Helpful tips:
Use a fine point sharpie to label items – write on tags or seams to avoid bleeding through – labeled items are less likely to be lost
For littles, put their daily outfits in a gallon size ziploc bag – lay shorts on floor, place shirt, socks and undies on top, then roll and put in bag
Write names in the front of their Bible and on their water bottle
Ensure your camper has all they need to be comfortable, but remember the more items they bring, the more they are responsible for
