What to Bring

Campers! Please bring the following items to camp with you:

• Backpack: This will be helpful so our campers can carry all their camp supplies and fun projects they will be taking home to share with you.
• Sunscreen: Please apply sunscreen to your child everyday before camp.  They should bring the sunscreen to camp each day so that they can re-apply on those sunny hot July days.  
• Bathing suit, towel, & water shoes/sandals: You never know when we might break out the small swimming pools, sprinklers or Slip ‘n Slide on a hot summer day!
• Water bottle: We will be happy to refill all day long so our campers stay cool and hydrated.  
• Rumsey Summer Camp shirt: Each camper will be given a Rumsey Summer Camp shirt on their first day of camp. There will be special days throughout the week when everyone will wear these shirts.
