because my heart gets heavy. Its so hard letting them go even for just a week! I know he's going to have a fantastic time and I know God has something very special for him this year. No matter what happens we know God is in this trip and we know this is just the first of many steps preparing him to leave home.

The following is a list of supplies we pack for the week of camp. Each year we keep a list and when he returns we update the list and make any necessary changes. We use a large suitcase. When you help them pack it will be very well organized, but when it comes home, not so! Keep it large enough so they can get everything back in when its time to come home. Another thing that we do is put his name on all his supplies. After a kid took his shampoo one year we now mark everything so there is no confusion who it belongs too. We only have boys in our house so sorry girls! If you have girls, I would love for you to post your list!
