Please remember that camp life is simple

        and space is minimal

Stuffed animals are welcome at camp!

Clothing, basic toiletries and a few specific personal items are all that is necessary. A lot of additional "stuff" becomes a burden to its owner and to others in the cabin. Everything brought to camp should have the camper’s name on it. Clothing should be casual, durable, suited to layering for temperature variations, and comfortable. Securely fitting shoes are best for camp. Campers are discouraged from lending and/or borrowing others' clothing. The camp has extra clothes to lend to campers if necessary.

Personal Equipment

Please leave them at home.  Thank you.

Valuable personal belongings, such as cameras, jewelry, sports equipment, special books, etc. should not be brought to camp. Electronic devices such as iPods, PSPs, Gameboys, and the like are NOT allowed at camp. The camp and staff are not responsible for the care and oversight of camper belongings. All items should be marked with the camper’s full name.

Weapons, Tobacco, Marijuana & Unmarked Drugs are not permitted at Bishopswood and possession of any of the above on or in the belongings of any camper will result in the camper being sent home immediately.

Things NOT Welcome at Camp Bishopswood

• Electrical Appliances: e.g. hair dryers, curling irons, hair straighteners, radios,
  portable music players, hand held computer games, etc.
• Money. None is needed. Shirts and photos are available only when parents are present.
  There is no camp store at Bishopswood, thus no need for campers to have money.
• Food Stuffs. Candy. gum, chips, soda, baked goods and other things well-meaning relatives might send will invite insects and rodents into the cabin!
• Pets. We have several resident pets at Bishopswood. Campers may not bring pets to camp, but may enjoy having them visit. When pets visit camp, it is best to keep them leashed/confined. We suggest dogs be walked well off the driveway and paths. Otherwise, owners are responsible for clean up. Thanks for your cooperation with this.
  

Surprises campers would enjoy receiving while at camp

• Small, quiet games, puzzle/brain teaser books, magazines, photos, letters, pens & pencils, stickers, stamps, t-shirt, barrettes, socks, etc.
• Packages that are small enough to fit in our mailbox are very much appreciated.
