Packing List

Backpacking Trips

All campers will be given the option (weather dependent) to go on an overnight camping trip at our onsite canyon campsites. Campers are outfitted with framed backpacks, sleeping pads, and backpacking tarp shelters.

If you will be participating in any horseback riding activity:

• Jeans
• Required: Western boots or sturdy shoes with a defined heel are required. (campers are welcome to use boots from the camp boot library)

*Two-Week Campers—please remember to bring enough clothes to last 13 days.
**CITs attending more than two weeks will have the opportunity to wash clothing after their first two weeks at camp.
For ideas on where to find appropriate items, or with any questions, please contact us at 303.647.2313 or at [email protected].

Packing pointers

• Send old clothing to camp as your child will be camping out, participating in rugged sports, climbing and hiking through the woods.
• Label all of your children’s belongings; first initial and last name works well.
• Please review with your child the things you are sending with him/her so he/she knows what clothing and personal items are his/hers.
• Luggage should be compact and easy to carry uphill. Please do not bring expensive luggage!
• Swimwear should be packed at the top of the camper’s luggage because campers will be checked for their swimming ability shortly after arrival at camp.

Leave It At Home

Camp is a natural setting to unplug from electronics and to get more in touch with people. The items that are listed below (or other items deemed dangerous or inappropriate) will be confiscated until the end of the session.

*Canned repellent is not allowed at camp. Insect repellent must be in the form of lotion, wipes, or non-aerosol bottles. Aerosol cans become a safety hazard around other children and around the campfire.
