What to Bring


Why are the bathrooms called Egypts?


answer...   


What paperwork do my parents need to fill out before I come to camp?

After you register you will receive a packet of information containing, a Health Form, Parent/Camper information sheet, and rafting waivers. These need to be completed and returned to the Chattanooga camp office at least 2 weeks before your session begins. Otherwise your parents will be asked to fill these forms out during check-in and that will delay your settling into your cabin.

** Hiking Boots
(required for all Explorer sessions and recommended for all campers ages 12 and up)

There is a camp-out possibility during each one-week session. Your child will need a sleeping bag or old blanket. All campers in the two-week session, Explorer, Adventure and CIT camps will camp out.

Be sure boots are broken in before you come to camp. No new boots! T-shirts and hats with symbols or writing which exhibit a lack of good taste or disrespect are prohibited. This includes graphics such as beer logos, offensive rock and roll logos, illegal substances or inappropriate behavior. Two-piece bathing suits will not be allowed.

Radios, CD players, cell phones, beepers, fireworks, sheath knives, chewing gum, food and electronic games are not allowed in camp. Gum and food are a health problem because they attract insects and rodents into the cabin areas. Please don't send them.
