Rainy Day Readiness — Because It Will Rain

 

Welcome to Northeast camp life: one minute sunshine, next minute monsoon.
Your camper will survive — if they’re prepared.

Essentials for the “uh-oh” forecast:

• Lightweight rain jacket (bright colors = easier to find!)
  
• Flip-flops or waterproof slides (yes, again)
  
• Extra socks. Actually, double the socks.
  
• A few plastic or mesh bags for wet stuff
  

Nice-to-Have:

• Quick-dry towel
  
• Small umbrella (if camp allows)
  
• Hairbrush for post-downpour tangles 😅
  

Mom Hack:
Tuck all rain gear into one labeled gallon bag so your camper can find it before it starts pouring.

✨ The Bottom Line:

Item	Why It Matters
Rain Jacket	Dry kid = happy kid
Extra Socks	Always wet, always needed
Plastic Bags	The unsung hero of camp

If it doesn’t rain at least once, is it even real camp?
