Off to Camp

Next week I will send my son off to summer camp.  I know many send their children to bi-weekly or month long camps, but this is just a week long camp.  Summer camp is great, but since we live in a place just like camp he will not experience a lot of new things in the way of activities.  However, he will have the chance to meet other kids from other places.  We just pray other parents are sending good hearted, respectful individuals like we are sending.  I also pray he gets a couple of baths during the week.

I know many purchase lots of new clothing for camp as well as label everything it sight.  This week I am going thru the current wardrobe to make sure I send nothing of real value.  No way will I spend hard earned money on new clothes for camp.  My husband has even suggested we just burn whatever he brings back.  Those of you with boys totally understand. 

I haven't looked at the checklist of things to bring, but I'm sure we will make a trip to some discount store to load up on bug spray,sunscreen, deodorant, toothpaste, soap and shampoo before he departs.  Please submit any tips or hints on must have items.
