I work at a day camp so my packing list is a little different from you guys

I always make sure to pack tons of sunscreen, a water bottle, an extra pen or pencil because lets face it the pens they have at camp NEVER have enough ink, a bathing suit, fresh extra pair of socks, a water proof watch, extra camp shirt and of course my farmers hat which keeps the sun off my face and neck, and sunglasses. Sometimes, if I am working as a bus counselor, I'll bring a speaker for my phone so I can play music for the kids because the bus radio almost never works.

This year, however, I plan to bring stickers for the kids as a reward for something good or awesome that they do like help one another or learn/try something new

What I dont pack; anything made of paper because some how some where during the day it gets wet (and I never remember even going near water with it when it does get wet), and food (always gets warm)


Most days, I cannot tell you what the date is but I can tell you how many days until camp starts!!
