Packing Tips
- Kids and clothes will get dirty. Please do not send new or expensive items to camp.
- Label everything with your child’s full name – this helps us return the item to your child if it becomes Lost & Found.
- Campers are limited to two pieces of luggage – we recommend a large duffel bag or backpack plus a sleeping bag in a stuff sack. Please do not tie any items together.
- No loose items (pillows, shoes, etc.) – these easily get lost and separated from other luggage.
- All of the paths at Sealth are dirt or gravel – rolling suitcases are not recommended.
- Kids should be able to carry their own luggage with minimal assistance.
- You will receive color-coded luggage tags at check-in. An additional label or luggage tag with your child’s name is helpful in case the colored tags get lost.
