What to Pack

Here's our recommended packing list for the One-Week Session. Don't stress over it. Campers have brought more and less than this and still had an incredible week. Pack what makes sense for your camper.

Know before you pack

Trunks: 15 inches max.

We suggest a trunk that slides under the bunk. It keeps your camper's space neat, and anything taller than 15 inches may not fit.

Shower shoes are required.

Shower houses are separate from the cabins.

Tennis shoes for some activities.

Required for Horseback and Field Sports, and recommended for everything else.

Swimsuits: no two-pieces.

Please pack a one-piece swimsuit.

There's no laundry.

Pack enough for the full session. Two-Week campers, that means enough clothes for the whole stay.

Phones stay home.

Along with iPads, smart watches, and all cameras. Campers can't keep them during the session.

Leave at home

  • Phones and screens.

    Phones, iPads and tablets, smart watches, and cameras of any kind, including digital cameras, stay home. Campers can't keep them during the session.

Taking the music activity? Your camper can bring an acoustic instrument. Brookhill Ranch isn't responsible for damage to instruments during the session.

Spending money

We recommend $70 to $100 per camper for a one-week session. The easiest way to pay at camp is a Brookhill Ranch gift card.
