- Change of clothes

- Bug spray

It is also a good idea to label your campers' belongings, so
they make it home at the end of the day. Please do not
bring personal electronic devices: iPods/iPads, cell phones,
computers, any other electronics that are expensive and
can be broken or disruptive to camp, matches, lighters, knives, valuable items, gum, candy, or snacks.

a.m. – 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. – 5:30 p.m. Caregivers
must sign their child in and out daily and present ID. If you
need to collect your camper early for any reason, then please
be sure to let us know at least a couple of hours before you
arrive and we can be sure to have your camper ready for
you.

Cloquet to Camp Miller on July 6-10 and from Hinkley to
