Packing list
Whether this is your first summer camp experience or one of many, there is always a sense of excitement and possible anxiety when it comes to packing and making sure the “right” gear and clothing find their way into our bags.
Our Printable Packing List below includes both a bare-bones packing checklist as well as a technical gear guide with information that will help you choose the right camping gear for your chalutzim (campers).
We have partnered with REI and PackForCamp to simplify camp packing. We highly recommend checking out both of these retailers for all your camp needs! For our JOLI and Sayarim campers who will be participating in more intensive masa’ot (backcountry excursions), please pay special attention to the items listed as required.
