2010 SEP SO CAL PACKING LIST FOR CAMPERS AND STAFF

updated 6/21/10

Below is a list of clothing suggested for camp this year. On a typical camp day, you will dress in jeans or shorts (see below for acceptable shorts length), a camp-issued SEP t-shirt, athletic socks, and tennis shoes. You will also need a jacket and/or sweatshirt for early mornings and nights that are cool.

We will provide 3 SEP T-shirts, and will launder them twice. SR Campers will be allowed to wear their own modest clothing to the SR Camp Dance on Wednesday night. Please see the guidelines below for what clothing is acceptable. There will be a camp store, so you may wish to bring a little spending money, but it is not required.

LUGGAGE

Please bring either 1 suitcase or 2 smaller duffle bags (2 smaller duffle bags actually fit under the beds better) Storage is limited.

In addition, every camper must have a backpack to carry each day to activities. Campers are responsible for carrying their swimsuits, towels, Bibles, notebooks, etc. and may not have time to go back to their dorms in between activities. (If you forget your bag we will be selling bags at registration.)

(TO discuss what we consider to be modest,

feel free to call us at 619-578-4245)

r (Plastic garbage bags for dirty clothes)

ATTENTION SR CAMP:

On Wed. night you will be allowed to wear your own shirts to the SR Camp Dance instead of the Camp T-Shirt. Clothing MUST be modest and pass the inspection of the dorm counselor.

Girls – Absolutely no shirts that are low cut or show your midriff. Put your clothing to the test: Stand in front of a mirror and lean forward. If you can see cleavage, the shirt is too low. Raise up your arms high. If your shirt comes up and shows off your midriff, then the shirt is too short. Don’t bother bringing it. If you do not bring an appropriate shirt, you will need to wear your camper shirt to the dance.

Suggestion: Bring tank tops to layer with.
