I usually pack just the basic stuff. I do have to get bathroom stuff (rug, towels, tooth brush holder) for my cabin. Other than that, just basic bedding (sheets and bedspread), clothes for warm and cool weather. If there is anything special I need for a special event or theme day, I usually get that somewhere around camp.
I used to do a bunch of camp packing, planning, and shopping. Now... not so much. This year all I've done so far is order a few more pairs of uniform shorts and a pair of sneakers. I might head to Wal-Mart the night before I leave for camp to get some other basics (sun screen, bug spray, flashlight) but I might not even do that.
I don't pack an alarm clock anymore. Since I live in my own cabin, I don't need to hide my phone. I just use that as an alarm. I also don't pack paper, notebook, pens/pencils. If I need any of that kind of stuff, I just get it from the office. No point in packing it, if I can get it at camp.
