🧳 Packing for Winter Camps: What to Bring (and What to Leave at Home)

Preparing for winter camp can be just as exciting as the camp itself! Whether it’s your child’s first winter adventure or they’re a seasoned camper, packing smart helps them stay comfortable, confident, and ready for fun — no matter how chilly it gets outside.

Here’s your go-to guide for what to pack (and what not to) for a smooth, stress-free winter camp experience.

🧥 What to Bring

✅ Warm Layers:
Think lots of layers — T-shirts, jumpers, and a weatherproof coat. Layering helps your child stay warm outside and cool off when indoors.

✅ Waterproof Coat & Boots:
Even if it’s not snowing, expect wet grass and puddles. Waterproof outerwear is a must.

✅ Spare Clothes:
Pack at least one extra set of everything — socks, trousers, gloves, and hats. You’d be surprised how fast things get muddy or damp!

✅ Hat, Scarf, and Gloves:
Warm accessories make a huge difference during outdoor play. A fleece or knitted set works perfectly.

✅ Water Bottle:
Hydration matters even in cold weather. A reusable bottle keeps things eco-friendly.

✅ Healthy Lunch & Snacks:
We encourage nutritious, balanced lunches to keep campers full of energy throughout the day.

✅ Label Everything:
It’s amazing how similar everyone’s jumpers look — labels help make sure everything goes home with the right person!

🚫 What to Leave at Home

❌ Nut Products:
Our camps are strictly nut-free to protect children with allergies. Please double-check lunchboxes and snack packs.

❌ Electronics:
Phones, tablets, and gaming devices are best left at home — we want campers focused on play, not screens!

❌ Valuables or Sentimental Items:
Things can get lost in the excitement. Keep precious items safe at home.

❌ Large Bags or Heavy Luggage:
Pack light — everything should fit into one backpack or small holdall.

💡 Pro Tip:

Pack together with your child! It helps them know what’s inside their bag (and where to find things during the day).
