So, my oldest is going to overnight camp for three weeks this summer. I never went to overnight camp. I don't feel like I missed anything; however I know lots of people who LOVED LOVED LOVED their overnight camp experience, and I hope M loves his.
So, now that I am the mom, I am in charge of gathering the items needed. I just assumed I would throw in some shorts, t-shirts, bathing suits and flip flops in a "bag" and be done. Needless to say, I was clueless.
Luckily this camp has a short required list. . . three camp shirts and two pairs of camp shorts. Reasonably priced. Not bad. Then the list of stuff, and the quantities. . . . . shorts, shirts, flip flops. And then the flash light (oh - he needs one), and a shower caddy (oh yeah that too). And shampoo, and toothbrushes, and tooth paste, and PJ's. . . . and a stadium seat without metal arms (huh?). And three small plastic containers to store "small items."
And stationary, and pre-addressed, pre-stamped envelopes.
And some baseball caps
and some swim goggles
and a laundry bag;
and a pillow, sheets and camp comforter.
None of these things are impossible. But, now I am busy gathering them (and a bag or two), and then I will start labeling, in both sharpie marker and regular label. With the hope that lost items will find their way back to Mr. M BEFORE we leave camp on pick up day.
Wish me luck folks.
