f you've ever sent a child to
camp, you know administrators
invariably include in their hefty
packet of "Getting Ready For
Camp!" a list of "items to bring
along for the summer." Often this
is useful; sometimes, it is not.
Why take chances? For the most
complete list of necessary camp
stuff ever compiled in the history
of campdom, you need look no
further than below:
One stamped postcard home —
Children will grudgingly send this
as soon as they get to camp, to
let their parents know they have
arrived safely and because they
won't be let into the cafeteria for
dinner until they have done so.
After that, though, you can forget
about mail. Parents, however,
should be certain to write a letter
to children at least once a day.
Don't make it too wordy.
Underwear — at least 30 pairs,
one for each day the child will be
gone because no one in her right
mind will do laundry while at
camp, and even if she does her
clothes won't come clean.
Food, and lots of it — Parents, if

you've read the brochures you
know camp administrators DO
NOT want this and be assured,
they say, that your darling boy or
girl will have plenty to eat with the
regular meals offered at camp.
Food can cause jealousy among
bunkmates and bring bugs into the
camper's "living" area. But just ask
your child and he'll assure you
that he's absolutely famished all

the time and if you don't get some
food to him soon he'll likely waste
away to nothing. Some ideas:
candy bars, popcorn, potato
chips, jars of peanut butter.
Granted, your child is absolutely
famished, but this does not mean
he wants spinach casserole.
Deodorant and other simple joys
of cleanliness — There's some-
thing about being at camp that
makes everyone feel, well,
grungy, even from the moment she
steps out of the shower. No one
wants to be spotted applying foun-
dation and mascara, because that
is definitely not done camp, no
matter how much you secretly
desire it. But freshening bath
splashes, a nice shampoo, a femi-
nine-smelling soap all will be
greatly appreciated by female
campers.
Reading material — not The
New York Times or anything like
that, but rather periodicals and
articles about sports or Hollywood
gossip. When you're away at
camp, with so little contact with
the outside world, you can
become dangerously out of touch
with the really important things in
life, like who Tori Spelling is dat-

ing.
Love notes — Your children will
deny it, but be assured these will
come in handy at least once.
They'll get homesick, they really
will, and while it will seem sappy
when they wake up the next day,
a note that says, "I love and miss
you, sweetheart. You're the great-
est!" can be just the thing to help
a woeful camper get a good
night's sleep. ❑
