What items shouldnt a child bring to camp?
Most of these you would expect to be common sense, but lets review them anyway: Candy: Although the parents often wish the child to share with others as they make new friends, it often causes hurt feelings. Also, children tend to eat it all at once and then not eat their meals. Gum. Your child may choke on it while participating in a sports activity. Radios, walkmans, cell phones portable t.v.s: These items will cause disruptions and distract from camp activities, keep other campers awake, could be lost or broken. Any pocketknife, matches, lighters, unless specifically reqested. Absolutely no cigarettes. For obvious reasons. It is standard practice at any reputable camp to confiscate any contraband items until the end of the camp session for the safety and well-being of all campers.
