Answer 1

Hey I'm in the same boat you are! I'm going to camp for the first time as well! And the same amount of time.

So I'll make this as organized as I can.

Packing-

                 When packing you probably want to find the list of recommended items on your camp's website. Most camps have one. Once you get that, you want to decide what stuff you want to buy (travel size shampoo, deorderent, ect.). You also may want to make a second list and add the stuff you want to take that's not on the list (books, deck of cards, ect.). These come in handy for the time you may get on a rainy day or something. After you've got your official list, get the clothes you want to take (I would suggest old clothes, some clothes may not be as clean as they were, or  not come home at all!) and lable the tag with you first and last name. Then you just pt everything in your bag.

Cute tip: If your a girl and your taking a trunk, try decorating your trunk really cute! I did this and I love it! I put my name on the top of my trunk and its so cute!

Advise-

                Try keeping your bunk\cabin\room as clean as possible, this will come in handy when packing up to go home. It avoids not being able to find anything.

As for making friends....just be yourself and maybe instead of waiting for someone else to say hey, try having the courage for you to say it first. That way friends will come maybe not that  much earsier but a whole lot faster!

HAVE AN AWESOME TIME AT CAMP!!!!!
