Please drop the luggage off in the designated area. We will have committed volunteers and our Youth Board members that will be helping to guide this process. All luggage must be labeled with Campers name and phone number. Please be aware that random bag checks will be carried out before luggage is loaded onto the bus. \nLUNCH: Please pack a snack AND lunch (both seeds and nut-free)\, and a drink as it is a 3-hour drive. While we will take a quick break at a rest area\, in the interest of saving time\, we will want Campers outside at the rest area (McDonald’s and Dairy Queen) as much as possible vs indoors. A sack lunch is required for this stop\, we will not be buying lunch at the rest area. This will be a short stop. We have several severe allergies to seeds and nuts this year\, please do not send anything with your child that contains nuts or seeds (sesame/hemp\, pumpkin seeds\, etc). \nMEDICAL INFO: Please drop-off medicines for your child/children at our check-in table with the volunteer collecting medications. Medications need to be in their original container\, clearly labeled\, and placed in a Ziploc bag with the child’s name\, a reason to use them along with instructions. Please do the same for any non-prescription medicine your child needs as well. \nMedicines used only as needed like INHALERS /NEBULIZERS\, EPIPEN should be sent as well if they have known allergies to FOOD / BEE STINGS. Please make sure that the nebulizers and inhalers are in perfect working condition. We will not have time for filling prescriptions for your children at camp. We are requiring Campers & volunteers to report all allergies including seasonal since many of the symptoms are overlapping with COVID 19 symptoms. Our Camp doctors will treat all allergies appropriately. Considering overlapping symptoms\, it’s important to know prior medical history even for small things so the camp doctors are aware. \nList of items for Camp: Things to bring to camp\, preferably in medium-size baggage (no large suitcases)\, clearly labeled: (FYI: it is cold in the morning and at night\, do pack warm clothes and it usually gets very warm in the afternoon). \n\nWARM JACKET and/or HEAVY SWEATSHIRTS; Thin Raincoat as well\nOne Indian outfit – REQUIRED FOR GARBA NIGHT\nOne set of “Tropical” themed clothes-Examples: Hawaiian shirts\, sun dresses\, and flowy tops/pants. \nOne set of old clothes for the Holi workshop.\nAthletic clothing for sports\nUnderclothes & socks (several extra pairs)\nFlip flops/sandals/summer shoes and Two pairs of walking/comfortable athletic shoes (we will be playing sports)\nShowers have curtains\, if you prefer bring a swimsuit for bathing (we are not going swimming)\nFort Worden provides one towel per Camper.
