What to Bring to Mini Camp

You are here: Home / Mini Camp / What to Bring to Mini Camp

MC1The following is a suggested listing of items to pack for Mini Camp. A trunk is recommended over a soft duffle or suitcase. Tape this list inside the trunk lid. This is significantly modified from the term camp clothing and supply list as it is more appropriate for our mini week of camping with first-time campers. If you’re venturing out on an ambitious camping experience, like ones out in Iceland, perhaps this iceland campervan packing list might be of use but there’s also likely useful things on it that you might want to consider bringing on a mini camp too.

PLEASE do not bring valuables such as jewelry, electronic devices, etc. Camp Alleghany is in the mountains along a river. Items will get damp, if not wet. Daily temperatures are summer-like 80s, but the evenings can get as cool as 40 degrees. Pack accordingly. Labeling clothing is VERY important. There are no laundry services EXCEPT in emergencies.
