What to Bring and NOT to Bring
Everything Camper is the official outfitter for all Horseshoe gear. All required logo’d items must be purchased through Everything Camper.
Please remember to label all clothing, shoes and equipment with your son’s first and last name. Don’t forget to label the laundry bags, tennis racquet, baseball glove and clothing worn on the bus.
Shop online at Everything Camper or call: (917) 243-9054.
ALL items of clothing and/or equipment MUST be labelled using sewn in labels or permanent markers to reduce lost items throughout the summer. Please do not bring expensive valuables to camp! We will not be responsible for lost or damaged items.
PACKING
DON’T OVERPACK! Our packing list is very detailed. Each camper has a 5-drawer dresser with shelves above their bed. Please follow our list for quantities on all clothing. We recommend packing in two large duffel bags (nothing longer than 42” and/or greater than 75 pounds). Please make sure that all bags are clearly marked with your child’s first and last name.
LAUNDRY
Laundry is done once a week. Your child’s clothing and bedding will be cleaned and returned within 72-96 hours. While we have had much success with our laundry service, your child should not send any articles of clothing that are not machine washable. As a general rule, if you don’t want to risk your child’s clothing getting lost or ruined, don’t bring it to camp. Please pack your child with two laundry bags with his full name clearly written on the bag.
PACKING LIST
BEDDING
Campers should bring twin size bedding to camp. Pack your child’s favorite stuffed animal or blanket for their bed.
EYEGLASSES AND CONTACT LENSES
If your child wears eyeglasses or contact lenses, please send enough replacement lenses and an extra pair of eyeglasses, labeled clearly with their name.
NO PLASTIC, CARDBOARD or SNAP DRAWERS are allowed at camp. Each camper has a 5-drawer dresser and shelves above their bed. There is no need to send extra drawers or shelving of any kind.
Please note: We are not responsible for baggage, clothing, electronics, sporting goods, laundry, etc., sent or brought to camp that may be damaged, lost, or stolen, either during transit or while at camp.
