A detailed Camper’s List will be sent in your Welcome Email from [email protected] about one week before camp starts.

Essentials (bring every day)

  • Water shoes with closed backs (old sneakers work great) for safe sampling
  • Walking shoes or closed-toe shoes for land activities (no flip flops or sandals)
  • At least two reusable water bottles
  • Snacks for all sessions; full-day campers also need a packed lunch (peanut/tree-nut free preferred, reusable containers encouraged)
  • Personal sunscreen for reapplication (campers apply their own unless a parent note is provided)
  • Sun protection: hat, rash guard, etc.
  • Towel
  • Swimsuit (worn under clothes for quick changes)
  • Sense of wonder and adventure!

Optional (check with your location first)

  • Dip net: Label with name in waterproof marker; avoid long, fragile handles. Not available at all sites—contact us to confirm.
  • Crab trap and line: Hand-lines provided to share; not available everywhere—contact us ahead.
