Camp Merrie-Woode situated, Celebrated on Fairfield Lake, Sapphire, North Carolina, USA

What to Bring
June & Main Session | August Session | Also Useful | What Not To Bring

As you pack your daughter's trunk, please remember to mark everything with her name and list all personal items on a piece of paper attached to the inside of her trunk.

Campers wear their uniforms almost all the time; therefore, we discourage parents from sending their daughters to camp with nice new clothes. They will return "dingy" after many days of hard playing! Leave valuables at home and only send durable items.

As in the past, we welcome items for the costume room or the library, so bring along any costumes you've outgrown or books you've finished.

There is the tendency to bring additional items; however, we asked that you bring only what is listed below.
