Packing for Summer Camp

Camp is a good place for old well-worn clothes! Old clothes don't mind abseiling, caving, climbing and mountain biking. Please note all bedding is supplied.

What does everyone wear at camp?

Camp is no place to be worried about fashion! So casual wear is back in style at Camp Beaumont! Shorts, jeans and T-shirts are just fine with us. We strongly believe that people should not be judged by the clothes they wear. In attempting to be a place where everyone is accepted for who they are, we recommend Camp Beaumont T-shirts and baseball caps.

Clothing suggestions depend on length of stay, typically they include:

  • Full Camp Kit (includes 5 Camp Beaumont t-shirts, cap and holdall)
  • 2 pairs of jeans or trousers
  • Track suit or similar
  • 4 pairs of shorts
  • 2 jumpers or sweatshirts
  • Anorak or waterproof jacket
  • Trainers
  • Old shoes
  • Socks
  • Slippers
  • Swimming things
  • Change of clothes for the evening
  • Fun clothes or costume for special event day
  • 2 towels (one for washing and one for swimming)
  • Wash Bag - soap, flannel, toothpaste, toothbrush, deodorant, brush and a plastic bag
  • Pillow case or Camp Beaumont holdall for dirty clothes.
  • Sufficient underwear for just over one week

Labelling

EVERYTHING MUST BE LABELLED CLEARLY WITH CAMPER'S NAME.

Camp Beaumont uniform has prefixed name labels within the t-shirts. Please use last name and first name, or initial of first name.

Attach a list of your camper's belongings inside their suitcase to help ensure their return at the end of their stay. Please mark all items clearly.

Dirty Clothes?

For campers staying more than one week, they don't have to worry about running out of clean clothes. Once a week dirty clothes will be collected and washed. It takes about 2 days to wash the camp's laundry. If children are staying for one week they need to bring about 10 days worth of clothes with them. They can always stock up on extra camp uniform from the Camp shop.
