What to Bring

Here are some tips about what to bring and what not to bring to Eaton Rapids Camp.   

 

 

What to Bring 

  • A completed Emergency/Health Form, and  a signed Youth Covenant. You will be required to fill out a registration form if we do not have one on file.
     
  • Money- In addition to your registration fee, your dorm fee (for those staying in the dorms) and meal fee (for those planning on eating in the cafeteria), plan on bringing a little spending money. The snack shop has ice cream, candy, snacks and beverages available. When we go off campus you also might want to purchase a snack. $30 should be plenty
     
  • Medications- these will be administered by the nurse and kept at the Nurse’s cottage.
     
  • Clothes- mostly casual, but a few nice items for Tabernacle on Sunday; one change of work clothes for our work project; appropriate swim wear; a jacket and/or rainwear; at least one sweatshirt or sweater. Remember, you must wear footwear at all times. We walk everywhere; will be at a work site and in the woods, so a pair of tennis shoe is advisable. Please make sure you read the dress code in our Youth Guidelines, this should help you pack!
     
  • Bedding- if you are staying in the dorms. Please bring either a sleeping bag, with an extra sheet, or twin sheets and blankets along with your pillow. There is no air conditioning or heat.
     
  • Personal towels, washcloths and a beach towel.
     
  • Person items and toilet articles
     
  • Bible, paper, pens and/or pencils
     
  • Musical instrument
     
  • Things you might need for the Talent Show.


*Please note, there are not laundry facilities available on the campgrounds
