Here is what every camper needs to be prepared with for camp in the morning:

• Campers should be dressed in comfortable “play” clothes.
• Campers should bring the following items to camp daily:
  •   Two bathing suits - Camp prefers campers to wear one suit to camp in the morning and pack the other in their backpack.
  • Pool shoes - Gate Hill recommends a brand of shoe called, “Crocs”. These are particularly good at staying on our camper’s feet, simple to take on and off, and can be easily cleaned.
  • Sunscreen - please apply the first coating before your child leaves for camp in the morning. Your child’s counselors will ensure reapplications of sunscreen are made throughout the day.
  • Sweatshirt/rain coat if the weather forecast calls for it. Remember we are on the side of a mountain, so sometimes it is slightly cooler here at camp. 
• Please be sure to label all clothing and items sent to camp with your campers first and last name.
• Please also be sure to keep a zip lock/plastic bag in your campers backpack for wet bathing suits.

GHDC provides all sports equipment for your child, as well as a daily towel service for swim.

Every bus has a bag of activities for campers to enjoy during their bus ride. We encourage parents to keep valuable and/or breakable items at home, such as Gameboy or ipod.
