Mini Camp Trunk List

The following is a suggested listing of items to pack for Mini Camp.
A trunk is recommended over a soft duffle or suitcase. Tape this list inside the trunk lid.
This is significantly modified from the regular camp clothing and supply list
as it is more appropriate for our mini week of camping with first-time campers.

Camp Alleghany is in the mountains along a river. Items will get damp, if not wet.

Daily temperatures are summer-like 80’s, but the evenings can get as cool as 40 degrees. Pack accordingly.

Labeling clothing is VERY important.

There are no laundry services EXCEPT in emergencies.
