Hey there, fellow adventurers! So, you’ve got your eyes set on the packing list for Camp Tumbleweed and are feeling overwhelmed by the thought of spending a fortune at your local store. Instead of drowning your sorrows in that last glass of wine, let’s flip the script. What if you could trade in the chaos of packing for your child’s camp for a relaxing experience of your own at an adult camp? Sounds heavenly, right? Here’s a clever guide to help you pack smartly for your grown-up adventure.
Clothing
Let’s kick things off with clothing essentials. If you’re a fan of bikinis, bring them along! If not, baggy caftans are a comfortable and stylish alternative. Just remember to cover up those areas you don’t want to share with the bugs (chiggers, anyone?). And while we’re all for expressing yourself, let’s keep the logos to a minimum—no one wants a repeat of that Tory Burch incident from 2012.
Socks? Totally optional, but be aware that grown-up camp is not the place for tales of blisters. Keep it casual yet chic!
Footwear
While those cute flip-flops might be tempting to show off your pedicure, stubbed toes can lead to a frantic search for mismatched Crocs. Pro tip: those ugly shoes can serve as excellent shower footwear (athlete’s foot is real, folks).
Toiletries
Cleanliness is key, but leave the hair products at home. Embrace your natural look, whether it’s curly, straight, or a little sparse. Be aware that most scented soaps and gels are off-limits—check with camp management if you need a list of approved scents. Your electric toothbrush will have to stay behind, but if you have a doctor’s note, you can recharge your vibrator at the clinic.
Bedding
Your luxurious designer sheets might not fare well in the camp’s washing machine, so opt for something more practical. Although our platform tents keep you off the ground, bring a tarp just in case. It can be a makeshift rain poncho or a mattress protector in a pinch. And don’t forget to shake out those anti-dust-mite pillows daily!
Outdoor Essentials
While we encourage you to bring your favorite sunblock, keep in mind that we can’t be responsible for your pricey Crème de la Mer. And if you want to elevate your camp meals, a plant-identification handbook can be a great help—just steer clear of the mushrooms!
Entertainment
Leave the Apple Watch behind; there’s no Wi-Fi or Internet access (and really, that’s the point, isn’t it?). All editions of Cards Against Humanity are subject to counselor inspection, and feel free to bring premixed cocktails—just make sure to pack your own bar fruits!
Sundries
Devices are welcome, but remember that service stops at the river crossing. Fully charge your Kindle and bring backup batteries if you must. And keep your camp store funds in check; they can’t be borrowed or used for trading with fellow campers.
What Not to Bring
Please leave weapons of any kind at home, including Krazy Glue (trust us, Andrea is doing just fine). Pets are not allowed unless they’re service animals. Medications without prescriptions are also a no-go, though we might turn a blind eye if you share.
